I heard this guy Jon "The Admiral" Coleman, was texting when the FO called for checklists climbing out of Denver. Unprofessional. Not surprising that he might overlook some safety issues and blame pilots for wanting to leave. Don't text and fly, it can wait.
Glad. I. Went. Elsewhere.
What does "meow" mean?

Have you not listened to or monitored 121.5 for any period of time in the last twenty years?
It's something that childish, immature no-time nobodies do on 121.5, "meowing" like kittens, because they think it's funny. I heard a controller trying to get a word in edgewise to call an unresponding aircraft, on 121.5. He couldn't, due to the barrage of "meows." Freaking idiots.

Yeah, I think one point to take away from the story is that there is more to it - I don't necessarily think it's just about contracts - it seems to be much more about a systemic issue with safety that has gone on for years. If you search APC threads or other online resources you see a history of warnings regarding Key Lime. The difference now is that they have been able to get media attention, when maybe others weren't able to for whatever the reason. But who knows. It'll be interesting to follow this story and see where it goes.
