Comments?

Good...

But are you sure? Her name was just on the extended coma list.

 

[RadioClash]

Did she throw her flight bag at the FAA again? Or was it another unannounced 360 on the arrival into DFW? Classic stuff.

 

[Max Q]

I think she stopped her 900 in the middle of ramp 4 to go bitch out a marshaller who had a bee swarming in his face.

 

[LazyLightnin']

Wow. She did bid back to FO. Crisis averted!


Many lives have potentially been saved today, gentlemen.

 

[McNugent]

Thank god. I was dreading flying with that nut job.

 

[wrxpilot]

Sounds interesting... Details?

 

[SennaP1]

The White Dragon? This (that) story needs deets.

 

[crj567]

The saga of the White Dragon continues......

-The "White Dragon" is a moniker which has been attached to one of our more senior Captains (who happens to be female) (who also happens to be not quite right.)

There are many stories about her hijinks and travails. Pretty legendary. My favorite involves our friendly Dragon getting into a pissing contest with an FAA inspector back in DFW. He wanted to check her charts, and she alledgedly availed him of said charts-at a high rate of speed.

The facts seem to get somewhat distorted, but he claimed that she threw her flight bag at him and hit his foot. I wasn't there, but I have it on good authority that he was so pissed that he called the cops and threatened to have her charged with assault. Nice work-Dragonfire!

-There are many other funny/scary tales of things the Dragon has done. Perhaps others will share....

 

[probablecause]

Great... I upgraded to avoid the likes of her.

 

[Tarzan]

The White Dragon always turns left at 5 minutes before the top of the hour. Instead of a Crazy Ivan, she does a Crazy Dragon.

She isn't that bad to fly with personality wise. I got along with her fine every time I've flown with her. She doesn't always make the best decisions but........

 

[COOPERVANE]

So now I have to deal with her as an FO?

 

[crj567]

It's O.K.....

If she really likes you-she will let you run your fingers through her hair. (We all know you want to.)

-Personally, I will just wait for the "White Dragon Chia" to come out... You know it is coming soon!

 

[NoJoy]

What airline does the WD work for?

 

[SLUF4]

did anyone else ever use the study guide she had?

Maybe I shoudn't say on a public forum who she works for. Hint: a large regional whose only base is in ATL.

 

[73belair]

And they are owned by Skywest, but not Skywest.

Now thats funny!

 

[73belair]

Looks like on the finals she pulled the bid.

 

[DrewBlows]

What airline does the WD work for?

ASA. If a thread goes 20 posts without mentioning an airline name and no one thinks it's unusual it's always ASA. I think this is a Flightinfo rule.

Wait, did I just break the rule because I mentioned ASA? I guess I should have said EV, because everyone knows random two letter identifiers.

 

[shamrock]

did anyone else ever use the study guide she had?

Yes, and I busted 2 pro checks because of it. That, along with the Colgan/Buffalo accident, has qualified me for additional FAA scrutiny. :erm:

 

[SLUF4]

I was going to say if anyone used that guide I hope they checked the answers really well-that thing was chock full of errors. maybe things had just changed by the time I got it.

I never used it, but I have heard ol' Dragonfire hosed it up pretty good.

-There is a new one out now, and the guy who writes it knows what he is doing.

The look on the IP's face during our new-hire checkride oral as my training partner quoted non-existent limitations was priceless...

 

[Carl_Spackler]

Alright, who's got some more stories about White Dragon, or at least one of her counter parts at other airlines?

 

[SSDD]

So, too lazy/stupid to study on your own, use someone else's notes, and then blame her for failing...Priceless!!!

:uzi:

Have any of you ever seen the old FCOM?

-For those who are un-initiated, this was the systems manual they used to give out for class. This thing was a total train-wreck! You wouldn't believe all the serious errors and crazy things which that book contained-and it was from Bombardier!

-Not to defend the Dragon, but I would be willing to bet she got ahold of one of those things and based her stuff on it.

 

[Brazilgun]

Does the white dragon has white hair and commutes from a western city? If so, I know who she is and I don't even work at ASA! Dawng......I met her on a commuter flight and will keep my comments to myself.
