Good Luck Striker! We're all counting on you! :D |

Of course I could be at home and chasing greenslips, but I prefer time off when the kids are off, (before they move out!) to Mo'money. As one Capt. told me years ago: The problem with GS's is, you have to show up and fly them! :eek: I'm restricted by the wife from doing a gs this week. Too many things to do on her list! I guess not a bad thing since none have gone out that I would have gotten... |

BTW, if you're paying attention, the NTSB has released a boatload of information in the three days. An awesome job actually. |

Why can't they get APUs to work like normal jet engines. The main motors don't have that start reliability:( they are only cranked twice as much but fail ten + times more.

No to distract too much from the Asiana crash or the Zimmerman trial, but is anybody else having issues with PBS? I'm trying to bid days off in August but the only calendar that is available is July.
Then I realized I need to go bid.

"they probably were" "I think......" "they must have......" "no one saw........." Keep up your statements boys. I just hope none of you heroes who are quarterbacking this accident end up on the other side of this equation someday. But it can't happen to me, right? says the innocent pilot with the little evidence released by the NTSB. |

A bit concerning considering the emails I'm getting now from the DPA on how close they are to filing. I'm afraid the DPA leadership doesn't have the maturity level to take over and run things appropriately, but ALPA keeps on helping them out. |

That was sort of foolish what ALPA put out today. All the NTSB is doing is putting out factual data without conclusions. That is standard protocol.

It certainly is. The hard data belongs to the NTSB, therefore it belongs to us. As soon as it's retrieved, it needs to be made public. Conclusions and probable cause are another matter as you state. ALPA should know this, but instead the Chairwoman had to remind them and embarrass them (us).
None of the DPA leadership after a decertification of ALPA has been elected by Delta pilots yet. So their maturity level can't be judged. Carl |
I side with ALPA (and believe me that pains me), but I give them a thumbs up. Releasing this much info this soon, without any other information is offering an incomplete picture. It's the NTSB, let them take their time. Why release little small facts out of context from the rest of the contributing factors of the accident? This hasn't happened before to the degree of how much they released information. This was a lot. All it does is cause the media to speculate even more and paint the pilots like dirt. The truth should come out in whole, not incomplete bits of pieces. What was their previous 72 hr lookback? Did they sleep onboard during their rest period? Were they fatigued? Those answers they can't give us yet because that is human performance and that takes time. By doing this, people will judge and screw the pilots before the final probable cause even comes out.
Back on subject, DALPA is running again? I hear they have close to 5500 signatures. You guys doing a vote? |
