Fun times at Skywest

During the EAS days, they had lots.

Then people would drive 3.5 hours to LAX to save $20 on airfare and the rest is history.

Sadly. Would be awesome seeing some nice narrow body thunder in Podunk USA.

What's Visalia? Isn't that something you put in your eye for moisture? Or something makes your teeth straight?

It is one of the levels of Hell.

It's that Trivago-esque guy that you would give your date a ride to his apartment after you paid for her dinner and wore your good clothes for.

I must have it confused with:

Happiness in California is V1 at SFO. And don't you dare make that a EWR joke!

 

[SurferLucas]

Maybe.... I just know this didnt help

Holy crap, I think I flew that plane at DCA...(@Derg loves DCA...)

Cargo pilots aren't in the passenger limelight. Pax pilots walk through terminals, are seen at the gate, and seen while (de)boarding, etc.

Cargo guys should be able to fly in boxers and t-shirts for all practical purposes, no one will see it.

We prefer assless chaps. Or on the 767, buck naked (16% less chaps).

I don't hold any hatred about DCA. They rectified the situation with catlike quickness when they called my hand.

What's the story here? You had to take a piss inside 45 minutes from DCA? Believe me, been there, done that! And I hated DCA for it.

I think he means Delta Connection Academy.

Ah! That makes sense. Otherwise I was gonna say it must have been well before 9/11 that GA flying was allowed at DCA (the airport).

Happiness in California is V1 at SFO. And don't you dare make that a EWR joke!

So, how do you define happiness on either SFO-EWR or EWR-SFO?

Happiness for me on SFO-EWR is V1 at SFO and Parking checklist complete at EWR.

Happiness for me at EWR-SFO is . But it's only a 2-day typically and one leg over, one back next day so it's not too bad. Pretty efficient from a TAFB standpoint.

Speed mode in the -200 is terrible and doesn't really work above 15k.

Works great, actually. Turn on TURB mode and it dampens the oscillations and works just like FLCH or PROF on a real airliner.

 

[🦈💜]

Actually, almost everyone I fly with has at LEAST a bachelor's - and I can definitely tell who doesn't -

Interesting.

"Real airliner." Pssssssssh. So judgmental.

 

[Autothrust Blue]

Yep.

FWIW, I would not have guessed that you don't have a bachelor's degree when we met. So it's not an error-proof process, but I'm pretty accurate.

 

[grkero]

I'm driving around with a varied, intensive, albeit solely undergraduate education (to which I would love to add a graduate degree, but at present ain't nobody got time), and I somewhat resent that.

LIES! Everyone knows they stuck you on the turboprop if you ain't got no edumacation.
