United Nosewheel goes *pow*

You think that’s bad, there’s guys filing for state unemployment after telling the state they were fired due to age and getting it.

Not that I doubt you, but can you provide a verifiable source?

Again, as I said with reference to Captain Ste... whatever his moniker is, as if he didn't know there was an age limit when they started this career.

My entire company union forum and Facebook groups actually giving each other advice on how to do it. Source is me cringing as I read them say “it’s my tax dollars anyway!”
 
There are only a few things that piss me off more than this.

People walking around with 100% disability, first class medical, and flying making mid six figures along with it; while someone with any number of internal ailments that started after having destroyed bunkers unknowingly containing chemical weapons and the results now killing them and medical bills bankrupting them, have their claims deemed “not service related”.

So, there I was in the Kennedy crew room, listening to a guy with a HONOR • COURAGE • COMMITMENT lanyard tell me about how he was going to be recalled to the active service because of his disability finding versus what he told the FAA…

The State of Pennsylvania allows(ed) this. A lot of USAir guys would change their base to PHL right before their retirement just to take advantage of that.
 
I really wish we had clear pictures of the wheel that went rogue. I look at the picture of the NLG and almost everything except the wheel/tire assembly is still installed. I’m not trying to point fingers and obviously this was due to a very rough landing but I’m just curious how the wheel failed.
