Herminator retiring!
 
Saw his alpa retirement picture up in the Atl crew Lounge the other day. Never flew with the guy but heard some outrageous stories. So long jackass.

There's still yet!
I haven't flown with any of the 4 horsemen yet, but with him retiring, only one remains, right?
I flew with a capt last month I would like to nominate for chairman of that club. Apparently his file is thick, but somehow his name was not on any avoid list I have ever seen.
It's on mine now.

Just curious, how would you know if his name is on an avoid list? Call prostan on these persona extraordinaire.

I can neither confirm or deny there is an "avoid list" of MD88 captains.
Speaking of which, I need to find the person who updates it.....got a name to add to this hypothetical document

And some guys need to be taken off. I have flown with a couple on the "list" that were fine. Weird as all hell, but aren't we all?

Agree. I had a great time with one of those guys.

When I was an 88 fo I flew with some of those guys and for the most part the list is accurate. 4 that I remember that were just terrifible and Hermanator was prorbably the best of four. Maybe they were Buckle Boys four horsemen.
