Wrong OYS. On glideslope in the tdz. Try again!

Open or closed roof?

How does "slamming it on" help maintain one's "schedule"?

How does "slamming it on" help maintain one's "schedule"?

Well, slamming it on to wrinkle the fuselage probably could happen a couple ways. One being hard landings on a spot to try to make a certain intersection or reverse, and the other way is to slam on the brakes to also make a turn off. To maintain tight turn times, anyone could surmise that those are two plausible situations for SWA pilots, which is evident with 6 planes with early cracks. You should know that when people are hungry or need to take care of personal problems via the phone, and only have 15-20 min before their next launch to Ontario, they could conceivably slam it on to give them extra time in the terminal. Make sense, yet? Why was Boeing surprised with the cracks at such early cycles? It does make sense. I am glad it didn't turn out worse, 6 times.

We get it OYS, you are a SWA hater. I've flown SWA numerous times, and can count on on hand the number of "hard" landings you speak of. I guess you being at Delta feel others to be inferior to your superior pilot skills?!?!

 

[fugghedabowdit]

Oh, now I get it! Nice try but no, we don't do that. Try to grease em as much as we can. Passengers and FAs likey.

Maybe "waiting for numbers" and windchecks enhance fuselage integrity. As former UAL and now big D you should know that your airline's next incident/screwup/media pounding is only a matter of time away and those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Not a SWA hater, just trying to figure out how this can happen. Even Boeing is trying to figure it out. You probably think they hate SWA too? Don't get paranoid.

You are right, it could happen anywhere. But 6 planes ready to open up? That ain't good. Not throwing rocks here. Maybe relaxing the turn times will allow for smoother handling thanks to less pressure. Don't worry, ATL will show you how to have patience. No inboard runway landings, waiting to cross after 20 departures, etc. You'll LUV it.

Woo-hoo a big-city airport!!! I'm looking forward to it. These LBB turns are getting sooo old.

Nice attempt at backtracking once you painted yourself in the corner.

'Slamming' it on doesn't help the schedule at all. Again....all Delta Flamebait.

Oys dude give it up already we get it. The SWA pilots are to blame. We got it, I agree.

Trying to point blame elsewhere. When Boeing questions what has happened, that should say something. Easy fix though, just change your landing procedures, and your turn times to allow for more taxi time. If it saves planes and potential lives, you should be all for it. Safety first, right?

If you had personal problems, like ED, you'd take Cialis, right? Sure you do.


OYS

What? Really? How did you get past the psych eval? Nice debating skills.

Boeing had a bad run on the factory line and you want to blame the Southwest pilots? How does that work for the other Aircraft during that period that are flown by other carriers? You make no sense. Sorry.

 

[The Prussian]

Putting it on hard and grabbing the binders is just something you can't get away with on the wide bodies as a landing at 490,000 lbs will break things every time if you operate hard and aggressively.

Be safe out there!

Well, then....I saw an A-380 land in LAX the other day that is destined for a short life indeed...

look at the on time stats. doing a real good job on keeping things on time.
