If a pax is afraid of something like a go around they probably shouldn't be flying......or ever leaving their padded room. GMAFB

 

Wouldn't you be happier as a Cargo Caninous operator? You still get to fly, but don't have to have nervous pax try your patience or test you compassion or lack thereof?

 

More than a few people are afraid/anxious of flying....WITHOUT the added "fun" of a go-around. A bit insensitive to think that makes them worthy of a padded room.

 

Try an easy go-around sometime instead of behaving like Maverick evading a Atoll missile in a F14 with a 4000' fpm climb to 3000'. Follow that with a short PA on downwind blaming a traffic sequencing issue. Easy come, easy go. The pax always looked calm when I've done it.

Big difference when low on a CATII-III or windshear.

As for "forcing" GA's? One might notice that jets aren't equipped with rear view mirrors. Sometimes exits are missed due to a higher speed or some other issue.

I'll beetch as much as the next guy when some guy lollygags down a 10K runway for whatever reason, but in the end, they own the pavement until exiting.

 

Many airports overseas have stipulated runway exit points. This assists with runway minimum occupancy. Jeppy Charts contain specific info concerning exit points. Don't know if any U.S. airports have desired exit points. We verify our performance manuals to confirm we are able to comply with such requirement. We notify either the final controller or tower if unable accordingly. My go-arounds have been for dawdling aircraft in position for takeoff rather than behind landing aircraft.

 

Thats impressive, performing a go-around and looking through peep hole.

 

Maybe he's use to multitasking while looking through a peep hole.

CCTV.... Latest option installed on jets today.

 

TOTD: to that OO flyboy who was lurking in the lounge last night at Roasters in SEA.
I was having dinner with my crew after they cx our last leg to the outstation because freezing rain was forecast. Another pair of FA's from our base showed up because of the same thing. This tool and his sidekick drifted over after they heard us talking about "work, work, work, overnights, work..."
"Hey, are you flightcrew?... Who do you work for?..."
TOTD:"I fly for "Delta". I fly jets" My lead FA tore into him, (bless her black heart, her hubby flies too), "Oh yeah, what type? CRJ, ERJ, Embraers, what?"
TOTD: "All of them." (Smirk.) "I even let a flight attendant do a landing once." FA: "Bull****! I won't even land the plane if I'm flying in a -172."
He was making a play for one of the other girls. They were ok, they knew how to handle this douche.
It was amazing, (appalling). The frozen permanent smirk. The perma-tan. The *********g ducktail hairdoo. (I hate those.) It was straight back to 1986 and "Top Gun". It was the Iceman. He walks the earth again. I wanted to wring his neck for the damage his stereotype does to our profession. The girls just laughed at him. I just wondered how in the hell he got hired; I'm sure his apps are out all over. The pool for the regionals must be pretty well drained dry.

It was so cliché it was unbelieveable.
Ok, rant over.

 

Haha. That's funny. Too bad you didn't get video or at least a pic of him in action.
