FAA Dumps Donald Trump, Calls For 'Non-Controversial' Navigation Codes

Things happen fast these days. Looks like a Jepp revision coming.

The Feds introduced this procedure to mock him when he was flying his 727 out of PBI and complaining about jet noise over his house. Oh the irony. This departure is reportedly being changed because flight crews are refusing to accept it in light of his recent comments about Mexico.

Now that's pathetic. Refuse to accept the procedure? Ok, then taxi to the penalty box, and we'll get around to you when we can work out a routing in and amongst everyone else.

I wonder if I say something controversial then DFW will drop the ZACHH 1 that pretty much goes over my house.

Oh no that's right; I'm a nobody.

So if these nav codes are associated with celebrities or big names...who got the crazy women in Wyoming? TITTY in FL?

That's what I've heard from the locals. Personally I'll take whatever departure gets me moving and on the way.

The political-correctness of this world is getting a bit ridiculous.

What's next, are people going to figure out a way to be offended by the FRDMM 3 arrival into DCA? I mean, I like brisket better than ribs, so I'm not sure I'm going to fly the ILS 1R into MCI anymore.

 

[SlumTodd_Millionaire]

It's not political correctness to not want your navigation aids named after a blatant racist.

 

[gne in prog]

Seems like it would have more to do with trump's lawsuit against the Faa than with pilots refusing a procedure.

HA you kids, well the best politically incorrect arrival procedure is when the arrival to JFK routing changed from SAX V36 ELLIS to the Stiff 1 Arrival, oh yea we had a lot of fun with that one.

 

[CFI A&P]

I think @ATN_Pilot hit it. They weren't established to embrace him, and certainly can't leave them up now.

Change the names, or don't change them. I could go either way. Now refusing to fly a procedure because of the names of the fixes is a level of butthurt that is mind blowing.

Under no circumstances will I ever accept the HOKEE TWO Departure out of ROA. I'll sit there all day. It offends me greatly. Are you with me @Seggy? I know you don't fly there but you never know.

I'll gladly accept the CAVLR TWO Arrival into IAD however.

 

[turbojet28]

ATN, I'm not condoning the guy's comments. Mostly just trying to give a hard time to the pilots who refused to fly the procedure.

Pilots being immature little brats?! No way! This profession has people in both extremes, they are either the coolest people you ever meet or the lamest with almost no in between.

wrong.

It's at the level of complete candyass. Its so pathetic. Send their dumb asses to the penalty box.

Don't blame you one bit.
