737 goes down off Hawaii

Im not truly offended, was joking that my airline is the proud owner of the worst legacy.
Check clears? :)

Trust me. As the recipient of a lot of internet haterade for working where I work, you know they’d trade places with you in a hot second.


Don’t forget that.

Smile when you cash that check and edge closer to widebody captain..

“but I like flying to Kansas City!”

“if that helps you sleep at night! Not judging!” :)

But we don't have a widebody fleet! Crap. Maybe I did mess up.

:p

Really more aimed at people giving “Pimping the Deuce” crap.

But overall, glad to see things improving as the first sign is usually pilot versus pilot stupidity.

“Yeah? Well WE got GE engines!”

“Trick, YOU didn’t get squat you work there and no one ordered them gave a crap about your opinion”

Any chance of an engine failing and then cutting off the wrong one? I think there was a BMI 737-400, the Motorway crash.

sounds like they lost an engine right after takeoff, and while single engine, and began to get excessive EGT on the remaining one while trying to stay airborne and bring it around for landing. If they were near max gross and if they had JT8D -5/9/11 motors, single engine performance would be tight, depending on the OAT: and any over temp of the remaining motor will degrade that even more; potentially to the point of the remaining engine merely taking them to the crash site. -15/17 motors, is less of an issue performance wise.
 
The Transair aircraft did have JT8D-9As according to the FAA registry. The -15s would have ~1000 lbs more thrust, or ~7%, which is substantial.
