Re: More Facebook Stuff


Ok Flyboy, what I sad above cannot be totally correct (except y chance). For how much did I miss?
I'm afraid I just don't have the credentials to address that question. Maybe ask Evan.

Re: Evanie arrogance.

Loss of autopilot and auto thrust and the fancy navigation acting up…yeah, I guess a return is in order, but an emergency?

Of couse, I have a pissy Flyover beer that says this is fake.

Re: Durnk CRJ Pilots create scrapes and paperwork.

I am an outsider, but how do we screw up like this?

flyboy:

1) Would you share insight? (Perhaps on visibility?)

2) Did you ever use the right seat on these?
Yes.

Re: We don’t trust engineers.

Japan Air Lines and All Nippon called. They want credit for the fact that they came up with something called 747-400D lots of years ago.

Hoover
Did you know Hoover used to fly the Strike Eagle? Not just Eagle but Strike Eagle?

I wonder why he got named after a vacuum cleaner? Is it because he sucks?

I don't think the fact that he is a captain on a legacy carrier "means" anything... Unless that has changed very recently, he is an F/O. Ostensibly because that allows him to hold a better schedule that can better attempt his media whoredom. At least Les Stature had the integrity to retir...

Re: Damn...

Do you people all object to him because of his bedside manner? I have never understood the hate for this guy.
He is not cosplaying as an accident investigator. He is a talking head opinions guy. So what?
He's a disgrace to the uniform. He knows it, what's more.

Re: Damn...


But please explain what would repeatedly pull you over into the same steep turn with a nice nose up input to “hold” altitude.
Cables and/or pulleys can get stuck without an autopilot's help.
