Who has ever made that claim?

We all know and think about Joshua woods and the others hurt that day.

Southwest killed a kid in a car....guess that's not technically a fatality..tell the kid's family that

Yeah, it is.

His name is Joshua woods

Who do you work for that you can throw that kind of stone?

Thanks kernel

Colonel.

And while we're at it;
your = form of the possessive case of you used as an attributive adjective
you're = a contraction of "you are"
their = relating to or belonging to certain people, animals, or things : made or done by certain people, animals, or things
they're = a contraction of "they are"

Why are pilots so bad at spelling and grammar?! I agree that we're professionals who should command professional compensation, but when so many on here make those assertions and display the language skills of a 4th-grader; it doesn't help our cause much!

Ok. Rant over. Sorry wave- didn't mean to single you out..this is directed at SO many out there. My own company's internal pilot forum/blog also shows me that so many of my colleagues are in need of Rosetta Stone (for English).

Surprised SWA hasn't made the investment, small software change within the GPWS.

I think they did have it on a couple of planes, but the number of write-ups saying: "RAAS system not working. Will not quit saying: ON TAXI-WAY. Starts shortly after tug is removed and continues until takeoff. Resumes again upon exiting the runway" was too much to handle.

Sorry...I couldn't resist.

Question: Could the FAA come after you in this situation just because you happen to be riding up front?

And yes, I know what Chuck Norris would have done.

 

[DCAA320]

Yeah, it is.

His name is Joshua woods

You could at least show some respect and capitalize his last name, but then again, I don't expect much from you.

PS . . . How many jet type ratings are on your certificate without a limitation on circling? I'm betting zero.

I have 6. Am I worthy TY? I flew "Jets" at an airport with foggy seasons also that only had an NDB. Oh the horror how we ever did that. I must be cooooool. As far as adopting AAI procedures to prevent another Branson. Most of us that have a clue about these things already do this. It just means another 87 page bulletin.

No, but you're definitely a TOOL.

If you have 6 type ratings, it's probably because your winning personality got you canned 5 times.

:laugh:

We looked at the RNAV app into Branson and the smaller city airport is just off CTL of the final app crse...no making excuses but I can see the confusion possibility....

Hear, hear!!!...on what Buck said! Wanted to say that for years. Oh, I feel so much better now that I got that rant off my chest. OBTW...that "kernal" thing is an ongoing inside joke amongst some of our "civilian-challenged" members of our group.

 

[Just thinking]

no making excuses but I can see the confusion possibility...........

you must have had quite a reputation with the LSO for your line ups at sea.....

 

[PBRstreetgang]

You're out in the bush and Charlie is firing RPG's at your slick during your dust-off...

And you don't want to die...

That is an emergency take-off...

Got it?

Yeah, but "Charlie, don't surf"!

Hey kernals, could you tell me which of my 7800 posts I misspelled you're ?
I want to make sure I get right on that for FI

Good flame man

Oh, haven't you heard their excuse? "We didn't kill him. He choked on the McDonald's food he was eating at the time."

I'd choke on my happy meal as well if I saw a couple corn dogs (who were obviously a couple french fries short of a happy meal themselves) barreling through a fence at me..
