Jethead needs a writing school like the movie Pearl Harbor missed the point. Or something.

Nahh...you just push the FLY button, sit back and watch it happen!

Any flight attendant could do it...

Oh, the horror!!

Why you should NEVER fly into Washington National Airport « JetHead's Blog

Don't fly to DCA, apparently.

"Look at the runway length of the “long” runway: that’s right, 6,800 feet–200′ shorter than LaGuardia’s aircraft carrier deck"


LaGuardia is a carrier deck? At 7,000 feet?

There's gotta be someone on here who's flown with Captain "I'm the Manno". Come on -- give it up.

You owe me a beer for stealing a precious hour of my life I can honestly say, reading the various replies to his blog posts made me stupider.

" I'll give Les Abend a TOTD if he hasn't already gotten one."

I use to enjoy reading Thomas Block's columns when he was writing, can't even stomach the garbage Abend writes these days.

I love how he touts his expertise in the MD-80 and 737. Apparently, MD-80s have GE JT8D engines. Hmmm, when did GE buy P&W? Also, comparing the technology of an -800 and MD-80 is an apples to oranges comparison. Besides, there might be some that actually like to man-handle a jet (I for one love flying the legacy C-130).

What gets me is his phobia about going into DCA. I always LOVED going in there, we called it "Fun". He sounds like he's scared of it, unless he's just being a Drama Queen, for his blog.
