Thank you Express Jet (Jetlink)

[buscap]

the only time i fly really slow on approach or use all the runway is when southwest is behind me. I find that i can save lives by slowing them down a bit.

Great avatar!!!

I've got a Rolling Stone Magazine coffee table book open to that picture on my mantle.

And on the Go-around thingy....I find my checkrides go better if I get a chance to practice a few go-arounds every now and then.

I haven't come up with a way to practice v-1 cuts yet.

I just wanted to take a a second to vent and send out a big FOFF to the Jetlink crew that decided to use all 11,000ft of runway at GSP to land in their E-145. You made us do a go around. Now this wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't know that you heard us ask Approach if we could speed up a little because we were late. Thanks for your blatant disreguard for the guy behind you and for your lack of airmanship. 11,000ft.? Really? for an E-145? Really? Thanks.

The concrete is theirs until they exit. Sounds like your extra speed got you too close, would not that be a lack of airmanship too?

Maybe they were doing IOE.

Anti-skid deferred with inop thrust reversers.

Bingo.

Only one way to settle this........Chinese Downhill !!

Taxiway A was closed when I was there this weekend. Coming in on 22, if you missed F, you were going to the end, as there was no place to exit anywhere in the middle of the runway.

You must mean the 180kts assigned that we were given 20 miles out. The Guy was never less than 5 miles in front of us the entire time we were there. Not sure about you but I usually don't fly that slow that far out. Oh well my rant is complete. Thanks for humoring me.

We landed 4 and both Highspeeds were open.

Ok, then don't know why they would have had to go all the way down to the end. Sorry you didn't get much sympathy in this thread. And sorry you had to keep your hot date at the hotel waiting.

You think speeding up 10 or 20 knots in the last 5 mins of the flight makes up any significant amount of time? I'd be willing to bet if you hadn't made such a dumb request they would have made the first high speed.

Thought this was another, "Thanks for holding my hand while you walked me down to the jumpseat" threads.

i know, seriously.
