Genital lee is about as dumb as it gets. Absolutley clueless. It is hard to believe he is an airline pilot. The things this dumbass puts out is really something else. Another PFT rookie with an attitude.

The ignore list works well.

Did he get the "ditch switch" while he was at it? I guess not. Oh wait, those are USAIR procedures---one guy flies and talks on the radio while the other scrambles for a checklist. Obviously some things were missed, but being at such a low altitude I don't think only one guy should have been heads out, while the other buried in a book. It sure seemed like a one man show to me, which thankfully ended better than expected. I just would have EXPECTED to hear one voice, and then read the OTHER guy hand flew it in. Most of us hadn't heard who the FO was, or even if there was one. It was all about Sully. He told the stews to brace for impact. He told the controller he was heading for the Hudson. He hand flew it in. I guess Skiles was a newhire, with 36 years with the company...... But maybe that is a USAIR procedure.........classic.

I am surprised that someone who has over 13,000 posts would have some knowledge about airline ops. I guess I am incorrect.

Wow! This post was FANTASTIC. He resorts to 4th grade putdowns and he thinks I have no life. You couldn't debate yourself out of a paper bag, and if you fly for USAir you probably drink from one.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Except for the ditch switch. Anyway........... if you had a problem low level, would you go searching for a checklist..??? I think you need to write 13,000 times on the chalkboard "I should NEVER debate General Lee, I will lose everytime...."

Take care Menstral Jet. Your 737-200s did look like tampons.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Wow, so many guesses, and so many misses. Oh well, your name "McDoosh" still applies here. Enjoy it.

Bye Bye--General Lee

...The "ditch switch" is on the ditching checklist. it is 3 pages long, and totally obsolete at 3000 ft. The immediate threat in this case was a dual engine failure, which would warrant the dual engine flame-out in-flight restart checklist. These guys attempted to regain thrust all the way in. What would YOU have done General? oh master of the skies.

First, I might have told the aft stew NOT to accidentally open the aft door if we touch down in water. Next, I would have started singing "Cry me a RIVER" by Justin Timberlake, and started eating my $7 piece of pizza from Sbaro's.(it tastes better with mounds of chilli peppers all over it, and one sprinkle of cheeze)

Our dual engine failure immediate action item checklist really isn't that long on the 757/767, and might be able to be done with minimum inside looking. If we were aiming for the river, I might want to scan for any other traffic (like boats, barges, or hydrofoils) that the Capt or PF may not see. Sully pretty much made the decision to ditch, and he had to quickly. Just think how many people now know about a "ditch switch"? Thanks for that Sully. If you have time and you are landing in the water, I bet more people will include that switch into their scan just before impact. Why not, eh? And, I hope you, C-150ETOPS, weasel, and McDoosh all have fun loving each other.


Bye Bye--General Lee
 
He even has the ALPA issued "all about me", "1960's era" mustache. Classic. His picture should be on the back cover of ALPA magazine.

General,

Sometimes,..."silence is golden"
 
General Lee,

Since the non-issue of the ditch switch has gone right over your head, might I suggest your brief to the aft FA, and closing the outflow valve might be totally useless given the potential damage to the aft lower pressure vessel as in Sully's plane? Perhaps we can wait until the final NTSB critique on structural certification requirements for ditching transport aircraft?

As it stands in the Usair ditching, both of these items turned out to be not relevant to what happened, and both actions would have mattered just as much to the final outcome as Sully not collecting the raft survival bags, and passing out packets of drinking water to those standing on the wing.

But then again, if it works for you :erm:
 
...I sometimes wonder IF the "general" is someones KID starving for attention???

Well, welcome to FI. Maybe you are new to this, but this debate board is usually NOT silent. I am here for entertainment value, and have PMs from plenty that enjoy it. And if I am the only one who enjoys the humor, sobeit.


Bye Bye--General Lee
