Is JR from Sunny their DO still?

No he’s gone back to his original position in safety.

Not sure if anyone can answer. For new hires going to AEX or BRO after training. Where do you plan on staying since there’s no crash pads available at either cities. I live in CLT and I’d obviously commute. I’m just worried about day trips and not having no where to stay but a hotel, and hotels add up.

Creativity. In HRL one of the FOs has an apartment he rents out as a crashpad.

Aex, some guys drove their trailers and live in them, some found rooms to rent, some do hotels. Until you know where you’re going you can always ask the pilots there about what they’re doing.

rent an apartment with others.

you and I both know and have been told by southwest that they will never let swift pilots into that program. SWA was quoted “ if we wanted swift pilots then we would have hired them” They basically USE swift to train their future pilots that they tell us we have to hire

Actually they have hired quite a few, so that info is not factual.

On the last round they selected 3 out of 5 swift pilots to go through the process through a special window it’s part of the 225 agreement.

Outside of 225 they are still hiring swift pilots. Not to mention a big chunk that has left to the majors in the last 3-4 months.

It’s a mutual use program, swift gets personnel to fly and give them experience and when ready they move up. The personnel they have picked are awesome pilots and really good people. Whether in the program or not they would be gone to a major before you knew it.

And they went off the runway in Idaho,

If flown on target with no float, 6,000’ is OK on a wet runway. Although, RWY 12 with 2,400’ more LDA is good insurance. No significant NOTAMs noted.

Yes poor runway choice, from what I understand the landing distance was over 6000 and the 6003 is from the start of the runway not the 1000 foot markers, so in reality they had 5000 feet. Wet probably standing water from a thunderstorm passing

Mr. Boeing defines landing distance as follows:

Adjustments are made for slope, wind, weight etc. Info is contained in the FCOM for deviations from standard paths and speeds.

”Mr. Boeing” also said the MAX was a safe airplane. He’s a shifty SOB, I don’t know if I’d take him at his word.

38 years on 737 as it morphed from the -100 through the MAX-9 and future -10, with magical STCs, I’d take Boeing at their word when it comes to landing performance… just saying.

And that's the factored landing distance as well. So if the book says 5990ft, in reality you use a lot less.

Landing distance at 121 ops is calculated touching down 1500' past the threshold to account for the 50' obstacle, and also includes the FAA factored distance percentage from AC91-79A which on a wet runway makes the landing distance close to 200% of what is actually needed. So landing on the 6,000 foot runway was probably doable, but like others have said, still not a great idea.

No defense for a bad runway choice made soley due to a 15kt crosswind. Boeing Shmoeing.

It would be nice to see what the data says. 6000ft is plenty to stop a 737.

Evidently not.............

Hmmmm too much attention in a short span of time

absolutely no problem stopping in 6k' the issue is pilot technique.

Y’all didn’t try to kill Hannah Montana now did you?!

Her plane was hit by lightning while sliding off the end of a runway with a tire missing

At Swift?
