Actually he won’t flow. He will be hired off the street as a direct entry captain at mainline.

Doesn’t look like they attempted to power back, someone mentioned it then ATC asked them to do it and they said no.

The FO made a comment on frequency, and as required by our FOM, the CA coached him that it is not approved. The FO now knows it is not an allowed maneuver.

No-one tried to back up a plane using reverse thrust.

The 175 can actually fly in reverse because of how powerful the engines are.

Its not the power, its the location of those engines.

The SNJ is PFM!

You clearly didn’t fly the crj. .85 all the way, baby!

737-100/200 at Continental regularly powerbacked as well as the 727, DC-9, and MD-80. The 737-300 and higher are restricted due to FOD. AirTran power backed the DC-9 and 717s into the mid 2000’s as did AA (MD-80)

You missed the jest in my post.
there used to be some people who thought flying 175s was more valuable because the engines are under the wings :)

The old JT8s with buckets werent as suspect to FOD damage as the lower hanging high bypass ratio engines.

Jumpseating once in a DC9 that powered back, I asked this question, and was told that it was an urban legend. Kind of makes sense, as a proper CG will be always be ahead of the main gear.
