Swa pilots-stay away from pprune

[Dornier 335]

Heaven forbid!!!

Yup..constantly bashing American pilots, give them a green card they would be here in a second...quite often my rebuttals to their Aussie moronic comments "disappear"...

It's because those damn yanks don't use proper radiotelephony phraseology and they keep "dumping" fuel instead of jettison fuel and they keep calling the spectacles a yoke etc. Truly shocking!

Funny thing though when I flew contract for a UK airline the phraseology had to be precise, whereas the hand flying skills were not deemed that important.

What a bl00dy reverse priority those damn yanks have!

As always, Nigel knows best!

A British Airways ops memo from 1996

British Airways Flight Operations Department notice.

"There appears to be some confusion over the new pilot role titles. This
notice will hopefully clear up any misunderstandings.

The titles P1, P2 and Co-Pilot will now cease to have any meaning, within
the BA operations manuals. They are to be replaced by Handling Pilot,
Non-handling Pilot, Handling Landing Pilot, Non-Handling Landing Pilot,
Handling Non-Landing Pilot, and Non Handling Non-Landing Pilot.

The Landing Pilot, is initially the Handling Pilot and will handle the
take-off and landing except in role reversal when he is the Non-Handling
Pilot for taxi Until the Handling Non-Landing Pilot, hands the Handling to
the Landing Pilot at eighty knots.

The Non-Landing (Non-Handling, since the Landing Pilot is Handling) Pilot
reads the checklist to the Handling Pilot until after the Before Descent
Checklist completion, when the Handling Landing Pilot hands the handling to
the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot who then becomes the Handling
Non-Landing Pilot.

The Landing Pilot is the Non-Handling Pilot until the "decision altitude"
call, when the Handling Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the
Non-Handling Landing Pilot, unless the latter calls "go-around", in which
case the Handling Non-Landing Pilot, continues Handling and the
Non-Handling Landing Pilot continues non-handling until the next call of
"land" or "go-around", as appropriate.

In view of the recent confusion over these rules, it was deemed necessary
to restate them clearly."

My god, thats brilliant. You're quite the wordsmith. What happens after they receive your witty sharp edged rebuttal ? Please, do go on. You cant just leave us hanging.

Merica !

Fred, if I had read that a year ago, I wouldn't have believed it.

One year later, I can believe it.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm!
