737 goes down off Hawaii

And 99% of what you post lately, it seems.

Given the choice, I’d much rather share a cockpit for a four day with @Cherokee_Cruiser than with some pedant who gets off on arguing the difference between limitations and restrictions on a thread about a crash when you know damned well what he was referencing and asking. You’re just acting like an ass.

Two of the JC members who I have some of the most respect for as pilots, and as people, both arguing in this thread endlessly with CC over meh things. Not because they are dicks or bad people, but because that's what you do on JC now. I kind of usually don't have any issues with what CC is saying either, by the way. Well the type rating thing, that's kinda silly to admit on a public forum, but I can't imagine it's an isolated occurrence. Props to him for at least being honest with us all the time, and not scared to self incriminate; not as entertaining as jumpseating on reserve, but a whole bunch more genuine.

Oh and when they're not posting against CC, they are some of the few members who still answer real questions, intelligently, thought out, mentor-style.

Meh.

Good thing the Shorts land on the 4s. Would have been a righteous mess if they skidded down the 8s.

I shut down 8L for over an hour a couple years ago on the day before thanksgiving. The 4s were closed for construction. Captain landed and ATC told us to vacate left. He pushed on the tiller, it didn’t move. Tried to turn right, tiller fell 90 degrees and the plane kept rolling straight. So we stopped, plane full of troops, and waited for our ops to figure out where to borrow a tug from. I’m sure we were popular.

No tiller on the FO side?

I sympathize. Had a couple moments like that myself.

We lease a gate from a competitor at an airport they, erm, "dominate". Every action on their part lets us know that our presence is unwanted.

One day, we get a system fault and we need to get pulled back into the gate. Holy cow, did they turn into grumpuses. I'm like "hey man, we're working through the problem, and the longer you pester me, the longer it's going to take to solve". They were in the process of delamination when we fixed the problem and were ready to go.
 
Those moments always crack me up in hindsight.

Back in the final glorious days of 135 check hauling when I was based in BHM we had a run that went through ATL every night around 9ish pm(I don’t remember the exact time) just that it was still busy there. Being that our facility was at the Mercury FBO on the north side we would use 8R/26L, make the turn at Dixie and straight in. Also know that BHM was a MX facility for us and while generally we had the oldest and crappiest airplanes, during the summer they would rotate the northern fleet down for inspections. The ”newer” Barons had amongst other goodies, heavy duty brakes.

So all that being said one night my roommate is flying into ATL in one of these newer rides, and being the good Starchecker he stays one dot high and one dot upwind while keeping up with all the jet traffic. Maybe he was a touch fast when he landed, I’ll never know, but when he got on the brakes to make the turn at Dixie he blew a tire right at the intersection of 8R and Dixie resulting in him getting stuck there. Closed the runway for two hours while they searched for equipment small enough to get under the thing and drag it off to the ramp.

I asked how that went with the locals down there and his answer was pretty much that if they could have dragged him over to the sewer and bury him they would have.
