Pilot's arm detaches during landing...

[Inverted]

He will have a hard time holding short now.... WOMP WOMP.

We're going to need to stop all of these arm jokes.
















Maybe something like an armistice.

 

[genot]

I have to hand it to everyone. They came out swinging with their best jokes. I may be going out on a limb, but most of them cracked me up. I post this secure in the knowledge that many of you have separated from reality.

The real question is were the TOGA throttles armed?

Makes my Class 1 SODA/MFT seem routine @myflightsurgeon

 

[CaptBill]

Hey, hold everything... well, are least hold what you can.

Alright, I'm leaving ...

 

[n57flyguy]

Pilots should be unarmed in the cockpit.

Arm I wrong or did he just the FO just land the plane himself?

Armend the medical procedure for prosthetic limbs.

...Just gonna nudge out this crack in the door thanks...

 

[milleR]

Sounds like he had the upper hand in this situation. Nice work strong-arming things to a successful outcome. Looks like he single-handedly resolved a difficult situation.

 

[knot4u]

Wow

 

[Radu38J]

Must have been a heavy handed landing. Sure is handy to have a copilot with you for such instances. Unfortunately, training good pilots costs an arm and a leg, like the case at hand demonstrates...

 

[tonyw]

When they say that flight training costs an arm and a leg, they're only partially kidding.

 

[gotWXdagain]

At this point I feel like more people have seen themselves out than are left in this establishment

 

[ItsAFunZone]

Must have had ARMy training

 

[ghoster]

it's ok, "no arm, no foul".

i'm late to the party, that's all I got.

Would any of you make these comments if this pilot was in the room?

Yes. I would also hope he had a good sense of humor about it. I hear he has a mean right hook....

 

[Joshwa]

Actually a left hook in this case

I know some guys at Flybe who all say the gentleman in question is a top chap and tells similar jokes himself.

Would people who make certain comments about everyone from politicians to celebrities to, say, George Zimmerman or even their spouse do so if they were in the room? Probably not, but it happens.

But to answer your question, if I knew the guy and we shared the same sense of humor then I would in a minute. Like my good friend who had a colectomy, and to whom I said afterward, "How's it feel to now have a semicolon?"

And, yes, you thought that was riotously funny and couldn't quit laughing for several minutes.

Is there a way to NOT LIKE a post?

I'm sure he's heard them all. And yes, I would expect that he would groan and shake his head at them just like everyone else did.

Devils Advocate: How can you be so sure of his opinion. I understand if you know the guy and his sense of humor. But imagine that this thread is a crew room, he's fairly new and hyper-sensitive about his disability. This is a public portion of this board, and for all you know he read all these posts and laughed it off or he didn't.
