Exactly what I would expect from almost any regional crew. If PDT, or Envoy, or AWAC, or SkyWest had a similar thing happen, I would expect them to handle it professionally as well, and I am sure that they would handle it the same way.

Get a life lol I would rather be at a legacy carrier, and will be there some day. But, if I had to choose a regional to be a stepping stone, I am glad that I picked PSA. In reading your last 15 posts in various threads, you have trolled just about every other regional. This in the internet and you can do that. But, I think that the pilots at PSA have a stable, growing company with a bright future. We have a pretty good pilot group, good maintenance, a good route structure, and the best QOL that any regional can offer. So, if you ask me if I am proud to be at PSA, the answer is yes. Similarly, if you ask me if I will accept the first legacy offer that I get, the answer will also be yes. |
Don't feed the trolls!! LoL!

Regarding the deer incident, it was after V1 I am assuming?
There was obviously damage to the wing as it was leaking fuel on the landing. My question is this (and I currently fly a 172).... Obviously after V1 if you abort you're going to end up in the dirt or the trees. However, if something damages your wing on the roll, would getting airborne also be hazardous due to the potential of catastrophic damage to the airframe from the strike? In other words, is it better to knowingly put it into the dirt or trees instead of risk getting airborne and having no control? In this situation they did the right thing because the damage was not catastrophic and they were able to make a go-around. But what if the wing had been damaged to the point of not being flyable? I am curious and would like to learn more. |

Just trying to say - paying attention in class and doing a normal amount of studying and not overloading yourself is more than adequate. |

I am curious and would like to learn more. In the split second that it happened, it would be impossible recognize what happened, assess the damage (damage that was not visible to them), and determine if it warranted rejecting the takeoff after V1 (something they are trained not to do except in the extremest of circumstances). It's very easy to play Monday morning quarterback. Leave that to the media and their "experts". Edit: I just re-read this and it sounded a little harsh at the end. My disdain is for the media. |
Hindsight shows that if they had tried to reject the takeoff, it would have ended horribly. This reaffirmed the training.

There was obviously damage to the wing as it was leaking fuel on the landing. For those of you who have never flown a CRJ, it's worth noting that neither pilot can see either wing (or landing gear) from the flight deck. The only portion of the wing that they can possibly see is the winglet, and even THAT is difficult. So there was no way for the pilots to see that the wing was damaged and fuel was leaking, from the cockpit, if that was your assertion.

Base for new FO
I am going to training soon and just looking for advice as to which base would be best to pursue, as new FO all things considered, ( QOL, schedule, short reserve, etc) I happen to live more or less equal dist from Knox, Cincy, Charlotte. I did read FO being assigned to DCA. Any advice sure is welcome. I like th eidea of TYS since I have family and friends there, but do not want to make wrong career decision ,
THANK YOU |
