Ex-UAL pilot sues United for defamation

I don’t know why these idiotic videos from a number of nitwits who happen to be at an airline, jam up my FB reels feed.
 
My IG video would be fire :

Clip 1- Hotel door flying open to the room, me sprinting to the bathroom to blow it up.

Clip 2- Frogger level 8 car dodging to the nearest Applebees for the two meal deal.

Clip 3- re entering my hotel room to get hit by the stench of my previous actions in clip one. Then realizing I don’t have a fridge to put my 2nd meal in.

Clip 3- Trying to fall asleep but the neighbors next door are enjoying themselves loudly.

Clip 4- hooouussrkeeeping…. “Shut the Door I’m in here!”

Clip 5- grabbing a free coffee downstairs, to realize my key card no longer works trying to enter my room

Clip 6- In the lobby waiting for the van, looking down realizing I still have white socks on with my uniform… *snaps fingers for drama*. Black socks magically appear. Followed by crew scheduling notification to let me know I’ve been extended.

Clip 7- Me in the back of the van while Patsy and Stacey complain about the woes of being a flight attendant all 22 minutes en route to the airport…

—Just 100k and this life could be all you—


It will go viral, I’ll make millions and retire this time next year.

I've found that if you're even a little bit off perfectly straight at touchdown, the thing's going to swerve and sway a bit while it settles down. It's easier to land than the -400, I think, which, you'd think everything would be fine followed by "blammo!"

This is completely irrelevant to this topic, and isn't even related to the 767. But I remember landing in LAS a couple years ago when I was pretty new, and it was the typical gusty mild crosswind. I touch down a little off centerline, and the thing does just what you are describing here. As we shut down at the gate, I asked if he had any tips/tricks/things I could improve on. He just said, "yeah, I think you can probably start using those rudder pedals and that will fix the landings". That tip hasn't made every one of my landings a greaser, but even my hard ones are always on centerline now :) I kid, but the tiny difference was just consciously feeding in enough rudder to straighten the nose right before we touch down. Obviously in a stiff pure crosswind, the half kick out is probably needed to control drift, but I am really a much bigger fan of not letting the thing do the wobble wobble trying to straighten out.

I know “of” a guy who ran off the runway in the snow, a firing and being sued by a regional who ended up at a top three airline (not mine).

Well I stand corrected. I’d be interested in knowing the hiring year.

Also quite the slap in the face to all those TBNTs pilots that don’t have quite the same exciting of a past.

Airline hiring is wonky.

Honestly. I’m not sure why this surprises me. I was furloughed because the company that landed between the runway and taxiway in 2019 and was the closest the 121 works has come to a fatal accident in 10 years outbid our contract to United who then gave them two thumbs up. Shrugs.

As long as it wasn’t us, I couldn’t care less nor is it anything more than “Whew! We dodged THAT bullet!” :)

Pilot hiring, in general, is crazy. Just wait until the industries move toward “Talent Acquisition” catches-on full steam. Thankfully, my airline hasn’t fallen into that trap.
 
Well I know one of these guys is at a big 3 legacy carrier now. Time and hard work can wipe away a lot of sins.

Career dissipation light illuminated.

And for the record I’m a believer in redemption for those that put in the time and hard work to overcome mistakes or poor decisions of youth. The world, in my opinion is better with less homogeneous drones and more people with real stories of life and consequences.

Yeah, no thanks. It’s people like this that end up trying BS like joining the 410 club annd end up putting a jet into houses.

Indiscretions of youth? This ain’t a teenager on some drunk rowdy spring break. This is an ATP-certificated Captain at his last trip at a major 135 operator.


These people ought to never be allowed to touch a jet again. Sorry? Not sorry. Not after Pinnacle 410 club, Colgan, and Atlas. In the industry, we need to stop fearing - and actively encourage and enforce - the “you just ain’t cut for this gig” and force the walk…

Oof. Did they run out of RJ pilots who haven’t gone off roading?








Narrator: They didn’t. And just another reason why the whole process is BS.
