Shuttle America guys in E 170 laugh at Us

[B-J-J Fighter]

We were sitting on the pad at HPN waiting for a gate when a Shuttle America 170 pulls up on the pad to our right. We are sitting there with both engines running vibrating and making a lot of noise like more t-props. I look out my window just trying to kill a little time as we were next in line for a gate. When i look out my window both the guys in the 170 of course were looking down at us and laughing pointing at our a/c. Of course I couldn't hear what they were saying but I can only imagine. I hope most CHQ/SA 170 pilots are like these guys.

How do you know they weren't laughing WITH you?

 

[B-J-J Fighter]

Very well could have been laughing WITH us, however I doubt that. It was almost a schatt eating grin.

The road to hell is paved with schatt eating grins, get over it.

"Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

"The best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go awry."

"Treat your f/os with respect because they could be your next captain."

Time tested words of wisdom.

A decade ago Shuttle America was nothing more than an idea to run a Dash-8 commuter in New York.

A decade ago the Chautauqua pilots were flying battered Jetstream 31s.

A decade ago Piedmont and Allegheny were the premier regional airlines.

A decade ago we all drooled over the new PSA Dorniers.

A decade ago we all wanted to be in the pool at United.

A decade ago Mesa had a base in Dubois, PA.

A decade ago Valujet was pay-for-training.

A decade ago TWA was hiring.

A decade ago the F28, the F100, and the DC9-10 were all "regional jets" -- and they all paid more than the E170 does today (even if you correct for inflation).

Anyone who laughs at another pilot's situation is a very, very poor student of aviation history.

But for the grace of god, there go we all.

Furloughedagain, excellant post. You know, the older I get, the more I realize that I don't know crap. In life in general and in this dumb industry in specific.

 

[Prop2Jet]

You know what is even funnier, I make the same amount of money flying a turboprop that these guys make flying their E-170! From my window the sky looks the same as their view.......

I actually enjoy flying rather than pushing a bunch of buttons. What about you?

 

[siucavflight]

Maybe they were laughing at your tow pins?

 

[I.P. Freley]

Maybe they were laughing at your tow pins?

Or maybe they were laughing about something else entirely unrelated to the vibrating turboprop next to them... This thread sounds like a bit o' flame, but what the heck do I know?

 

[McNugget]

How did you see both of them at the same time? Was the F/O sitting on the captain's lap and getting a lesson with the tiller? Maybe they weren't laughing at you guys, they were just having a good time with each other.....heh heh heh. See, next time you are in that situation, you can laugh right back.

 

[B-J-J Fighter]

No flame intended whatsoever.

 

[Denny CRJ]

I'd probably laugh at you too! You probably work for Colgan or Commutair...flying that joke of an "airliner" the 1900. I can't believe how many people think thst Turboprops are good experience. They are a dying fleet. Come get some time in a real airplane. I bet a glass cockpit would kick your arse.

Those guys in the 170, now thats a real airplane. I was hoping we'd get those here, but scope strikes again!

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Denny,

I've been reading a few of your posts today. I'm going to assume that you are the latest incarnation of the Guat or Guppykiller.

That has to be it. Nobody can be as big a knucklehead as you appear to be.

 

[Green Banana]

Denny,

Wow DUMB A $ $, Nice Blog.
I hope that is your pic you dork...

Awe....this is not even worth my time...

F'n Tool.

The Guat.....That was the funniest most short lived thread I think I have ever seen!!!! Remeber that kid's web page!?!?!? It was to sad not to laugh! Moderators....can you un-delete a thread; for entertainment purposes? Please

 

[Wasted]

Maybe they were laughing because they knew you couldn't tell from your lower vantage point that neither of them had any pants on.

I flew the SAAB before I transitioned to the Avro. After the initial erection from flying a four engine (granted they were small engines) jet went away, there were times I wished I was back in the Saab. The Saab flying was more fun and a lot more challenging. How many ILS's into a 10,000 ft runway can a guy fly a day? That is all we did in the Avro. In the Saab, we were doing VOR approaches to minimums at uncontrolled fields with 5,000 feet of runway. That is what I call a challenge. The hot summer days WERE tough in the Saab though. I lost about ten pounds a day in water.

How much Turboprop time do you have?

I can't believe I just wasted my time on this guy.

I did like the Vibromax 3000 experience though.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Kinda annoyed that whoever posed as me used my first name...but hey... sounds like they had fun with their drinking last night, haha.

I am Denny...and that was not me posting. You guys have been getting your bloodpressure up over another fake dude.


I took that picture in hopes that somebody on here would find it and post it... use it to help others on here feel "high and mighty and more professional" than that idiot wearing elvis sunglasses. It only took 2 weeks. Freaking awesome. I owe somebody a beer.

 

[psysicx]

What is the blog address for that guy?

 

[Prop2Jet]

DENNY CRJ! Cool man you have 9000 hours and still fly the RJ! You have to be joking....U are such a dork. Your car license plates are probably "CRJ GUY" and you try to pick up chicks in your uniform at the local store. Man you are such a tard.

hahahh but your funny I have to say you are funny!

Next time, just start pointing frantically at their engine and make the "shut-down" sign like they're on fire. It's bound to cause them at least a few minutes of confusion and maybe even make them late.

 

[Burt Gutherie]

Must be typical flame from this guy, what loser would cry on a message board about somebody laughing at them? Sounds like a child.
