I have thousands of hours in the plane, like any plane has shortcomings but the **** I see spewed on here is no where close to the truth. Not a manly airplane just fly on profile and on speed, LOL your one of the guys that cried like a beeyatch cause CAL guys got profit sharing a few years ago even though it cost you nothing , but when we are owed something for 5 years it's a different deal..... irony huh??
I've got plenty time in the guppy. The stretch is just a longer POS. One doesn't need to have his hands on the controls to understand that artificially high approach speeds are less than ideal when flying a single bogey gear (brakes) into an airport with contaminated, short runways. Hence the sarcastic comment about hazardous duty pay.
I never "cried like a beeyatch" about the PS debacle. But since you broug tit up, what was the grievance ruling? And if it "cost me nothing" why the ruling and why the reward? And while we're at it, what did the LUAL guys tell Smisek when he told us to claw the money back from the LCAL guys? Did you lose a nickel?
