Well, I'm all fairness, the N1 fan IS just a big propeller. But I doubt the average Fox News viewer knows that.

Whoever criticized me for saying the reporting about declaring a fuel emergency was still bad journalism, I say to you, suck it!

This is what normal, bad journalism looks like:

"One woman said she saw sparking near the left wing of the plane, possibly from the propeller."

Listening to the video it sounds like compressor stalls, obviously from the propellers.

Not aeronautically sohpistated, but they provide some much needed video perspective that speaks volumes. I’m glad to see the passengers are ignoring g4s ban on personal electronics under 10. Good job to whomever made that video as they most undoubtedly soiled themselves in the process. Makes marginalizing our complaints to g4 management much more difficult.

A significant amount of non mainstream news sources that have very little creditability migrate into more respected networks. It’s the questions that are often more important that the total facts or lack of. In our case agencies such as the faa are political bureaucrats who wont do anything until a high enough level of public out cry. Were the facts complete and 100 percent accurate for ‘Bingo’ badn, nope. Is an n1 stage fan a propeller, nope. The publicity for what our union keeps complaining about to g4 management is what matters. G4 management will ignore us all day, because they have no respect for pilots or unions.

Let's not lose sight. AAY management is absolutely ruining this company. Short term?...stock wins, shares pay. Long term; GB is a symbol of management practices and procedures at AAY. He has violated FAA regulation via a fuel emergency (whether it was low fuel, or a declaration of low fuel as a falsehood). The immediate push needed is for GB to be removed as VP. If he wants to be a line pilot; so be it; fly the line where his seniority lies. ( did I just say lies? Kind of ironic). No credibility in management. GB must be removed from a policy making position.

Well let's see if there's any announcement today about that. I would hope that he sends in his resignation this week.

Looks like another engine failure.
