Well, the cabin crew might take excellent care of you as your airplane goes careening off the end of the runway at 300 miles per hour.

Crew scheduling be like "You guys need a taxi? We've got another bird to load that cargo into back in ANC."

At the court marshall... "Worth it!"

If you can fog a mirror, and your record is clean for more than 6 weeks, you've got nothing to worry about right now....no kidding.

He didn't get the nickname "Chip-away-Chip" for nothing.

I wonder how much money was wasted on this...

I know a girl that used to fly that thing.

"should be invalidated". Sounds like it hasn't been yet. Press on.

I'm not convinced.

I dunno, they're still delivering more of them than anyone else. Seems to be pretty popular in the VLJ market. Cessna quit making theirs, didn't they? And Eclipse is gone?

I miss those simple days...

Oh we're not supposed to use those. These things fly themselves now.

You're probably not wrong.

Pilots aren't special, and they aren't unique. This mentality exists across all spectrums.

HAHAHAHA! So, no tape. Just open the door and throw them out?

Took this picture years ago.

At most 135 shops, duty starts when they call you. Sometimes that's 06:00, sometimes that's 19:00.

C'mon, you knew this was coming.

How did the FA let that continue for more than a few seconds?

Nah. Couldn't be locked in a hole looking at screens like that all day. I'd have tried to have been a tower controller at a sleepy class D.

Did that with cars in my teens and twenties, helped in the hangar at a 135 outfit I was flying at. Not my thing anymore. I enjoy it just enough to keep it as a hobby, but just enough. Tools no longer get thrown .

If I had to do it over again.... Own bed every night. That counts for a lot.

You failed a ride because they wanted you to do something differently? Edit: If you have hired and attorney, you need to STFU and let them do their job. Commenting on it here isn't going to help.

Yes, don't take it personal. Then don't worry. If you have proof and the regional still doesn't hire you, then you probably don't want to work there.

Grammar is important. You can't lie "on" someone, but you can lie about someone or something. They also can't send out a bad PRIA "on" you, but about you. Do you have proof that you didn't fail the ride they say you failed?

Company named after an auto maker?

It's just a job. We aren't special, and we aren't unique. I'm at the point when people ask what I do, I tell them "I work in transportation" and try as hard as I can to change the topic of conversation and not tell them I fly. I hate being introduced to someone as "hey, this is my buddy...

*knock knock knock* "Honey, there's a couple of people at the door in black suits that want to talk to you."

"what police called suspected marijuana". Really...reeaaalllly.

"Plus applicable taxes, fuel surcharge and Covid Recovery fee. Lavatory usage fee may apply on flights under one hour."

Seen a lot of people snap. Pilots aren't special, and we're not unique.

So are psychological evals going to be a part of this, conducted regularly? I bet that German Wings guy was okay, until he wasn't. We keep two people in the cockpit at all times for a reason. One of them being the security of the cockpit, from those who are already in it. The older I get the...

But they are, and it happens. Just because you haven't run across those guys at your shop doesn't mean they aren't there, or won't be at some point.

Retirement is one hell of an achievement that not everyone gets to experience for many different reasons. Congratulations Enjoy the retirement. Take it easy but keep it busy.

Waste of time and money. Those aircraft would have to be used for exclusive markets, and be the next A380. Combinations of weight/range would be the biggest hurdle/limiting factor.

Oh, I read it, all 270+ pages. Sure doesn't seem to differentiate between aviation and non-aviation instances to me. "He was fired because he likes to quote himself, and speak in the third person a lot on an internet forum." "He had to many instances of having maintenance evaluate write ups...

Again, you miss the point. The FAA is the federal AVIATION administration. Not the Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Employee Records Division.

You miss the point. I had one of my FA's and FO attacked for her pizza and him for being gay by a homeless guy in Madison walking back to the hotel after getting dinner. The only reason I wasn't arrested and subsequently fired was because the whole area is under video surveillance, and after...

It was a different time in the industry. I'm don't hold grudges for someone trying to help.

You were one of the ones who told me I should go work there.
