Commute Air Off Runway at ROA

[Wardogg]

Can’t top SWA 1455 / KBUR when it comes to famous last words on the CVR:

Capt: “well, there goes my career. You stupid chit.”

Holy mackerel! Gas was $1.59 in California in 2000.

My truck holds 33 gallons of gas. It used to bother me when the pump would get to three digits to top it off. I topped off the other day from almost empty and never came close to three digits.

Going around is woke

So woke.

Us Andrew Tate bros, wait, just buying some expired SARM on Parler…

“LIONS DON’T CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH STABILIZED APPROACH CRITERIA”

The real problem is that almost every unstable approach out in only one parameter does result in a safe landing, coupled with plan continuation bias, and expecting people that have hitherto bungled the management of the flight path to execute the most dynamic maneuver we normally do in an airliner (which we also very rarely do in the real airplane) and not rip the flaps off at 261 knots and 3,000' to boot.

I've done exactly one go-around at the Air Line in the actual airplane in two years in the middle of the night in Orlando. The handful of go-arounds I did at Spirit save one were all ATC-initiated (also, Tampa is going to make you maintain 1,600' (surprise!), but anyway) now that I think about it. They were more common in the EMB-120/170/CRJ days, but that's probably a function of the number of sectors flown, too. I'd say go-arounds were a quarterly or more common thing in the Brasilia days.

Speaking of charming...

What pilots who post memes like this actually look like

“PROTEIN!”

“That crew meal is GARBAGE!”

Meanwhile, wants to meet downstairs in 15m to go to B-Dubs for happy hour.

I just flew with a guy that won't eat anything but American fast food when in China. It blows my mind. There's a lot of good food here once you figure out how to pay.

Like I told a tender-belly over in Seoul.

“There are 50 million people in S. Korea who are also Homo Sapiens. I’m sure the food isn’t going to kill you and we’ll find you something”.

The next day, after taking him out for KBBQ, he said he had the best layover in his career. And that’s scary. Ha!
