I think I saw the dude last night. This picture doesn’t even come close. He might even be bigger then JB.

 

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you had more than one pilot that fits the description. And why does he “need” to be called out on it, on a public forum?

 

Lighten up snowflake......this is a tough occupation!

 

I'd have to evaluate the situation in person.

 

I don't know whats worse, being called a snow flake or a liberal? Them fighting words padre

 

I don't understand your resistance to this issue. There are people who for a variety of physical reasons are to large to fit into the pilot quarters. If you are, and you jam yourself in, it is unsafe.

Regarding the distain for the posting on a public forum, it doesn't matter how we found out about it so please get off that bandwagon. No names were used.

This is an important issue. If the aircraft were to stall and enter a dive, would the ill fitting pilot then be leaning on the controls? How do you plan to recover the aircraft? Just one of many examples I can think of.

Male or Female, if you cannot fit in the available space, then you cannot fly that particular model aircraft. If you were on my aircraft, I would be having you sit out of the way of the controls if at all possible. If that was not possible, I would delay the flight until a suitable replacement showed up.

We get paid the money to not just fly the aircraft but to fly it safely in all circumstances. Compromising safety as to not hurt someone's feelings is very wrong headed.

 

I'm also not following this.

I'm hearing a lot of you don't really need full travel comments.

If you feel that way then get Boeing or whoever comes up with the flight standards and checklist to change it to 80% travel or whatever "speed x deflection" formula you have.

Or get the company to sign off on not using the checklist item.

 

People like you are why I left the Republican Party.

EDIT: And I live in a swing state.

 

really? "people like him"
and you say that because you know him
I think not

 

"YOU PEOPLE"......just need to get over yourselves.
