The aircraft would give you many warnings when thrust is pushed forward and the flaps aren’t selected. And yet there have been numerous accidents in airliners after a takeoff without flaps extended, where warnings should have alerted the crew. Sometimes they were not functioning, other times crews ...

Would lack of flaps (with engines operating nominally) cause zero or negative vertical speed? Yes if heavy and the flaps were fully retracted instead of the gear the airplane would likely immediately stall and descend. However it does look fairly stable in descent. There have been numerous accident...

Stepping up to a Jazz position in my opinion would be 1900 and King Air Captains. Lots of IFR experience on aircraft a bit slower than Jazz Dash 8, with 2 crew experience and many of those types now have FMS/Glass Cocpits seems to be the plausible logical applicants to hire and be able to fit in ra...

Those with more experience aren’t applying. It’s not that they are choosing to hire low timers, they can’t hire the others.

2000 hrs gets you on the radar at Air Canada. Until recently I was flying with individuals on the 767 with just over 2000 hrs total.

Bahahaha. More MCS.

I am not letting this go. You went after me (and not only you) for simply saying the pax deserve a lot more empathy than this crew. Still your position BTD? They deserve empathy? Isn’t it evil to commence a flight that knowingly has a high probability of an accident? You say — they had no idea or i...

Almost certainly the crew screwed up. Big time. That doesn’t make them evil or not worth of empathy. And nobody said more than the passengers. I am not letting this go. You went after me (and not only you) for simply saying the pax deserve a lot more empathy than this crew. Still your position BTD?...

It’s also Ok to ignore my post and just not dig the hole you made even deeper. When in a hole , stop digging. They were negligent and crashed an airplane due to forgetting to complete an essential part of a flight every student learns before their first solo, and a lot of people are very lucky to b...

When you can’t impress with talent, baffle with bollsheet. Simple accident analysis…pilot didn’t flare. Obviously. Yet I was told earlier in this thread that I needed to have more empathy for the flight crew than the pax who were turned upside down and nearly turned into a roman candle. I did not u...

Used as an insult, meathead is one word.

I feel for the Capt and FO, no doubt emotionally scarred by this accident and will be for a lengthy time if not throughout the remaining aviation career. If there is such thing as consolation for them , nobody died on their watch. Yet. 3 in critical condition at last report. I feel for them, and ot...

Built in 2007. Korean safety culture at its finest. KoreaCrash.jpg This is the most criminal thing. Like the ravine off the end of YYZ 06R that was never filled in or runway arrest system installed after air france? And Air France wasn’t the first. An AC DC9 went into that ravine after an RTO in 19...

Dec 17 is Investor day. The only rumour I heard was the MAX going to Rouge.

The max going to rouge isn’t a rumour. There is a letter of understanding in our agreement on how the max’s will transfer and how the 320s will come back.

The hard part was the beat of the union, right up until accepting the TA - it was a very loud war cry, with the biggest release of hot gas happening without warning when the TA dropped. I think had they been more realistic and honest with the pilot group, and industry in general, likely they would'...

Correct. Also the old flat pay was flat. Didn't matter how much you worked. That was the pay. You also couldn't get draft or premium. That was the pay. Now $6561 / $7111 are the absolute minimums year 1 / 2. And only if you don't crack 75 hours. Plus paid over 75 for actual flying or MRG in a time ...

About 91k Incorrect, Y1 flat effective April 2, 2003 with no Connector Airline credit was $3751.87 per month in 2003 dollars ($5861 in 2024), Y2 was $4262.29 per month ($6660 in 2024). Contract 2023 rates exceed that for Y1 and 2 adjusted for inflation, not defending the rates but that’s straight o...

I confess. I never talked to an embraer rep. I made it all up.

Except my embraer time. I do have that.

The old crosswind takeoff, rowing the canoe.

I have 3000 hrs in the E1s. I was told by a embraer rep, that it is so you can feel like you are flying the Concorde.

I thought we were required to wear 21 pieces of flair?

Nope. Try again. I’ll narrow it down. You are using threats and intimidation to influence the way people are going to vote. I say use good arguments and make a case. I also said I pity your narrow perspective and methods. Lastly, I do engage in violence multiple times per week with mutual agreement ...

Doubling down on the crazy! You are free to vote however you want, however you will have to live with the consequences!
