Why don't ya boys wait to see what the NTSB finds out. Things may not appear as they seem. Just let the professionals do their job and tell us what really happened.

If the "professionals" did their job, nothing noteworthy would have happened in the first place.

-Dang regional scum!
 
Air traffic controllers and pilots tried for more than an hour Wednesday night to contact Cole and the flight's captain, Timothy B. Cheney, of Gig Harbor, Washington state, using radio, cell phone and data messages.

Would answering the cell phone constitute a firing offense? I wouldn't have answered!

It's not uncommon to go a half hour or so in the middle of the night without hearing a peep from a controller or other aircraft checking in, but someone usually breaks the ice by asking "still there?". Over an hour, daytime? They must not have had 121.5 tuned up, either...
 
I am guessing they are talking about the on-board cell phones that are part of the aircraft. (just a guess) We have them on some jets.
 
so, how many "bing-bongs" from ACARS from company telling them to go to a new freq did they sleep through, I mean really...

The airbus has no "bing-bong" audio indication of an ACARS message. ACARS messages are displayed by a "Company Message" line indication on the ECAM display and is totally silent. You can't hear it, so if you don't see it you will not respond it. Draw your own conclusions.
 
I hope you're being sarcastic... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are.

These guys got lucky. They could just as easily have made a smoking crater in Ontario. I don't want my wife and son flying with crews that only get them to their destination by sheer luck.

Aussiegirl:
You can't be serious in any of your posts, can you?
Look at the experience level required to get hired by NW (or any major/legacy) compared to that ******************** hole xj (or any other regional)?
The regionals are infested with inexperienced hand jobs such as yourself, and thus the congressional hearings which will lead to hiring more people with more experience than just a pulse. I guess you got lucky and squeaked in before they start requiring just a heart beat to fill a seat!

I'm not talking about NWA crews as a whole, ****-for-brains, I'm specifically talking about THIS crew on THIS flight. Anyone who can't see that they were lucky to get to MSP isn't very astute.

As for the rest of your drivel, I'm not even going to rebut it, it's just not worth my time and effort.

You have no idea my background or history, your posts in previous threads prove you're nothing but an arrogant little skidmark on the toilet bowl of the aviation industry. Nothing you say merits attention.

Your jealousy is so transparent, it's laughable!:laugh:
All that experience as an xj f/o. The FAA could use a good ****************************** like you to help fry the rest of aviation!

That's because you can't afford neither as an xj f/a!

That's not what your mom tells me after I tuck you into bed!
And after all, all that experience as a regional f/o at some bottom feeder does merit attention!:laugh:

You're on to the "I'm insulting you by giving you the illusion that I'm doing your mom" jokes now?

Your virtual captain at your virtual airline, where you obtain "Lots" of virtual type ratings must hate flying those transcons with you. :laugh:

It is best to just ignore Scope. He is just another screen name for Gen Lee. You really have to question what the hell is wrong with anoyone who deems it necessary to generate multiple screen names and run up 15,000 posts using each screen name insulting everyone who doesn't appear to work for his particular company. How the heck did this guy (supposedly) get hired at DAL?

The really lame thing about this guy is the fact that he can't even invent his own lame insults. Scope/Gen will modify an insult someone previously threw at him, lamify the heck out of it and throw it right back. The incredible part is how his insults keep getting lamer/stupider. I thought he pretty much set a new standard, then exceeded it again.

-What a pitiful little guy.

This coming from the lame ass tanker clown! Your insults and attempt at both anything intelligent or comical is as pitiful as your career as a Wendy's clerk and a bathroom sodomizer!
BTW crj, you might want to think about upping your $5 BJ price. Your upcoming furlough is gonna hit you harder than your last busted checkride!

-See What I Mean?-

-Lame-

The only question I have, Scope is:

How the hell do you sodomize a bathroom?

I mean, the whole room-sinks and all? I knew you were a freak, but your train is kinda running off the tracks here.... How do you even come up with this stuff?

-Reading your stuff is like a window into the mind of a brain-damaged pervert. Just how many times have you been dropped in your head this week?

I thought the ASAP line showed my sarcasm, but for the record I was being sarcastic.

I would think that mandating a "bing-bong" or "SEL-CALL!!!!" (at insanely loud volume, like in a CRJ) would be a better solution than most of what the FAA will probably come up with.

That's funny!!! and so true in many cases.
