New Atlas Slogan
 
Real Men land where they want to! :D:D:D

[QUOTE=Adlerdriver;1527720]Well put, Chip. I think captjns's delivery obviously rubbed folks the wrong way but his main point is valid. Throwing the crew under the bus didn't help him make it.

Well, it would make a great "tell me about a time" story at an interview haha. Good seeing you the other day, stay safe.

Chuck Norris NEVER lands at the wrong. airport. He lands wherever he wants and it simply gets renamed to the intended destination.

Pot....meet kettle.

You remind me of a guy who carries EVERYTHING about the plane and procedures on 3X5's in his shirt pocket. Has ALL the information at his fingertips and makes sure you know he does...and he has no knowledge. Terrified of hand flying above 500' (too much workload)...always descends on the FP profile...regardless of conditions or need...happy to critique if you roll on on in the box, but are 1/2 knot below Vref...and routinely drives the struts through the wings and drops masks.

So it would be best for you...and others who choose to shoot first, to as they say down South, "set your ass down" and wait until ALL the facts are out. There may well be more that plays into this that is known and has an impact on what happened.

Or, as the Indians say, "better silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt..."

How can you compare individuals to whom you’ve never flown with, let alone personally know? Again as posted before ATC, my career biographer, you are not.

That said sir, perhaps it time to regain your professional persona and cease with the unwarranted barbs. As you are not a member of the posting or thread police on this site, you also need to relax and allow other to express their opinions regardless if you agree or not.


Please read and respect these words of wisdom which you posted.


Or, as the Indians say, "better silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt...
Good day sir.

If you think, "Sure, I can totally see myself landing at the wrong airport in a modern jet, it could happen to anyone!" Then you, my friends, are just as dangerous.

It does not happen to 'anyone'.

You're wrong, Chip. It can happen to anyone one of us.
I guess we'll have to wait and see the video at the JetLag. I love all of you pious ba$tard$.
