Thanks much to the CHQ crew...

[ultrarunner]

Yeah, you're right. This should have really been on the FRAC/Netjet board.

 

[FlamingFUPA]

Yeah because you guys are such upstanding pilots, and not losing customers due to poor service.

 

[Spinplate]

At least if you f%^k up in the airlines you could still have a job. One of our pilots was fired the other day for having a rough landing and the owner spilled his wine. Oh boo hoo. Rich pricks, makes me sick. But he must of screwed up bad even with trailing link gear.

Nice Avitar, suprised they let you keep it. Speaking of PC, this board is a little over the top.

 

[DX Rick]

Fine, I'll let it go. But when the crew comes on and makes a PA after the GA that they are going to "wait for the thunderstorm that is over the field"...and then try again...

I highly doubt the crew would come on and say that. If they actually did, they are morons for admitting to the pax they tried landing in the middle of a TS.

Not a chance you wife was over reacting?

 

[SkyBoy1981]

Yeah, you're right. This should have really been on the FRAC/Netjet board.

Yeah, like the Flight Options guy that was bashing regional pilots not long ago. Obviously he rides in the back enough, so felt the need to say that RJ pilots need "lessons on making normal banked turns, climbs, descents, and how to operate the pressurization controller". Obviously this genious has only flown business jets his entire career, and has no idea how autopilots handle in RJ's. In the Embraer there is this thing we call the "honeywell shuffle"...anyone who has flown it knows what I'm talking about. When LNAV is selected it will bank back and forth repeatedly until it figures out which way it needs to go. Yes, the pressurization systems suck sometimes too...but we don't control it. Its all automatic. My point is, before someone goes off bashing pilots that fly an aircraft that they have never flown, perhaps they should consider that there may be more to the situation than they are aware of.

Preach on brutha!! Can I get an amen!!?

 

[I.P. Freley]

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.

Then surely you shouldn't mind people being non-PC and suggesting your wife is a pig, right? Don't be so "freaking sensitive".

 

[ERJDRVR2]

Well...

anyway....

Geez, I'm getting crapped on and I even gave them credit for finally doing the RIGHT THING....the GA.

Better late than never...

thanks guys

I am sure your FAT WIFE knew what was going on with the flight... DOUCEBAG

 

[kngarthur]

she just got home. I'll post details, flight numbers....etc, later.
I'm not scrared of those pukes.

Your a big "DOO DOO HEAD"!!!!!!!!

 

[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.

Yet another JERKOFF pipes in.......

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.

 

[Cardinal]

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
