I guess they just like to cut corners.

CA: " Think I can make it past that light pole?"
FO: " I don't know. It looks kinda tight."
CA: " You new guys worry about everything."

CRUNCH.

I will donate the RUNWAY SAFETY dvd that The faa send me to SouthWest so that they can put it on their ground school.

 

[njcapt]

Jeez, somebody leaves the toilet seat up in the lav on a SWA flight and it makes the news.

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

Dude, they hit a LIGHT POST?.... I think its kinda funny myself. Of Course, SAN is a pretty tough place to taxi, that long parallel and all....

Really, you poor bastards can't get a break these days, big deal - a Light Post.

 

[FN FAL]

will they replace that light pole with a discount light pole, or a full price one?

 

[T45Flyer]

The way were going, we are going to get a volume discount on light poles.....

Or you could give it to your primary student when he shows up at the FBO, for his next lesson in about half an hour. Pilot's who like to stumble on other pilots misfortunes, now I know this forum is loaded with degenerates and the erstwhile or never was. You guys are pathetic, go back to playing HALO.

Ummm....what?

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

Looks like Dennis has his thong on backwards again.....

 

[TAZ MAN]

Looks like Dennis has his thong on backwards again.....

Unlike yours being on straight, nice and tight?

Although Dennis was showing the effects of a great New Years Eve, his point is well taken.

Everyone of us have been with a company that has had its fair share of unfortunate sh!t.

Something about stones and glass houses??

Party on Dennis and Happy New Year.

Erstwhile and playing HALO.:beer:

Something about stale and inapplicable cliches? Grog didn't say anything about the incident in his most recent post. Although you could've been referring to the future possibility of his saying something completely irreducible to cogent thought. Then it would apply. But it would still be stale.

 

[Dennis Miller]

Hey sorry grog_sit_reserv, I haven't read a response so unassailable since Danny advised the New Kid's on the Block that he was parting the band to brood over his flying career. Sorry if I have exposed you in a injurious way. Happy New Year to all of you whom share the providence of self-discipline. Then again maybe I'm f*ckin nuts.

[grog_sit_reserv]

Well I did say it was funny.... I mean, come on, a light post....

But I also said those poor bastards couldn't get a break right now. So, since I did say "Bastards" and "Funny" I guess it was easy for Dennis to construe that I am obviously anti-southwest.

Or, maybe the thong Dennis' is wearing is one of those BDSM ones as well as being on backwards, either way Dennis relax, I'm sure your mistress will let you out soon.

But it is funny.

 

[Dennis Miller]

Well maybe it is just me but I do have a quandary with other pilots who gibe the misfortunes of another pilot which has no other abiding value. Cut these Southwest guys some slack, unless you feel some infantile need to go around and blather about the ill-fated, I don't.

 

[gkrangers]

They weren't ill fated, they hit a light post. Sheesh.

Whats wrong with light hearted humor?

Stale and inapplicable? Maybe. I will try much harder next time to try and make it to your satisfaction. NOT!

If you read carefully, I was responding to Dennis's remark.

Really Phaedrus, you seem more literate than that.

And I was also kidding Grog.:laugh: :laugh:

 

[Phaedrus]

TAZ, mea culpa. I retract my "inapplicable" comment completely.
Literate? I can't even read an internet post without misinterpreting it.

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

Thanks Taz, to be honest, I thought we were all kidding, sorry Dennis got so wound up, usually I like his stuff; guess we all just rubbed him the wrong way today.

We all know nothing's gonna' happen to these guys. Yeah, they blew it, big deal. They're gonna go to the CP's office, he's gonna spank 'em. They're gonna get some sort of remedial training at their Training Center and wammo, they'll be much more careful next time; crises over.

I'm sure it sucks now for them, but, I'll bet the Captain will be joking about it later.

 

[Dennis Miller]

Maybe I am just wound up, could be that I haven’t got much sleep lately, I feel like Senator Byrd, and he’s burning the cross at both ends. I just don't like to make merriment of other pilots mistakes, I feel like the Karma Chameleon is going to come over and tumble for ya. Do you really want to hurt me. Why are the Thompson Twins a Threesome?

 

[Phaedrus]

Why are the Thompson Twins a Threesome?

Why is a jetway a place for people to walk?
Why do aircraft use a taxiway?
Why can't joggers use a runway?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

Three.

Peace,

A-one, a-two, a-thr-r-r-reeee....You can't argue with the wise old owl.
Peace, out.

Can the wise old owl tell us how many feet you have to be off the taxi line to hit a f%*&#@! light pole ?

SAN DIEGO – No one was injured today when a jet taxiing around another plane clipped a light pole at Lindbergh Field, airport officials said.

The pilot of a Southwest flight was taking a detour around a Northwest plane stuck on a taxi way when a wingtip of the Southwest plane hit a light pole, authorities said.The accident was reported at 2:45 p.m., said Rob Wigington, spokesperson for the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.

The light pole was damaged, as was the wing of the plane, Wigington said.

The Southwest passengers were taken off the plane and the airline found other flights for them, Wigington said. The plane was headed for Las Vegas, and then to Norfolk, Va., Wigington said.

The Northwest plane had a smoking nose gear that needed to be replaced and was stuck on the runway for more than two hours, a San Diego Fire Department dispatcher said.

Let me guess? A320?
