TopGun, that's pretty narrow-minded of you to take a bad experience on Mesa/Freedom (the worst) and apply it to all regional carriers.... I have had bad experiences on Mesa/Freedom before. They are the exception. Next time try Comair, ASA, ExpressJet, Skywest, etc.. Every carrier has their occasional flight where nothing seems to go right. But I guess with your 'claimed' experience, you would only know this if the Mesa/Freedom jungle jet was in a 4-G negative dive with a Mig... :rolleyes:
But I guess I dont need to tell you any of this.... with your top secret clearance, you can read about it. |

Oh yea: You went below the hard deck. "So you went below the deck and TOOK THE SHOT!! And broke the major rules of engagement." "Lieutent Mitchell those rules are for your own safety and for the safety of other Naval aviators at Topgun. Either OBEY them or you are HISTORY, IS THAT CLEAR?" "YES SIR." "DISMISSED." "Thanks Topgun, I really needed that." |

I have to agree on this one as well. All of what you mentioned is par for the course at Dulles, regardless of carrier. |
Well...all the TopGun references are getting a little old now...I think you guys are holding on too tight...

You know, come to think of it, TopGun may be a ruse...nobody is that clueless.
With all the turmoil going on right now - high fuel, furlough's, and the final straw - APC being sold - I am thinking that HSLD put this post here just to make us laugh. It is probably a plot. |
You know, in this defense, these flight attendants need to look at the passengers. That irks me to no end, whether I am flying or riding. If you talk to someone, you look at them.

"I lost the edge, Sir. I am holding on too tight." "Topgun references never get old." I still remember the Old Army barrack balads of that day. "Old soldiers never die, They just fade away." |

How do I know it was an IOE?
1) Sat in 1c (last seat in the house). FO was being instructed on how to use the door, adjust his seat, use the PA and how to fill out the paper work. 2) every PA was repeated by the captain as the FO did not know how to use the PA- He was completely unintelligable. 3) After 16000 hours in part 121 and years in corporate you know how things work!. I came up through the ranks, CFI, corporate, regional, 121, furloughed, 121, corporate. A 1st class operation this was not! Get you story straight. |
Mav: Goose, wheres Viper?
Goose: Stay with Hollywod man, we're coving his wing. Hollywood: Dont you Leave me Maverick. Mav: Goose, theres Viper, 3 O'clock low! Goose: Stay with Hollywood man, we're his cover. Mav: Hollywood, you're looking good! I want Viper! Some time passes: Goose: Holy Sh**, we're going head-to-head, I cant' beleve we're doing this! |
