I frequently fly YYZ-BOS on Eagle ERJ135's. I've been on many flights where the weather has been poor - landing in snowstorms, crosswinds, breaks between thunderstorms, etc. I'm crapping myself and you guys are probably loving it :D

After reading many of the posts in this forum over a couple of weeks I realize the challenges you guys and girls face every day. I just wanted to say Thank You and express my gratitude for flying me safely and skillfully and allowing me to see my family after every trip.

Thank you very much. It is nice to hear that some of our Pax actually appriciate, the hard work, and dedication of the men and women sitting up front. Our First priority is always to see you Safely to your destination.

Just ask the flight attendant if you can chat a bit. We had a passenger the other day that flew a C-340. He came up and visited. It was nice to talk with someone who didn't ask me about rubber bands or hamsters.

Stop by and say hi any time. Feel free to ask questions. Yeah, we might be in a rush but without you back there we don't have a job. Sadly this gets lost on a lot of us.

The weather has been crappy, and coming back from furlough hasn't helped. Having a number of pax compliment on a landing in strong winds at ORD a few days back was a big boost and very much appreciated!

Hey guys, new here, I live in the area of the recent Flight 3407 crash. I have been reading your threads and posts on this tragedy the past couple days for a couple reasons, I wanted to get an experts take on the subject and I was interested in your response to the BullS media coverage it has been receiving.
I too would like to thank you all for the jobs you do.As pilots you have got to have the biggest shoulders in the world and I respect the jobs you do for what many people take for granted. Godspeed to you all and yours, again, Thank you!!!

You do know the Saab! If anybody ever tested the fire handles (right at perfect scalp level), there would be hundreds of samples of DNA.

It is too soon to speculate. Let the investigation run its course, the NTSB will publicly post their report within about a year. Marvin and Becky were both great pilots and I can assure you that they did everything they could to save those passengers, other crewmembers and themselves.
