OLDOC44 says:More problems with kids playing with aircraft; at least the last debacle was at an airshow so people could watch and learn how not to play with dangerous toys and expect never to have a problem. Both pilots were probably bs'ing on their cell phones or texting while the proximity problem was developing.
Yes, that's all we do.. Bs on our phones the whole flight, take naps, then play on our laptops.. These planes just fly themselves these days.. Pilots play no role in safety.. I just somehow think this person is serious.. Thus making him/her a total moron..

Hey guys, I need help getting in contact with a Spirit pilot named T. Tuite. I flew with him years ago at Mesa and want to touch base with him. I will gladly send a pm with my contact info to anyone that can get it to him. Sorry for the thread drift.

Whats the deal?? 9 Canceled flights today - roughly 50% on time? is this status quo or still reeling from the fuel debacle?

Asked a delta guy today about their fueling procedures. They dont require a crew member to be on board when fueling is in progress. Whats with the different set of rules the FAA is forcing us under.

I've worked for several different airlines over the course of my career and this is the only company (NKS) that requires a pilot on board during refueling (with pax on board). However none of the other companies had Airbus equipment.
Is this an Airbus thing?

Nope. We ****ed off the FAA, and this is the result. One of those "won the battle, lost the war" situations.
