He went vertical out of the bunk and was in the jump seat in about .5 seconds. It was frikkin hysterical. Of course, we didn't get an A+ in our eval but it was funny over beers for years. And, yes, he's a senior DAL CA these days. I love running into him.:D

Power backs stopped after a light pole opposite to gate 55ish was knocked down by the elevator.
The guy giving the power back signal never gave a stop signal to the crew until they hit the light pole. |
Power backs are nuthin'.
You want excitement? Wait til the Southwest guys get their first shot at the Victor Loop in ATL. I'm sayin' it can be done at 40 knots. Maybe 45. They're gonna need some of those NASCAR "soft walls" down there. |

Don't minimize those pizza parties for ATC. Don't be surprised to see the same preferential ATC handling come to ATL. I don't know how they (SWA) do it...but they do it.

The difference is that these ATL controllers are our neighbors here in ATL. (We know where they live) :D It will take a lot more than pizza to buy off these guys.

They are going to love the taxi to and from 10/28 when they go to FL. :D |
