When the whole SJC night visual thing went down, ABQ was still landing 26 without an RNAV visual which I found humorous. |
Ah, another night visual banned and another file about landing with the wrong flap setting. 5% of guys at this airline are once again ruining it for the rest of us.
And to those 5%, please behave like adults while at work. |

I don't necessarily disagree, but humans also make mistakes. And I'm not sure how things are "ruined" for you because of actions taken to promote safety... did you really WANT to be flying a tight night visual in the mountains in ABQ? What's the harm on insisting for the rnav visual... maybe it seems crazy but it's good that something that should have never been allowed in the first place, is actually banned now, properly in my opinion. Also, it's pretty normal to make mistakes and sometimes @*&t happens after a 11 hr 5 leg day, we've all been there... File your ASAP, move on with your life. There's two sides to every story and I withhold judgement without knowing the other side... you're very quick to judge your fellow pilots, but I'm sure you've done plenty of dumb stuff in the airplane too. Slow down and use the damn checklist... musta been go home leg on that flap setting one.
Week, try not to be so narrow minded, expect better from you. |
So....as I've said... First winter in MSP and up till now its been a breeze. Little snow and temps as high as 40s. I was starting to feel like a real local.... "think we'll get a brown Christmas this year?" I would ask..
I would tell people.. Ah mini ain't so bad, you just gotta be a little tougher than folks out west. They are used to nice weather with their board shorts and fancy bikes, going around to little boutique shops and eating avocado toast. They couldn't handle what we deal with in msp. I even started telling my wife that I was from mini All this to say, so apparently there are wind chill advisories for temps like below what you would have on Mars.. Now I feel like I got no shot.. I literally might die.. Someone might find me on the side of the road between the holiday inn and the gas station around the corner.. I already miss California. Avocado toast, anyone? BLS |

Bobby. Have the fire hydrants started fighting over the passing dogs yet?

That Caribou coffee up there will put enough hair on your chest to keep you insulated for at least twelve hours. Works for men and ladies alike.

Do they still have the “Depth Charge” at Caribou? Drip coffee topped with 2 or 4 espresso shots if I recall.
