I hate the captains that do this especially on the ramp. Was deadheading Into Orf the other day on you guessed it, psa and he took this thing probably fast as a car on the highway into the gate, not even exaggerating . Not like there's rampers, vechicles and other aircraft around or anything.

NWA use to send new 747 CA's on the JS to Hongkong so they could see this approach. Invariably, they ended up doing the ILS to the reciprocal RWY.

I wish she would have shown that PSA FO her last paycheck it's likely twice what he makes. Hope she's on a hiring board some day and these guys walk in for an interview.

I call bvll****. You're telling me the CA gave her permission to close without a bag sheet (because you claim they were still putting bags on the cart.) and that she would close without her final paperwork, which comes from the gate agent, who obviously couldn't because people were still boarding and that a ramp agent also did this because Mesa/AA policy requires a ramp agent be present to close the boarding door? Nice try on fake Mesa bashing though....

I was in the JS of A320, former F4 guy was yanking and banking like the NAM days. I love UAL, they treat me so well, I really wanted to say something, but they toss me in BIZ class when I JS to asia. The FO should have said something. It was bad.

I run into miserable pilots all the time during my commute. And, surprise, they're from all different airlines. Not just PSA. Smile, sit there and keep your mouth shut, thank them for the ride, and go about your day.
