Hell, they just make it up as they go. I know this is going to sound strange, but I wanted to go through security the other day (I had just gone out for a smoke on a turn, and had no bags to scan). Where I was at, is like a 5 minute process for KCM to get into place, and get it all done...

Don't worry about what the DPE is doing. If you've lost control, you've lost control, and do what it takes to get it back.

It's not my habit, but people who start radio calls with "AAaannnnnDDD". It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I almost totally agree. I've sat the jumpseat up front, and I'd get over the yoke for a cockpit that quiet and automated. But yeah, DITCH THE YOKE BOEING!!!!

But you're different, right?

And the majority of the time, it's more "meh".

OH MY GAWD! LET'S ALL BE OUTRAGED!

Don't ever ever do that again. That place is full of a bunch of disgruntled blowhards. Oh, and the answer to this question will be vastly different in less than 5 years.

Nice job sticking to your decision.

WITH A YOKE!!!

If it ever gets to the point where I'd have to go fly aaaannnnyyyyyttttthhhhhhiiiing other than 121, I'll probably get out of flying. Sure, the flying usually isn't as exotic, but the QOL is unmatched IME. When the phone rings, and I'm at home on my day off, I swipe left and giggle.

GET RID OF THE YOKES BOEING!!!!

All those cellphones, and no one got a damn video?

That's all fine and we'll, and while you may be correct, as soon as that camera comes out, your help just ended.

Hahahahahaha!

about this and had this agents back. Something along the lines of "Our agents are sick of being recorded when entitled passengers who, of fault of their own, don't get their way, antagonizing our employees, then only record the part where our employee has finally lost their patience."...

I think I know who that is.

How is this not cruelty to animals? She flushed an animal that will drown, down the toilet. If this is our future as a country, we're screwed.

Not really typical, but common.

I'm a big fan, but only the pertinent parts.

I know that that's a tongue in cheek comment. Most shops, if you break it in the sim, things won't work out well in the end.

Just put the thing on the ground and don't break it, especially in the sim. You'll learn everything else out on the line.

Seems to have worked out well for this guy. http://abc7.com/small-plane-lands-in-lanes-of-nb-55-fwy-in-costa-mesa/3001206/

No link?

I've often thought of what I could claim to bring my dog with me on trips. Problem is, every excuse I can come up with, excludes me from a medical.

Yeah, that thing will be written off here, taken back to Mexico on a ferry permit, and end up being magically fixed somehow. What a shame to see an old dog like that get taken out by some nonsense.

I fully admit that my delivery isn't always clear.

I'm sorry, in the future, I will send all my posts to you, so we can have a lengthy discussion about grammar, intent, and spelling. Or, you could ask "what do you mean by that". Some people understood what I was getting at. Others assumed I was on some kind of _____'ist rant. Are you going...

Hopefully it was, and they got it all on camera.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Most of them are only there to get a job, not to support the cause.

That's pretty much what I've been trying to say.

When you get any gender/race together in large numbers, that problem exists.

What else? Because it isn't exclusive to aviation. I've been in a few, and one was for almost ten years. Aviation is very mild.

I'm guessing this is the only industry you've ever worked in?

See, now that's something I could get behind.

Who said I'm bitter? I look at it like if you aren't a member, you're just using them. You either support their cause, or you don't. "Hey Derg, I listed you as a reference on my application, without asking first. That's okay, right?" You don't have to see it that way, but that's how I do.

Nope.

You would, most wouldn't, but show up under the guise that they actually care.

The post says "IMO".

No, see what @jweldon said. If you want to be a member of any of those organizations, then yes. But I'd reason to bet that better than 90% of them don't give a damn about what they stand for, and are "just using their services".
