Turkish Airlines Landing Incident

[FlyingScot]

Anywhere in the US, there'd be a squad of attorneys parachuting in with neck braces to put on.

You see this as a problem in our legal system, I see this as job opportunity for jump pilots.

Like "Elevator" tiger teams! Woo!

I'm in my 40's, I'm shocked that I'm even able to communicate with most of you guys! Ha!

Derg, the 90's called a few minutes ago . . . they want you to use AOL chat rooms and search the Internet via WebCrawler again

You have to go back to compuserve to get his attention.

Videos out of the landing, mmm offroading, from inside the cabin:

Sorry, whenever I hear about Istanbul, I start thinking about this song:



Richman

Shouldn't those pax be looking for instructions from an authority figure in a captain's uniform rather than walking meandering in different directions?

Yes.

That's why we wear uniforms instead of khakis and golf shirts, but that's an unpopular opinion in some parts.

Off how the ECAM warning is still blaring when whoever gets on the pA.

The Napoleon outfit if far too subdued. Those people are in shock. They need someone in a flight suit to rally around.

 

[gne in prog]

maybe they had a credibility problem after that landing.

at about 5:15 in video #2, is that the crew standing around with their bags?

Yes.

Or why you should have a Captain's beard. The beard will direct people.

If it works, it works.

I don't know, perhaps it's a generational thing. I think authority should look like authority and not some childrens museum exhibitor.

You damned right, son.

Besides, business casual is so 1990's "Teletubby" generation.

It does! Thank you!

 

[z987k]

It does! Thank you!

The uniform is well worn, but it's the face and the confidence. Even if that confidence ran into an iceberg.

I have the feeling I'll probably have to give you the "hat chat", amarite?

Hmm, don't think so. I support the uniform, I'm just trying to gather support for the beard. Because Captains have beards™.
