Unfortunately, no. My in-laws decided to use their tickets and go. Plus, funds are tight. Anyway, I'm confident they'll be back sometime in my future, and maybe when they're playing a Pac-10 school, as usual.

I actaully work for a sketchy former NWA feeder flying old DC-9 routes and we were trying to figure out the bowmonk coversions just the other night!! Never did find it out...

I miss the plain english weather, especially when the wx is bad. How hard is it to just say good, fair, poor braking action? Instead, make someone have to hold in snow clouds while they self inflict refresher training book work on their 5th leg of a 13 hour day.

Note to self: Never pirep severe turbulence unless something broke.

I think the MUs are less open to interpretation that reports of nil-to-good.
They also focus on specific areas of the runways.

I usually don't make it a habit to judge how another crew runs their cockpit, but it always throws me for a loop when pilots give braking reports of NIL without needing the last turnoff.

I at least like the option of being able to have a measurable scale on the ground can give a more accurate estimate of the braking action so the first guy in doesn't have to do it.

I agree the verbiage is a little monotonous at times, and overstating/understating an environmental conditions can screw up someone's day one way or another.

Hopefully the planes of the future will have turbulence/braking sensors so I can make thinking at work more of an option and less of a requirement.

Aw man........ ^^^^^^^^

btw, pilots that report nil and take the first high speed are probably the same that report severe when its not.

Jack sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean, so between the two of them, they licked the platter clean.

Deadhead, I know you arent a pilot. A pilot would have posted a youtube of her dirty dancing.

Sorry Scambo, but as committed as I am to the betterment of this forum community I still must decline and keep the private collection, or "The Reserve" as I like to call it, private.
