This reminds me of a dream I had a while back!
....
I'm landing the Space Shuttle. It's a really nice approach.
Then, I hear on frequency,
"Shuttle Endeavor, turn right heading 090....
..... we're putting Southwest in front of you..."
:yup:

22 posts and not a single Houston we have a problem joke? Sheesh. That is weak fellas.
I think the only thing that could be done is to pucker up. They drop the gear seconds prior to touchdown so there isn't much time for anything. Ceramic tiles probably skid fairly well too.

Actually the Houston joke ties in with Southwest.
It's usually where I get turned out so they can go in front of us.

Yes actually, it is a self-launch glider.
The SpaceShipOne guys all had to go get a glider license before they could fly into space. :laff:
Totally random, but isn't there at least one former Shuttle Commander at SWA?Actually the Houston joke ties in with Southwest.

And as I've said before on this forum, anyone who wishes to visit Johnson Space Center, for Jetcareer members, the invitation is open!
Man, I've got to remember that! I've been in Houston a couple times in the last year and a Space Center tour would have been the cat's meow!
Well, make sure to put it on your agenda for next time.
SWA? My recollection is they have/had two. Kevin Kriegel and Hoot Gibson are/were employed with them. Haven't checked lately.
Last time I saw Kevin was at Home Depot, but I never asked if he was still with SWA.

Do shuttle pilots get priority over others? Are minimums not applied or type ratings not required? Or do they go from flying the shuttle to working a regional or buy a 737 type to get on with SWA?

No 3 green and NASA Management take the G5 to D.C. for a bailout...

Useually they have plenty of millitary jet time, and therfore can bypass the regionals.
However they still start at the bottom of the senoirity list.

I'm not all that sure. I think there may be.
It'd be too funny if that were the case.

Eileen Collins is a DL wife
"So what's your wife do"
"Oh, she flies too"
"She on a trip?"
"Yeah, it's a 2 week trip"
"Oh man, that's a long trip, where's she go?"
"The space station"
:laff:
Wonder who wears the pants in that relationship...
