"Ladies and gentlemen, we've started our descent into LA. It's a nice sunny day, with a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit. We'll be on the ground in 20 minutes. Oh, and as we boarded our flight today, we overheard someone calling this aircraft a puddlejumper. However, this puddlejumper got us to our destination a full 35 minutes early, which we think is pretty nifty. Once again, thanks for flying with us and we'll see you on the ground." She has the right to voice her opinion of the airplane, obnoxious or not -- and who can really disagree with her that much? A CRJ-700 is only the jet of choice when you compare it to a CRJ-200 or EMB-145. Also, maybe part of her complaint came from gate checking bags, which is a very annoying process, and eats up connecting time upon arrival. The CRJ-700 is bad to ride on compared to a lot of other things out there, and your PA became the latest reason. |
The FO who insisted that we needed to turn on engine anti-ice AFTER landing while taxiing to the gate in wintery conditions. I humored him and said that "I don't think it's required but it probably won't hurt anything so go nuts if it makes you happy." He continued to insist during the taxi in that on "every jet at every other company, that's what we do!" After we park, I suggest that I had NEVER heard that and that at THIS company on THIS jet, that we do NOT do that and that if the company wanted us to do so, ice protection would be on the after landing and parking checklists. Fellow proceeds to get butthurt.

You don't think that his PA is anything corollary to mainline guys dictating their entire military career during their welcome aboard announcement?
No. As cringeworthy as that is, it does not single out and bully a paying customer. |

I usually don't like to add to this thread....but to the RJ (either Mesa or TSA at this airport) captain who is walking through the terminal with your shirt half untucked hanging out in the back and BOTH of your pant legs tucked 3/4 of the way into your socks....please, for the love of god try to look a little bit professional while in the eye of the public.

2. Quit being such an ass. 3. You're wrong. From your post history, you're an xjt CA. Procedures are to turn eng ai on in ground icing conditions. 4. It's scary you're headed to Delta with that attitude. |
