Yep, that's it. I have it saved from years ago but User 912 never responded to my PM request in post #6. When I first read it years ago it struck a nerve with me. In the mid/late 80's I was at a "commuter" (as they were called then) trying hard to get the big major job. I was a Capt on the...
I was flying with a crusty Capt. years ago who told me a story of when Delta first started flying over the pond (At the end of the era where the only flag carriers were Pan Am and TWA). This Capt. swore this was true: The Delta was being yelled at for starting the crossing without a oceanic...
Yes! Most of the time. Look at post #87: >> We mitigate risks in our business, we cannot always eliminate them, lest you'll never leave the gate.<<
To expand on my post #88: The F/A's recurrent training will have some additional stuff. My guesses: While in the cockpit you will notice the...
Spaulding, that is a good analysis, pretty much how I look at it. The post 9/11 door system is well designed and I don't think they should mess with it. ALL the carriers should adopt the "always two in the cockpit" rule and be done with it. At the Flt. Attn recurrent training they'll have a...
The narrator of that video for the Travel Ch kept saying "The Captain and Flight Engineer." He never mentioned the First Officer. I think he forgot or didn't know this was a 3 person airplane.
I was the Capt on a MD-80 L/O in Toronto, 2006 I think. Short L/O (12 hours) so we just want to get to the hotel. All of us, except one, are done and waiting. One male F/A was "stuck" back in customs. After a few minutes I went back to find out what the holdup was. Turns out he had a DUI in...
That's a pretty good guess. Close to what I am thinking. And to anybody all upset about speculating, it's getting to the point if they don't find more than a few scraps floating, that there will have to be some guessing on what happened so we can TRY to learn something from all this. Remember...
Now a legal mess! The coroner said she died when the trucks hit her. The city said she didn't have her seat belt buckled and she died hitting the ground!
