Thanks much to the CHQ crew...

[AirBill]

So where's the flight number? Where's the details? Enlighten us more fully, o sage of the skies.

If you're going to make a threat, at least have the nads to follow through on it.

 

[low-key]

yeah Ultrarunner is right, we as regional pilots just for go our safety and our passengers, we dont have wives and kids or girlfriends at home, just go with my motto aahhhhh Fuk'em! what are you some kind of idiot, jeeze! c'mon now, that might have been the most juvenile post ever.

 

[AWACoff]

The reason he doesn't post the flight number is because this probably happens daily at Chautauqua. You want the flight number of the morons that took off out of RDU last week during an active microburst alert for their runway? Even local wondered what they were doing.

This is such a classless post. I have had the crap scared out of me on just about every major airline out there, including AWA. This is nothing more than some idiot either making up this stupid story or trying to start yet another post to bash CHQ. Grow up and get a clue. If CHQ is such a dangerous airline, why have they not had more accidents in over 30 years? I am sure this happens daily on "fill in your airline name here." I want to know the morons who tried to fly while intoxicated at AWA. OH, I guess I do know. They no longer have jobs.

So in your 9000 hours you've never flown through something that painted level 1 on the wx radar but still managed to beat the crap out of you? Happened to me just last month, AWOS wasn't calling it a TSRA, looked like mild precip on the scope. Shot the approach, and got our asses kicked. It happens. Guess I'm glad no monday morning QB flightinfoers were in the back.

 

[Stick Man]

...who scared the $hit out of my wife tonight (and most aboard) while they tried to land in a thunderstorm. Realy classy....

Plenty of folks screaming on the plane....

Only smart thing they did was a GA, and held for 30 mins for the TRW to pass...

Next time around, wife reports that there wasn't any lightning right out the window...

Good grief....

idots!

OK, I'll admit it. I was the CA on the flight. But I didnt think it was gonna be that rough, in my defense. The radar was useless and the ATIS didnt report anything either. My NVG's were MEL'd and God wasn't answering my prayers.

However, your wife did approach me after the flight but she didn't say anything about the approach and landing.

In fact, she thanked me for the excellent service. So I told her that she was welcome and then she serviced me! After she was done, I cleaned her hair off, rolled her in flour, found the wet spot and "landed the big one" one more time. She did say that my second "approach and landing", if you will, was much better than my first. I took no offense and sent her on her way after I put her seatbelt extender back.

Tell her I said thanks.

DOUCHEBAG!

 

[Jester1092]

Yea, I've never been on a flight that was rockin and rollin on the approach.. First thing I did was go to a message board and blast the crew ..

 

[oldskoolbronco2]

funny how in the past year and a half biz jets have been getting wacked frequently becuase of not deicing and flying below published min's while airlines have had a record run with out any losses.

I guess if ultra-wife were to get put in a bizjet we might see a reduction in corprate accidents

unless you were there then don't talk smack ultradork

 

[Corbon]

So they were on approach, it was bumpy with thunderstorms in the area, the crew made a decision that aborting the approach and executing a go-around would be the safest thing to do, and did it. They held, came back around and landed safely. Where's the problem? Go whine to the surviving pax and crew on the AA MD-80 that went off the runway while trying to land in a thunderstorm in Little Rock and ask them to critique the Chautauqua crews decision.
And passengers ALWAYS know how serious a situation is. Just tonight on the news I saw where an AA MD-80 had a fuel emergency and diverted to another airport. The way the local media and the interviewed passengers made it sound, they were inches from death, which I'm sure was far from the truth. One described the airplane as "rolling its wings", and "I could tell we were descending fast", and another "I could hear the crew yelling Mayday" Ummm....yeah, you could hear them way back in your $99 coach seats. Riiiiight shotgun few more Bud Lights, that will improve your clarity.l

 

[Wheres the van?]

All flights to MCO have been cancelled until at least November or Thunderstorm season ends and AWACoff gives us permission to go!

I have never heard such self indulgent bulldust in my life,do your job with the information available to you and what experiances have thought you and dont worry what the other guy is doing he should neither influence or offend any of your petty sensibilities.

 

[I.P. Freley]

I have never heard such self indulgent bulldust in my life

I object to your use of language, sir! In future please use the term "bravo sierra" when referring to such things as bull droppings!

The airing of grievances...

I can't even believe I'm gratifying this thread with a response, but here it goes anyway.

Ultrarunner - the next time I want to backpedal out of something serious that I said but probably shouldn't have, I'm going to call you. I'm not going to insult your wife or anything of that nature, but you come on here, blast CHQ, and then try to say "You guys don't even understand I was trying to give them CREDIT for going around?" No. "Not buyin' it, counselor." You said you were going to post the flight number and dates? I'm glad you didn't, but what the *ell? Post it already! If you're giving credit to someone, just an fyi here, you don't use words like "moron" or "idiots" or plenty of other colorful phrases that have all been trotted out in this thread.

AWACoff -- let's just say for a minute that you're ABSOLUTELY right - that there was NO way they should have taken off. You and your captains or F/O's are totally exempt from having done something stupid? Let's see...I seem to remember a CRJ sliding off the runway in Madison last year. That was Air Wisc...do we really need to drag out all the incidents and cite how many dumbasses are at each airline and how CHQ or Air Wisc have things like this happen on a daily basis? Do we? Well, maybe we do. But I digress -- I bow down to the almighty bretheren of Air Wisconsin -- we all aspire to be you, AWACoff, we really do. So we can go forth and populate the world and make idiotic spineless statements like yours. Trust me, everyone in RDU thanks you for alerting them to what could have been a really terrible situation. And thanks, now everyone at CHQ knows what a dumbass they are, and we have such a bright shining example to look up to, seriously, thanks AWACoff.

This kind of *hit is ridiculous. Can't believe it inspired me to write even this much - but give me a freaking break.

[blott]

Talked to a guy who got hammered by a microburst recently, could have been that flight. TO-RES power and still lost few hundred feet.

[WIPilot]

Yeah, you'd think I'd made a freaking death threat with my original post. So freaking sensitive...

Someone point me to the PC Flight Info board please.

Think about it...what you said is like walking into a biker bar and telling a biker dude that his bike is a piece of $hit and that you had fun with his mom last night. Simple...Common...Sense...

 

[say again]

The people got there safely = great job by the crew. They did the right thing by GA, holding, and trying again when the conditions permit.

People screaming and being scared $hitless happens in ANY A/C, by any airline, all the time. Hit a little bit of turbulence and people think it's the end of the world.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Passengers scream at anything. Fault of media like NBC Dateline that aim to strike fear into the hearts of ignorant Americans. Women are overdramatic illogical pea-brains anyway, so I would not listen to sh1t like that from one anyway.

 

[front9]

Dont be late...

Penetrate!


whats wrong with that?

Nothing. Other than the fact that I first heard that one about the same time I started flying professionally about 35 years ago. But, I guess the good ones never go out of style.

 

[DDpaysoff]

There is no way your wife was on that plane, she was with me the whole time! I sent her home at 2a.m. with a smile. She may have taken Chautaqua to come visit me, but she had no complaints, they seem to do a good job. They just show up and do their job like the rest of us.

Sincerely,

Comair guy f'ing your wife.

turb never bothered me as a pass. on airliners except this one time. i think it was an EMB 170. takeoff was kinda shady. problems maintaining directional control. enroute i think in a procedure turn plane banked more that 50 degrees or so and the landing roll out was rough. looked out the windown and saw the runway edge get close real quick. im not bashing the pilots even tho it sounds like i am im just sharing my story with y'all. and yes i know i probably couldnt do any better

 

[Prop2Jet]

O my this is a really brutal thread.....

 

[Popeye0537]

LOL Kream...you think it was a 170? Just goes to show you don't know much about aircraft, let alone directional control. FYI the FMS maintains control during most of the approach segement, and I cant remember the last time I did a PROCEEDURE TURN in a Jet aircraft....priceless!! Lmao

 

[Kream926]

exactly

thanks for the insight

jackass

You probably never have....in fact no one has. It's PROCEDURE TURN. And your experience is probably pretty limited if you havent done one in a jet. Internationally, they are done most places.

You obviously don't fly into Mexico.

 

[Popeye0537]

Nope, dont fly into mexico CHQ donsen't go there. This was a CHQ bashing thread if you guys forgot.....AlabamaMan I'm sorry I put an extra E in Procedure turn, but should'nt you be screwing you sister or sheep or something right about now???

 

[Stifler's Mom]

I had a guy say that to me once....ONCE!!!!!!!!!
