Who is the biggest loser you have flown with?

This thread needs pictures of the accused.

I flew with a guy who when departing MIA and instructed by departure, "best speed when able" thought that meant to do 330 KIAS at 5,000 ft. I told him I'm not doing it and he insisted saying that's what they want. Want or not I'm not flying above 250 below 10,000ft. Little thing called FARs.

Another guy, at the same company, thought it a swell idea to shut down number 2 and 3 engines to taxi back to the gate after a failure of the number 1 engine. We were flying a 727 so yes...we taxied back to the gate on the one and only engine that had thrown a N1 blade and trashed the compressor.

Another guy, at the same company, thought a great way to re-intercept the DME arc when 2 dme inside was to establish a 30 degree bank turn towards the arc. With my jaw on the floor he looked bemused when we intercepted the arc again at a near 90 degree angle and proceeded to fly right through it.

Just a few gems from the great piloting skills found at Amerijet. If you find yourself in South Florida and hear Amerijet on the radio; pay attention!

You wouldn't believe how many guys I have flown with that have done this.

Hey Glasspilot. Was the name "Lytle"?

 

[N60OSU]

Sounds like Airnet and some of the stuff they do.

Definitely not!!!

I'll name no names. I blame the crap company and crap training that is Amerijet.

Im pretty sure ATC can wave the 250 rule under 10,000.
