His technique is all wrong. Stance is off, hand position, no follow through... world is going to think we are a bunch of weenies that can't swing an axe.

Now I am worried about this guys judgment! A 20V Dewalt rip saw would have been the more efficient tool. That was very poor planning.

JFC that’s a legendary way to go out. The axe was an interesting choice. Anyone who’s dealt with DIA employee parking feels his pain.

Axe for show, sawzall/chainsaw for a pro.
Yeah, it even trumps the FA that grabbed the beers and blew the slides years go. He should have arm barred the parking arm, WWF style. |
"There is literally zero excuse, empathy or siding with someone who goes and crosses the imaginary looney wall by grabbing an axe and destroying airport property in uniform"
I have the inside scoop even thought it could get me banned. Clearly this guy had to fly with that new "affirmative action" hire who " against all odds" made it through 75/76 training and he just couldnt take it anymore! |

No one should be siding with this guy, not even partially. All the public will see is that an experienced 777 CA at United almost crashed a WB into the ocean, followed by Mr. Anger Management here vandalizing airport property with an axe. This is how the media will portray a United pilot, unfortunately, this week. Age 63, I get it, he's on his way out and maybe he takes his paycheck for granted. Still - would never put my kids on his flight. Time to retire early. I hope that guy never has to buy another drink for himself. |

I’d rather fly with him than you, FWIW.

Hard pass. Give me Looney Tunes and a pitcher of beer. You can keep your virtue. |
On a serious note, anyone else notice all the major media outlets calling this a “bizarre axe attack” in the headlines. As if a United pilot went full Texas chainsaw massacre on someone.
It was a parking gate. Where’s the accountability for misleading press like this… rhetorical question… grumble grumble On a less serious note, wouldn’t it have been fun to be in the truck first in line at the parking gate and have a front row seat :cool: |
