There implies a place... Like "Go over there." or "JayDee is being a douche over there."

Their is plural possessive. Like, "Their teapots are aligned in a neat row."

Also, it is spelled restaurant, I do believe...







Im sorry for being a turd... I really am... I just could not help myself!

Still friends?

 

crap you're right i did screw up the "their/there"...we'll there goes my whole punchline!

i'll get'em next time...

 

A few years back when I flew a Jetstream 32 (no cockpit door) we were taxing out to the runway and had a passenger come up front and tap me pretty hard on my shoulder; she actually startled the crap out of me and my copilot while I was taxing (~ a year after 9/11)...

This was in ATL, I stopped and applied the brakes thinking what the heck is going on? I took my headset off and the (very large) lady pointed her finger in my face and said something like "hello! do I have to be reminding you one of your engines is not working?!" ..and she rolled her eyes as in - 'those pilots are morons for not realizing that!'

I grabbed the intercom so others could hear and said something like "folks, some of you seem to be nervous over the fact we use only one engine while taxing. I would like to assure you that's a perfectly safe and a normal procedure at our airline! We normally operate the right engine when flying to our destination and switch to the left one on the way back... - this saves us a lot of gas..."

The vast majority of our passengers on that route were regulars we saw day in and day out and most of them were laughing pretty hard in the back. The lady who 'punched me' said "oh, I didn't realize that" and went back to her seat... Memories...




JayDee - Eye hop eye speiled it all wright four u...

 

yea i know, I should not even begin to trash someone else's spelling or grammar... Im horrible and I know it!

 

Relax man, It was meant to be funny, not to offend anyone. I hope I haven't offended you. If I have, I am sorry. If it were realy happening to me, I'd say to the person sitting next to me something along the lines of, "I'm sure the pilots have families to go home to and see. I don't know what that noise was, but they probably woulden't fly if it wasn't safe."

 

Don't worry!!!! NO OFFENSE TAKEN AT ALL!!. Didn't mean to imply it. It was only an attempt by me for an intro to the body of my post.

 

I have flown with you guys.... You're the ones who, when I was five miles out, told me I was at Vapp+1. Thanks guys!

 

I've flown with these pilots before too!

They start calling out "Vref - 5, -10" after touchdown...

 

o.k. phewph--(wipes sweat from brow)

 

i always fly at like Vapp plus a couple knots b/c i don't trust those electronic weight and balances...a lot of times i put the Vapp in and it's right on the white line...

then again my math is similar to my grammar so i should probably just stay away from those flip cards...

(is it normal that the yoke shakes like crazy and tries to push forwards when i'm on final???)
