I think she is the same pig that wrote about sneaking into a QB meeting. Apparently whether its a social club or an ATC comtroller, if it doesnt mert her agenda anything is fair game. She is either a liar or a careless/reckless aviator. Either way, not impressive...

Scheduling called Capt to release him from a last day 5 hour turn. Thinking I(FO) may be released too, fooishly asks "did scheduling have a message for me as well?" Capt answers "your schedule is not my responsibility".

Where's the Flying Mag editor? Who let's this kind of cr@p pass in an aviation magazine?

Frightening to think she's training others.

That was nothing. There's this blogger/"consultant" out there, retired FA, who would barf out so many asinine quarter truths out of contexts in an attempt to create volitility and controversy. I can't remember her name and I don't know what to put into google to search for her other than derogatory explitives. I'm sure someone out there knows the blog I'm talking about as its been on forums before.

I mean she makes that TOTY squealing about dangerous DCA approaches look like Captain Reassurance. She makes Mary Schiavo look like Churchill.

Just a teaser from one of her savvy pro consumer rants:

Lower oxygen levels effect your eyesight. (technically true)

There's less oxygen at higher altitudes, including higher pressure altitudes that plane cabins are typically at. (ok, again, technically true, to a point)

Airlines provide oxygen to pilots on the flight deck. (yes, yes they do)

This oxygen mitigates the harmful effects on their eyesight. (um, yeah ok, that might sort of be true to a point but...)

But the passengers in the back suffer from eye damage. (oh it gets better)

One way you can prevent this is to tell the FA to tell the Captain to turn on the other pack to increase the oxygen for everyone, as airlines routinely operate with some of the packs off to save money even though its destroying your eyesight. (wait, what?)

And lots of other moronic things like that.

That's sounds like a typical fed trying to justify his/her existance but dang. Really? It's like that pax private pilot in the back thats starts a fuss because you didn't do a runup before TO.
