What's with the FBI negotiating with him? Bust the cockpit door down and LAPD his a$$.

What are"commuters"?

 

[ASA_Aviator]

What are"commuters"?

People who have to drive or fly to work. Pretty much everyone.

The place where most mainline pilots started, then bash later denying they were ever there.

haha I like that.

 

[Flyer1015]

In their defense, most major airline pilots were at "true" commuters, flying Beech 1900s, EMB 110s and 120s, Metroliners.

Not DC-9 sized RJs.

I never took offence to the term commuters when I was flying the Dash8. It is what we call (I guess "called" so now we don't hurt your feelings) the airlines that fed the major carriers. Grow up.

So what your saying is. The older the airplane the more of a "real airline pilot " you are ?

What a ridiculous statement.

I don't think so, but maybe. Back then they weren't flying "mainline" size planes for commuter wages.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Which is preferable..."commuter" or "scooter trash"? I kid! I kid!

+1. Haha.

When jumpseating as a "commuter" pilot I saw so little hand flying on "mainline" aircraft. Now that I am flying a "BIG" airplane I miss the hand flying. To accuse "commuter" pilots of not having any flying skills is ridiculous. Mainline aircraft are much more automated than any RJ. No autothrottles, no VNAV. Give me a break.
