man I never met this Jen but all these posts make me wanna meet her, wish her a good day, and even from a veil of anonymity tell her that a lot of this pilot group has nothing but wholesome things to say about her...

and f^#? that POS too.

 

Don't worry, they hire competent pilots too.

 

She read this thread last night. I told her how to find it.

If anyone has a good job for her, I am sure she could use your help. I am working on something for her as well.

If anyone wants to meet her, she is across from the IAH XJT chief pilots office if she isn't chasing down some poor pilot for a drug test or reassignment.

 

I miss Jen.... Best employee XJT ever had. I haven't been in IAH long enough to make it to B in about a year... Hope I get to swing by before it's too late.

 

I'll never forget her catching up to me mid stride in the airport to grab me off a deadhead home and roll my day off to send me to an overnight. My wife had called earlier in the day and was really sick and needed me home. I had seen the reroute on ACARS and already knew how I was gonna play it when I saw her. I was ready for a fight when I told her as we walked what the deal was and that I was not accepting the assignment and was gonna get on my flight home. She just winks and says "I understand. I never saw you" I asked "Are you sure? I'll talk to whoever I need to talk to. I don't want you getting in trouble." And she just as sweet as could be says "Go home. I'll tell them you got away. We got a guy sitting ARC anyway. I don't know why they wanted you." Last conversation I ever had with her.

 

I believe the reason the aircraft ahead of them got the right turn was because it was a -8, with the slower speed they were allowed a right turn per a DCA SOP.


Meh, sort of.......

Going from memory on the ASAP, as well as a clarification that came out later with a diagram with the times and flight path, etc;

As mentioned above, they expected a heading, why? No clue.......

Took off, right at P-56A, of course getting the controller’s attention, and the controller giving basically a “turn left, turn left NOW!!!!” However, by the time that all transpired and the crew started complying, they were accelerating and climbing past A, the controller THEN said something along the lines of “disregard, keep heading north”

So they turned left, as instructed, THEN right as instructed. The controller pretty much led them into the B bust.

Unconfirmed, climbing/accelerating is the only thing that stopped defensive measures from being taken.

Unconfirmed, had a class date at CAL, date pulled/job offer rescinded.

CONFIRMED, hired at AS and another carrier, took AS, and “let go” for the reasons mentioned. Now at AA.

Mary, always so nice.

I believe she ended up getting a medical issue that wouldn’t allow her to work on the ramp anymore, so she was able to become a CS/ gate agent. She was extremely nice, she’d take a picture and put it in your V-file.

 

When I was a brand new FO she gave me a gorgeous picture of an XR taxiing on the ramp after a thunderstorm. My wife ended up framing it and now it resides on my shelf of airline memorabilia.

 

Thank you. Its been awhile since I heard the story.

 

You don’t have to be a turboprop to get the 090 heading. I have seen Airbuses do it even.

 

She seems like the person that deserves to land on her feet when this is all said and done. I don’t work for you guys and never met her, but she’s the kind of person that should be in every company.
