This morning I watched an AAL 767-300 land, the wings were rocking back and forth so badly I think the PF was drunk. Possibly the PM, too. If this is true, and AAL pilots are in fact flying drunk, I better run to my nearest aviation forum and start speculating.

That would be interesting since AA prematurely and stupidity retired their 767 fleet over 4 years ago.

Nobody at AA likes that clown either, He's from the era of Judy.

Now, I'm just going to go out on a limb and say this stowaway was from the previous flight which was coming from San Paulo, Brazil (Although, I hear Chicagostan is getting pretty bad nowadays). Anyways, if from Brazil, what a damning indictment on both the flight crew and ground crew in ORD for not catching this in Chicago. If an actual walk-around was performed, there is no way a dead body would be left unnoticed in the wheel well. Cold ears in Chicago are not a valid reason for skipping a walk-around, haha. Can anyone confirm yet if the stowaway was from Chicago or Brazil?

I've seen it referenced several places as a 'dead body.'

Is that normally how is typed out? If a body is found I've never heard of it being alive and if so why don't they call it an 'alive body' if we have to distinguish the two?

Judy?


Gotta love a pilot who writes to the local paper about being a hero. Where DO we find such men?

Grass Valley pilot safely lands 757 after one engine quits.

An American Airlines flight from Hawaii – carrying 147 people, including seven crewmembers – landed safely on one engine at Los Angeles International Airport early Monday after Grass Valley pilot Thomas “Juan” Browne reported engine trouble.
Airline spokesman Matt Miller in Dallas said instruments on Flight 246 showed trouble with the left engine about an hour before its scheduled arrival and the engine was shut down. He says the aircraft is designed to fly safely on one engine.
In an e-mail to The Union, Browne said it was his first engine failure in 13 years of flying with American Airlines, although he “had plenty in the (United States Air Force).”
“This was on the all-nighter this morning coming back from Kona, Hawaii about an hour and a half from LAX (0330 hrs),” Browne wrote. “The left engine failed abruptly at cruise of 38,000 (feet). We suspect the low pressure engine driven fuel pump failed.”
Browne said an emergency was declared, and the plane was taken down to descended to 25,000 feet, where they “ran the procedures, briefed the rest of the crew, notified the pax (passengers) of a ‘minor mechanical problem with the left engine’ and yours truly flew a flawless single engine (Instrument Landing System) into LAX with crummy weather – 500 feet broken/mist.”
The Boeing 757 jetliner landed at 5:19 a.m. from Kona and passengers got off at the terminal gate.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says FAA inspectors will work with the airline to determine the cause of the problem and ensure it is fixed before the plane is returned to service.
– The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Still waiting for specifics.

Sorry I was quoting and agreeing with you regarding AA763. Sorry, I confused you with him.

She was responsible for pilot hiring in the 1990s and earlier and is the reason so many of a certain personality are there.
