SWA Pilot broke rules at MDW

[vv100]

regionaltard...it's an EXTRA 1000 ft beyond the touchdown zone..to account for the flare cues

And would someone please explain to LOWTURD the concept of Brake Energy Limits so we can be subjected to more insightful questions such as "Well if the sensors are inoperative, just how is the green determined?" ??

Miles O'Brien has NOTHING on you my man :laugh:

Just a quick note: The 737-300 will acheive a 30 minute or longer cooling time if the brakes exceeds 18.5 million foot pounds.

The 737-700 will acheive the additional cooling time if the brakes exceeds 32 million foot pounds, simply put, less of a problem even hot and high airports.

So let the NTSB do its job!!!

I think you should take valuable time away from your job picking lint from your navel to enlighten the uninformed. Afterall this is how I became learned in the meteorological phenomenon know as the Jetstream. Then tell us all again why WN hasn't allowed their pilots to use the autobraking system, and why now only recently do they plan to implement it? It must be they didn't want them getting too self-reliant on all this automation stuff. Afterall, if you don't use it.... you lose it. Comprende' VD?

picking the lint from my navel is NOT my job...just a hobby

Do you know if this flight was diverted, refueled and returned to midway, asked to hold and circle, and then in an attempt to land, the pilots wouldnt have thought there was reason to do anything but land if told by atc to do so, that ATA was landing, and runways were clear? I am just saying that there was no reason to believe, or be in disbelief, that they, in fact, circled and circled, and still couldn't land. Its tough to have weather delays, i know i certainly space in the cabin. : )

????????????? Thank you for that information.

I, really, have, no, clue, what, you, just, said

 

[canyonblue737]

everybody gets so worked up in this thread but at least we can all share in the humor of this recent post.

 

[bunniest27]

I am just imagining myself in a situation like this one, and i was wondering if they had already diverted and refueled. In that case I am certain they would be dead set on landing if cleared. And they seem to have been deciding how to break but were far ahead of the step that indeed they were landing on runway that was deteriorating. Anyhow, I just stand around at the bulkhead because I am asked to. : ) Happy Holidays Flyers

Anyhow, there are different ways to say WEATHER all, in the end.

Is engrish a seqond languiage for yous? Becuz I theenk that wouuld explane everrythang.

Your posts are making my wank soft.

 

[bunniest27]

Am I being that hard to understand?

 

[Phaedrus]

Hard to understand? Hwy on, oyu nare't. Ma I?
Seriously, you're grammar, especially in the sense of misplaced, commas, and other run-on anomalies, makes it difficult': to understand if you are serious, or, not serious. I'd like to hear your cabin announcements.

 

[bunniest27]

I forget that pilots are clearer speakers and listeners than flight attendants, next time I will leave out my slang for, HI ALL< I DIDNT KNOW THAT WEATHER CAN ENTAIL SO MANY PEOPLE AND THINGS < AND THANK YOU FOR ADDING YOUR EXPERTISE ABOUT THIS SO I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO CENTER MYSELF AFTER SUCH A TRAGEDY< THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY ENLIGHTENING PLACE AND AM NOT IN MY ELEMENT AS I AM ALL OVER THE PLACE> MY HEART JUST BREAKS THAT THIS HAPPENED< PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MANKIND > Finding the perfect moment and thinking, this time and space has always been here waiting.

All your base are belong to us.

the system requires about 600 feet of space beyond the runway while MDW only has 45-130 feet depending on which runway you are talking about. 31C has I think about 50 feet or so. the technology simply isn't possible with EMAS.

Wrong. About 275' and there is that distance from the runway end to the fenceline. There are 200' blastpads at each end plus a 50' localizer setback.

Are you doing anything... any night this weeik?

I think what some on this thread are saying is that SWA pushes the "sacred" envelope of on-time performance. This has nothing to do with the MDY accident but I flew for 16 yrs. in LAX... when we were in Terminal 2 and they were in Terminal 1. It was not unknown for them to play "chicken" on pushback. They were very aggressive in exerting their "interests". We flew 747s and could not crank four JT9s as fast or prepare for taxi as fast as they could. A lot of times we needed a current positive wind component of 4 or 5 knots to takeoff going to SYD, NRT or LHR. To say the least, I think I knew their culture then. We were incompatible and thought they did not play very fair.

 

[SWA/FO]

Hey what happened to the other 15 pages of this thread? You know life is not fair.

Look junior, I don't even like the way your bio says "negative military". It sounds like you are trying unsucessfully to be military or you are a little to proud of NOT being ex-military. So there! gggg.

 

[furloughed dude]

I agree with you F9. This guy is an idiot.

 

[SWA/FO]

Look old man,

Its already been covered... I'm not military, plain and simple . You want me to put "military" there, will that make you feel better kernal? Maybe I should put "both" how about that?
Furloughed dude, You're the idiot. I like your "call sign".:beer:

 

[SWA/FO]

If you are not military or ex-military, why not just simply say "civilian"? Going our of your way to say "negative military" implies a certain amout of disdain for military pilots. Is this the perception you are trying to create about your views?

I don't view his profile as being negative toward the military at all. I just view it as a play on words....negative and affirmative.

 

[SWA/FO]

Thanks Prussian....

If everybody had to explain their "profile" we would all be in trouble. The total truth of the matter is that if I put "civilian" or "military" I would be just like everybody else. So I wanted to do something that looked different. I just took a different angle on the whole question. Just like folks do with their "Curr Position" question.

All caught up on your shoelace rotation for the month? What about velcro grooming? You can always spiff up your velcro fastners by brushing them out and cleaning the lint out from the hook side. Don't forget to use the brush in the correct direction for proper re-orientaiton of the velcro hooks.

Ha, I dint think I'd open this thread to see a bunch of grown men caterwauling about what was or wasn't in someone's profile.
