Yeah, pilot writes up one of the engines as running rough but doesn't know which one. Thats only like 20 hours of maintenance to narrow it down to which spark plug. :D

Oh.

But does that mean I have to hand my DC-7 keys... I mean our DC-7... to 80?

Or Ferd? Or New? Or 80, New and Ferd?!?

I'd miss all the fun.

I'm not doing that Red Bulls DC-6 justice here, some of the pics I could post show it shinned to a near mirror reflection. $$$$$$

I nominate ACL for Connect the Dots Czar.

Can't believe FOX had to throw us to the dogs with the Amsterdam drunk pilot deal. I guess Buzz does not have any pull there. Anyway he was not over the US limit. Real bummer.:mad:

The modern news media will say whatever they have to say to push a story whether right or wrong.

Truly the drive-by media.

But you'd like to see somebody be better than that. If this was O'Reilly, even as a big FNC fan, I'd say ignore him. Their day morning to mid day crews are better than their prime time crew minus Gretta who actually does a good job.

The problem is you have to explain the situation, kind of like the TWY M incident. The key is for pilots is to professionally ignore it. I haven't flown the line since the AMS incident but it makes me wonder if were not going to be back into the situations we talked about months ago about the "are you drunk?" jokes that may require delaying the flight while we get tested. :rolleyes:

And I would like to nominate NewK for New Hire Czar.

"IF ANYONE IN THIS CLASS MENTIONS THE WORD, VNAV,..."

I was lucky enough to get a private tour of that airplane while in Salzburg - it's an amazing piece of work. Completely restored inside and out and probably better than new. The attention to detail throughout was stunning. As sweet at it looks on the outside, its even nicer inside.

And like FTB said, they keep it polished to a T. It had flown the day prior to my visit and there was a mechanic on a ladder cleaning the exhaust soot off an engine cowl with a hand towel and a spray bottle.

I'm coming on the side door on this one, but if what CE says.. is true... I think maybe we need a new contract language guy. Are we really discussing whether a company is a "holding company" and doing said flying or an "air carrier" and doing said flying? Really? Lawyers... they ALL suck. And that seems to be a pretty big loophole that even I could run thru with a weak Offensive Line...

Go to hell gators!

Gramps! Gramps my #$%. What does that make you:p By my scientific calculations you are 231 days older than me. I call you today or Sat.
