Accident

[amorris311]

It's a new term to me, actually. I'm trying to figure out if they are talking about gourmet cupcakes, or grocery store ones in a plastic container?

What about the ones filled with ice cream in the center?

There used to be a place by pier ave but they closed. Only one I knew of.

I'm fairly certain everybody knew what you meant. It was more about how you phrased it and how it came off sounding like you, as a captain, had never made a mistake that an FO bailed you out of. I'm sure that's not what you meant as pretty much every captain has that happen regularly. Part of being on a crew.

He's made some pretty similar statements in the past so...yeah...the reaction is what it is...

Dove tailing on what some others have said.

I have 8+ year FOs sitting next to me who have been raising the landing gear for DAL for the entire time, showing loyalty by not ditching their current airline. Due to bad luck they are still FOs, but I will be honest. SouthJet would be better off hiring them over me.
Meanwhile I've jumpseated on regionals which will remain nameless where the fast upgrade captains have class dates. Watching these "kids" operate I was horrified at the thought of paying pax being in the back, yet these pilots got the call before my FOs as they had the PIC turbine time. They were clueless, but hey. They checked he box.

Can't get one by you.
I guess I need to remind myself that I am dealing with the cupcake generation.

So now you are putting down other generations? Does that make you feel better about yourself and inflate your confidence? Or just using that as a coping mechanism?

 

[Seggy]

You must be one of them millennials they keep talking about.

See above.

Alright guys. Remember when an Avro RJ85 crashed and we were talking about that?

Man, the internet is sensitive tonight.

if by sensitive you mean dropping truth bombs and calling a spade a spade....sure, that.

Do you need a safe space?

and when did the army become so soft? Geeze, you are making us look good.

I'd like to say we are immune to it here, but based upon the emphasis on fuel at my last AQP I'd say that isn't the case. I've also had a few instances where FO's tried to put me into fuel critical situations.

Let me guess it's that damn SUPER CRITICAL WING again?

TF is going on here?

I hear Home goods is a safe place.

In case it has not been brought up, the Captain was a co-owner of the company. Also, they were supposed to make a fuel stop in Cobija, Bolivia, but never did, supposedly because they departed late and there were no night time services at their fuel stop airport.

 

[MikeD]

Just listened to the ATC for the approach. Very sad to listen to. TWO aircraft that have fuel emergencies at the same time, this one on hold and the airport is running a runway inspection? What the .....?

Can happen. Seen it myself. Albeit not with transport category aircraft and pretty darn rare, but the exact thing you wrote here, I've seen firsthand.

Sometimes, crap combines to make even the best laid plans, go straight to hell. Not necessarily related to this accident, but talking in general.

If what you say is true, it makes me very angry. Not incompetence or negligence, just greed. I hate aviation sometimes, and this is one.

I need to retract my "like" of your post. They don't appear to carry Dyson.
