Southwest Nose Gear Collapse LGA

[humveedriver]

I actually think you might be fun to fly with.


Everyone be safe out there.

Jesus. Are you on medication for your split personalities?

 

[FlyinGuy]

Your airline shows an absolute disregard for safety, regardless of your record.

Really???? Do you have any real information to back up this claim? I didn't think so. I know this is FI, but dude you're an idiot.

Anyway, the point was not to disparage USAir (or any other airline), but to point out DCA's glaring and absurd hypocrisy in his post with the "outrage" about daring to defend Southwest's safety record. His implication was that we had the worst record, despite the facts not bearing out his assertion in the slightest.

It's frightening to think that some of these guys might actually be pilots.

Jesus. Are you on medication for your split personalities?

Nope, but seeing that Bubba and I are both military, when the Admiral says guys fly A to B safely, we are gonna happily do it and get along. Nothing personal. Called being mission orientated.

Do you always answer your own questions? I am the idiot? The pics of the plane at LGA are real information. In case you didn't pick up on it, I am calling you a moron.

DCAA320,

Don't be a SWA hater bro, go fly your Admiral and get the mission done Oh if you haven't had a formal welcome to civil aviation, welcome. Oh wait you have 15,000 hours and fly a 767!LOL You had me fooled for a second. So this just narrows down to you being ignorant about SWA. Well have to go get my mission done Mission LOL!

wow.

Yuck. Recommend y'all avert your eyes after the skidding stops.

Go Around, Your High, Your Low, Your Slow, Your Fast, Sink Rate....I think that about covers them.

 

[Dash Power]

Something about glass houses come to mind.

If you don't think this can't happen to you or your airline, I don't want to get on any airplane with you at the controls.

Someone said somewhere that humility is the single most important trait in a pilot. This thread lacks much humility.

One words is all it takes. "Go Around" Questions?

What geniuses!

SWA Bubba, I've been with you up until now. You really lost me at "we taxi at FAA approved speeds."

No reason to bullchit us bullchitters, magne. Just because I don't get pulled over and get a ticket when I go 80 on the interstate does not make it Highway Patrol approved speeding.


There sure are a lot of twunts in teh back running their adult pacifiers ("smart ass phones") while the plane is landing. LGA cattle is my least favorite cattle. I pity our FA's who have to deal with them.

Last trips' DH had me sitting next to a fool who unbuckled while the buckets were still deployed, (while I'm next to him in uniform), failed in his attempt to bash his way past everyone in the aisle to get to the front of the plane 200 feet in front of the gate, and yell repeatedly for everyone ahead to get moving. I was actually wishing one our FO's would yet again "accidentally" set the parking brake on the captain on his after landing flow and break this member of the NYC's chosen people's nose.

On the flight up, while on a very short taxi in, some turd blows off the FA to go pinch a loaf WHILE WE ARE CROSSING AN ACTIVE RUNWAY. F all these people. The demonstrated improvement in respect, cooperation and compliance toward crew members after 9/11 has long since fallen away. We are back to trucking childish, self centered disgusting fat bodies.

I should just go ahead and get myself an M1 Garand, because I already hate most people, on my lawn or not.

Other than that actually being TWO words, you probably have a point.

Of course I am--just ask me. In fact, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that I'm my most favorite captain to fly with ever!
