Offering me a hangar if still interested… I’ve been on the list EIGHT years. Yes, I took it…

Flight attendants absolutely can deny based on their observation. So can gate agents…. However, that is not their performance metric, and SADLY, unlike @Kritchlow, they usually do not get backed up by the captain. Can’t count how many times FAs came up saying some jackass pax wouldn’t listen...

Finding more and more older guys who CANNOT even get liability only…. At any cost.

Simply purge with CO2.

I’ve given first rides to kids who are now professional aviators. It’s a VERY AWESOME thing to experience…. Conversely, I remember going to an airshow when I was 11. The blues were performing, I knew all about them, knew what I wanted to do, was busily bragging to my buddy who we took to the...

Many many thanks to @FormerHangie for meeting me today and passing off the BFW! In true addict fashion, I shall now go find things on which to use this… ha!! Maybe I’ll become a diesel mechanic… Mav, do you remember the name of that diesel mechanic school? Truck master I think it was… Tools

That inspires me to be in the industry… Watching the Blue Angels when I was 4, and knowing my dad was in the Navy.

Can only bust 8 hr rule if you admit to it or have been observed by someone credible. Fair warning, faa uses their own unpublished standard for credible like everything else… Insofar as BAC, .04

Nope, but I can recommend a guy… he's a VERY experienced jumper (c license, tandem instructor, master rigger and as of yesterday a PPL!) who has managed a successful drop zone for YEARS. As a pilot for him I actually went on a couple of pre buys for 182s with him and was WILDLY impressed...

Startle response. All bets are off if you get there…

Guess when all these unreliable airspeed procedures suddenly showed up?

Air France was stalled by aircrew because it was in some undefined alternate law regime, that happened because of the pitot system input failure. Aircrew is not taught how to handle this at all because it was considered too unlikely to happen. Exacerbated by the fact there was no visual...

You KNOW you were slow to climb. You DONT KNOW you were at 2400 rpm or that you were 85 mph, as you only had one source. This is where I’d start looking first.

Tabasco +, don’t get bit a lot. However, I rarely eat Mexican more than 3 times a day… People ask me if I put the stuff on EVERYTHING? I used to say everything but those things that go well with pancake syrup… but then I started finding spicy pancake syrup, so I guess yes. I literally put it...

I think buying a cirrus (used or not) comes with a certain amount of transition training… I’d really consider just going that way.

This can TOTALLY happen. Wouldn’t even be odd…. Just because it’s a big bad 121 doesn’t mean the most basic of mistakes can’t be made. In fact, it’s this simple chain of events that is REQUIRED for a mishap. Jackson Hole, Vail and Aspen were look at pictures quals.

Ryan is wrong… the pics really aren’t that pretty. Seems there are a FEW really weird South American places that require a checkout… Can’t think of any US airports that were more than looking at pictures… Delta, USAJet, Everts Air Cargo, American Eagle to name a few.

No. Not trained for that AT ALL.

Sadly… ala Ron White… once you’ve flown SOMETHING, you want to fly EVERYTHING. Them: Tools, you really wanna fly that?? Tools: yep Tools, who literally has named that column MISC in my logbook.
