Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Now THAT's why I like to catch up on what bids I'm forgetting to do, here on APC! Sure I can hope I get a text to bid, on some things, but it just doesn't have the same verve!

I'd love to see Jesse back. His transgression couldn't have been that bad.

Okay... So I'm "appreciating the quality of this post" when my girlfriend comes over with a cocktail, sees the photo and announces "That's a bottle of Patron".

I busted out laughing. Who the **ck cares what the bottle is?

You and Jesse seem to have very similar tastes and posting styles.

I WONDER why? :D

As a "retired" ATR pilot, the plane carries ice as well as any other turboprop. Roselawn was caused by the Captain's absence. He was occupied in the "forward bedroom". The FO cancelled the aileron trim AP warning dozens of times in the Captain's absence. The signs were there to prevent the crash, just nobody was there to see them.

80 and Johnso thanks. When the last one was born I bid for the week off right around his due date and got it (had to because I was with the company less than a year). He came a bit early and the Duty officer hooked me up with a ride home and dropped the rest of my rotation. I'm gonna try that again this time with the X days. With an 80 hour guarantee don't want to miss out on the bread.

Just for info icing had nothing to do with the Colgan accident. You can read the transcripts on the NTSB website. So many mistakes you can hardly count them all but the basics were they pulled the props to fine pitch and throttles to idle to slow down. Never pushed the power up and got the stick pusher. Captain over powered the pusher and the copilot decided to raise the flaps. The result we all know.

Sailing is right. Unless a pilot is familiar with the drag created by props flat to the wind it is nearly unbelievable how quickly the airplane can slow down and go down. The pilots lost the airplane because they could not handle reconfiguring it.

Razorback also makes a good point. Wasn't the prop brake just the coolest thing?

Interesting factoid ... the Concorde used rubber de-ice boots :)
