So your attempting to build credibility with this cheap shot that also is baseless assumption ?

I'm afraid you're bunking with big bird now.

Wrong again! One would think at some point after repeatedly being proven wrong you'd go crawl back under your rock. Clearly you don't have the good sense to do so.

If you spent 30 seconds looking at my profile (which I filled out, unlike you there super-spook), you could have figured out that I don't fit the demographic you've described. I've been doing this professionally for over 25 years. When I graduated from college you needed 2000-3000 hours to be considered at a regional (which was then referred to as a commuter). I busted my butt chasing and capitalizing on opportunities, and accumulated over 400 hours of turbojet and turboprop time while in school and a couple of years afterwards. I was fortunate and got into a 135 jet job with around 2000 hours, my ATP, a type rating, and my A&P rating.

Since then, I've operated passenger and cargo turbojet aircraft both domestically and internationally under 91, 135, and 121, including thousands of hours of widebody time. I've been in and out of many of the places you read about on the cover of the newspaper when it comes to the world's trouble spots.

Ego - no not really, but I am proud of where I've been and what I've done; and I do resent some wise-guy know-it-all who in reality clearly doesn't know a quarter of what he thinks he does.

Like I said - why don't you be quiet and let the adults talk now; you're just making yourself look silly.

Wow ! Yes you could say that !

You have to wonder what happened to the original poster. He pulled the pin, lobbed the grenade into the room, then disappeared. 16 pages later, the thread topic has changed about 5 times and it is unclear what everyone is even arguing about. Universal pilot checklist -

Gear - UP
Flaps - UP
Start *****in'

"Climb checklist complete"

That's too bad because I was going to ask him the all important question of what he would do if he was in the same position as the AA pilots.
Good luck to you folks over there and hopefully things get worked out.

Hey Turbine... Ever wonder why there is never enough o2 or the j/s is broken on any of the aircraft you are trying to jump on? You sure sound like a classy guy and someone who is a joy to be around.
