Couldn't happen to Southwest, they'd see the mud coming up and just rotate. That's why they taxi the way they do.

Following taxiway lines is hard.

FACT: There were never any accidents/incidents, bent metal, incursions, or issues of any kind at Pinnacle prior to Colgan pilots transitioning to the mighty CRJ.
I've got no dog in this fight. But off the top of my head, 3701 happened WAY before Colgan and Pinnacle were merged.

So you're full of it...

Maybe. It didn't come across as sarcasm at all, in the face of numerous accusations that Colgan pilots were bringing down the safety record. It appears he was serious, and full of bologna...

3. Some great penny stock he just put his life savings into
4. How he used to be addicted to crack, but turned his life around at Gulfstream Flight Academy
5. How he failed in everything else in life until this seniority-based promotion system gave him the opportunity to make $90,000/year with no education and no accountability
6. Some pointless rant about how some hotel didn't have stale toast and bagels this morning
7. How he doesn't understand why we have to do things the (insert airline name here) way
8. The impending pilot shortage. We're all going to be 797 captains!
9. His pretend "flow" to Delta, a shrinking airline

10. Add your own! This will be fun!
