Hey ASA
Hey ASA--do you guys have a profile descent of 260/270 knots on arrival??? Is this a company policy or what???
Memphis has been backed up like nothing else in recent months--I'm not going to point fingers or anything (I know you guys have rigs--and wish we had them at 9E). However, it's getting a little ridiculous slowing down to 250 for in-trail spacing 240 miles out, every single friggin' morning on the arrivals (especially SW gate)...and 90% of the time, it happens immediately after they query an Acey in front of us doing 260/270... While I'm on here, thanks to the ASA crew that rolled all the way to the end of 36R, telling the tower "unable" when instructed to turn left on Papa AND Sierra 3, in what the tower and my crew considered an intentional attempt to make us go around...you gave me the opportunity to fill out a FSR for the first time in a few months... |

Would you like some cheese with that wine? |

We use "econ speeds" for climb (except when departing out of Bravo), cruise, and descent. We punch some numbers into the Acars and a recommended speed pops up based on the winds, fuel index, etc. Obviously any ATC instruction takes precedence over the econ speed.

Yup, we are regional pilot....

How's your contract negotiations going? Maybe you shouldn't have been going so fast. |

Why do Pinnacle guys in the 900 always turn the tiller full left or right before the aircraft has started moving? Have you seen the skidmarks the nose gear leave on the pavement? It's comical, I see it all day long. Let me guess, it's a stretch and they need all the room they can get to move out of the tight confines of the ATL ramps...:rolleyes: |

Just because you aren't paid by the minute doesn't mean the rest of us who are should get out of your way. |

First off the rig is based on schedule not actual, also, ATC can tell us to speed up if we are really ruining the MEM airspace as you say. |
Just to add another point. In DTW don't block the mile wide alley. You can turn to the zipper road and tuck it in so everyone can get by. We respect you in ATL do us the same favor.

Waaaaaaaahhhhhh! But I don't wanna wear a dress!

First off - ATC will assign whatever speed will work for them on the arrival, I highly doubt they are catering to ASA crews.
As to the folks that rolled long, maybe the Captain was a d**k - or maybe they had a legitimate reason to roll to the end. BTW - how do you know the tower "considered" this an intentional attempt to make you go around? you sound butt-hurt about something else; trust me, 95% of ASA crews are not intentionally crampin' your style. |

Some of us have two speeds, if you don't like the first one you da%m sure won't like the second one. |

Huh, what a tool, anyways, like I was saying... |
Ok I have a complaint about Pinnacle if they are complaining about us.
Give us your MSP base, NOW. Commuting sucks. |
Dear ASA, Continue doing what you do and enjoy!
I dont recall any posts on here when Pinnacle joined the ATL circus and screwed up EVERYTHING on the ramp... The Pinnacle Pilots will whine until they die but NEVER take action - dont take it to heart! They just want to make sure they can preserve their substandard work rules and pay :) LOLOLOL They will stop the whining soon! |

The cost index speeds are filed on our flight plan, and our fuel numbers take them into account. I'm not flying faster and wasting my fuel to appease a whiny Pinnacle pilot, sorry.

But ANYTIME you gotta fill out paperwork for a go around, much less for something like an aircraft still on the runway, you should be questioning your company's practices. Not the guy that was on the runway. |

Another spineless pilot talking smack on a forum. I find it hilarious that he never had the common decency to respond nor apologize. Who starts a thread with a paragraph full of nonsensical logic and doesn't have a rebuttal? Please Mr. Hotshot, I fly for ASA and not only am I laughing at your idiocy...but the fact that ill be doing 147 in my descents for now on and rolling to the end of "your" runway, stop, compose myself, lock the tiller, apply maximum thrust and laugh as you have to go around. God I love my job.

Looks like the original questions have been answered. I don't see anything else productive coming from this thread. Closed.
