To the Piedmont crew who apparently accidentally shut down BOTH engines today after clearing 27R in PHL...
Shut 'em down, emergency lights went on, no one said anything. Sat there for 10 minutes with zero explanation. Started up the right engine and taxied on in...
Tools.
Not because they shut down both engines, but because they said NOTHING to the pax while the Emer lights were on and they sat there on an active taxiway.

Full disclosure, I was not on the flight. Good buddy and his crew were DHs on it.

Don't know if I completely buy your good buddies story. If you accidentally shut down both engines, would it really take you 10 minutes to start up the APU and start up one engine? More like two minutes.

Might be an exaggeration but to put it in perspective, the 717 APU takes just under 3 minutes to get started and an additional 2 minutes until air is available. It then takes over 2 minutes to get the 1st engine cranked bringing us until 7 minutes to have the ability to taxi if we were to do the same thing. I know they aren't operating 717s but not everybody can just step on the brake and hit the auto start button with the FOB in their pocket .

I can't say I'm a huge fan of rap, but I thought that was a killer cut. I just paypal'd the tune and downloaded to my in-flight playlist. Well done, sir. Takes cajones to put yourself out publicly like that. F the haters, you know they always gonna hate.

Hope I get to meet you one of these days. 1st round is on me.
D'Tyner, that Dollar Fifty was great! Should be required listening for all Airline Pilots!

I was raised in the 60's and 70's listening to Zeppelin and Lou Reed, but when Marshall Mathers came along, and after watching 8 Mile, I started listening to some of his stuff. He's pretty funny too.

Here's one of my favorites. Mods, this one is edited to take out the bad words.

When ACARS units were first installed, a pilot demonstrated that they were not yet operational by sending a message which called the CEO a skunk. He was shocked to get a return message inviting him to visit the CP's office.

Who's the tool, the passengers, the one with the emotional support dog, or the boy with allergies?
