Shouldn't he have an SIC type?

 

I thought Eagle started a program a couple years back to fully type some FOs...guess I assumed that's how he got it.

Although I have seen reports he got his CRJ type from RAA...

 

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

"There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man (EXCEPT Tim Martins or Chuck Norris) could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier........"

 

Sitting on Reserve (and not getting called) this has been a very entertaining week!

 

Thanks Tim. Your vast accomplishments will fill the newly planned Timothy Martins Wing at the Smithsonian. Can't wait to visit.

So sad it makes you wish this was the ultimate April Fools joke.

 

Excellent post. There's a difference between an honest mistake and intentional deceit. I actually feel sorry for the guy as he obviously is in need of psychological help. On the other hand, it's been tremendously entertaining and he deserves the barbs thrown his way. I'm an ALPA supporter, but this should be the last nail in "Airline Pilot's" coffin.

 

If only that were true...

My favorite description...It's like watching a slow motion train wreck. It sure has kept several us entertained here in the desert.

Walter Mitty Syndrome

Walter Mitty was a a fictional character in James Thurber's short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, published in 1941. Mitty was a meek, mild man with a vivid fantasy life: in a few dozen paragraphs he imagined himself a wartime pilot, an emergency-room surgeon, and a devil-may-care killer. He has become such a standard for the role that his name appears in several dictionaries. . . .

The Walter Mitty syndrome is clearly related: people use fantasy to escape from their normal lives. They believe that their lives are humdrum and boring, never realizing what an enormous gift it is to be alive at all. . . .

Nobody has yet added the syndrome to the canon of psychological lore, yet every clinician has seen cases, and the syndrome is sometimes used as a pejorative term, particualrly in the political arena.


[Walter Mitty did not have social networking and other Internet sites where it is easy to verify what comes out in print. ]
