Anyone who slams ALPA for their Safety programs is just plain ignorant!
There is NOBODY else that comes close to ALPA's safety/CHIRP personnel.
ALPA has the best programs/ trained personnel for taking care of pilots (and families) who have been inviovled in an incident or accident. If your not from an ALPA carrier, who is going to take care of you or your fellow Pilots after and accident?
No one wants to be involved in an accident. If it happens, I for one am glad to have my ALPA 800 accident hotline line card. I am glad there will be someone on the scene shortly that will be on MY Side an incident, looking out for me and my crew.

Here at X-JET single engine landings require the use of flaps 22. Don’t know if eagle uses flap 22 landings on regular bases to save fuel (a much different picture than 45’s.) Also you have to add 18% to our available landing distance for a wet runway, plus 10% for single engine and times that all by 1.45% for flaps 22 (something like that.) That’s a total of 40% increase. Also flap 22 landings you float for days. Next time I fly Ill do the calculation “guessing their weight”. It will be a couple of days off for 4.
