NWA engine failure and brake fire upon landing in HNL

[accinelli]

Heard that NWA had an engine failure on a 757 which diverted to HNL. Brake fire upon landing. Anyone have details on this one.

Scab mechanics are dangerous.

Yes they are. Ive seen those trolls working on the airplanes before. They have sunken eyes and smell like stale urine. Their wives and girlfriends dont even respect them. They stay home at night too afraid to go out to the bars and spend most of their time looking at kiddy porn. I hate those scab mechanics. I wonder what it feels like to go to work knowing that you took another mans job and put him on the street and made his wife and kids suffer. I remember during the strike when I used to jumpseat on NWA while going to work. Many times they would stand in the jetways for some reason or another. They always tried to friendly because they knew what kind of low lifes they are. They would say hello and I would ignore them. By the time I got to the cockpit to ask for the jumpseat I would always be fuming just at the sight to these low lifes. I would usually tell the captain how much I hated seeing them. Some of the captains would just agree, others would tell me how they would try to give them a hard time. I thank those captains.

Now you get to sit right seat to the SCAB. How does that feel. Will you be so mouthy?

I pick my battles. Either way how do you suppose I handle it? Just sit there and accept it. I dont condone ever crossing a picket line. Just for you Secret Squirrel next time Im jumpseating through Detroit I will make sure that when I see one of these scabs I will be sure to shake thier hands and tell them what a bang up job they are doing. Then I will tell them that dont worry it will blow over and everyone will forget about it. People dont forget. Ever!

 

[Secret Squirrel]

I hope you can. Most don't. I just thought it was funny that you were pointing the finger at NWA mechanics when you will get to enjoy the company of many scabs on trips at CAL. Fight the good fight.

 

[Golden Falcon]

Yeah I agre s-s people seem to have forgotten the scabs at continental since the got forgiven and started paying union dues....what hypocrisy

 

[mdanno808]

I heard NWA last night. Requested 10,000, then said all they could hold was 8,000. They also said that they were getting some thrust out of the engine. I didn't know that there was a brake fire though.

Yeah, you restrict your battles to those that can't hurt you. Good tactic.

what an a$$

must make you feel big to be rude to someone being polite to you. I bet you stick your chest out when you are preflighting and tell the rampies you are a better class of person. I would also suspect that you are the same guy who wears his hat home while in the car so everyone can see you are a pilot. You also will die of a heart attack because you cannot lead a happy life, GOD i hope i never have to fly with you.

I call em' how i see em' you sir are an A$$

Oldxfr8dog,

I dont know why you are attacking me. If you are calling me a coward then obviously you dont know me. I have done my share of contributing to the union thing (not talking financially) and will continue to do so. Im just saying that it was a sad thing to see at NWA. It made me ill and I saw the frustration of the NWA mechs. standing there and then seeing these @holes in their new jumpsuits. If it wouldnt bother you then I guess we are diffrent.

I'm not attacking you. I just think it's funny that you can be "Mr. Attitude" to mx at a carrier you don't even work at, then make nice to your Ca that possibly did exactly the same thing.
And I have also contributed to "the union thing", with money (dues and strike assesements), and unpaid volunteer time.

I was truly hurt until I read your profile. Why don't you include your frosted tips, backpack, and black tennis shoes in it?

Hey meat,

You could always redeem yourself by moving the flight bag of a scab at CAL to another bag room.

In the middle of the night, of course.

He is a better class of person than a SCAB.

 

[oldxfr8dog]

I agree with you.

 

[McNugget]

From zero to flamebait in two posts, flat!

Yep. Welcome to the new FlightInfo.

So...how about that brake fire? A little too much Attention Deficit Disorder here.

I always bad mouth the employees and brag to a captain about it just before I ask for a free ride! Good for you!

Those aren't employees. They're picket-line-crossing replacements. There's a world of difference.

NWA pilots did not seem to care. And that was where the president of our union was from right? Must have been a non issue or ALPA would have stood up with them.
