Lol. Where's the odometer again?

Yeah I guess Jiffy Lube forgot to put that little sticker on the windshield.

Gonyon, I might be acting a prude but not sure that's great to be putting here. See thread "The Media Reads APC." We could also add "Litigious Attorneys Read APC."

I disagree. Considering the huge shít sandwich Mr. Williams served himself and is currently munching on, he's fair game for some good-natured ribbing.

Also, a coke.

(Man might get thirsty; it's a big sandwich he shat himself.)

Hahahaha!!

Don't forget this gem:

“This aircraft was allowed to go into failure at an altitude on a commercial flight with 150 people on board, and that shouldn’t happen,”

As soon as you walked in. So everyone that comes and goes walks right through the area.

Like I said before, if this is the case, ALPA should jump on it with both feet. Have a little chat with the POI, ASAPs, Press Release, etc. I don't think they have the stones to pull that off, nor the negotiating prowess to fix this without a push from the membership.

The least credible source period. Maybe it's for FA in-flight training but I doubt a flight attendant is in the know about the company's plan for our cbt.

I had a FA tell me last week on a turn that "If we get to our first airport early, it will take longer to get back because of winds." Yes, she was attempting to teach me how winds work on an aircraft.

A month ago we had to do an autoland and we told the lead (of 13 years here) we were doing an auto land and to have the pax turn off all PEDs. Once we explained what an auto land was to this 13 year FA, she asked "Well, are you pilots even qualified to do this."
