Sulley seemed always the sort to be generously kind to dumb animals. Note the glaring apparel differences between the sanely respectful EAA man who had flown F4's as well as human history's most successful water ditching versus the far more obviously "heroic" pizzant with the muy-macho "Fly or Die" T shirt, who has never in his pathetic excuse for a "life" ever actually done anything at all...except for some brief stint in Alaska doing his proudly self-proclaimed "Most dangerous flying in the world" of course...Just ask him. One must assume a great deal of deadly tripple A and enemy missiles were routine, although I never even once saw such aloft in Alaska. But then, I never qualifed for a "Fly or Die" T shirt or even Fantasyland "Sparta"/"Army of Leonidas" membership so what do I know? ;) Sigh, there's simply NO possible way "Cap'n Aux" could survive even so much as a basic psychiatric screening. May God help that sorry thing's crew and passengers if anything even approaching a serious emergency ever happens to him and thus them. After first performing the "Waah, I want my mommy" umm..."Immediate Action Item" Well, I don't even want to imagine any aftermath. I mean really, what's a "Cap'n" to do if not properly attired in an "heroic" T shirt at the moment? With now over a half century of flying from sailpanes as a kid to the USAF in times of war and peace, and as well 33 years in major airlines I'll simply note that I wouldn't ever trust such an utterly pathetic creature to so much as serve as a dependable chock. I honestly hope that infantile lunatic never gets seriously tested aloft for the sake of his crew and passengers...Period. I honestly believe the proverbial "bag of sand" would be of far more use in the "Captain's" seat if such ever happens. At least the bag of sand wouldn't be panic-driven to do anything absurdly stupid. Umm...I'd say what I "really think" but I'm doing my best to sugarcoat things a bit here. ;)

What's not to love there? Thick glasses/couldn't ever qualify as a "pilot" in most any other venue? Check. "Mommy bought me my "pilot's" license? Check. Infantile personality evidenced by the "selfie" and expressed gestures? Check. No notions of appropriate ties to wear with even a laughably supposed "suit"? Check. Absolutely NO/zip/ZERO sense of even slightly honoring even so much as a corporate "pilot's" costume with the slightest respect? Check. In other words a perfect hire for AWA...Will work for food and blow transient sheep at a bus station if they will call him a "pilot". A "partner in crime"/First Officer I flew with years ago best summed it up: "We're now dealing with the trailer trash of the aviation world." There's much I'll miss when this is shortly done for me, but there's equally much I'll be happy to never deal with again. It's been a true privelege and honor to fly with so very many incredibly fine people over the years, but it most certainly is no longer what it once was. In "ancient" times Silver USAF or NAVY/Marine Gold Wings were almost a requirement for airline employment, with some ARMY properly included. My earliest mentors in even airline flying were such as an ex-Blue Angel with a MIG kill and Korean War F86/MIG Alley sorts, and their invaluable and sage wisdom presented years before I finally flew in war was remembered. Given AWA's/etc's corporate "standards" it now seems that just "mommy bought me my pylut's license, and even though I've no idea how to actually fly a plane past 30 degrees of bank I are a pylut, just ask me"....Well, I'm happy to be leaving before this gets even worse. A few months back I flew with a "youngster" who, when the conversation turned to sparow murmurations actually wondered aloud: "How can they fly like that without running into each other?" I first laughed, but then quickly realized this "pilot" had never even flown any kind of formation aloft and was actually serious with his wondering. As an exhalted "Captain"/coworker I of course shifted conversation to a "safer" level and continued without the slightest disrespect throughout the sequence...but seriously? For the following two days I sadly realized that while a behavior-conditioned human being was present and perfectly acceptable on that level, that I didn't actually have another pilot to talk with. Oh well. TImes change and all that. Sigh...God bless to all. Fly safe/etc. In any case I wish you all well. I'm off to some quality "toys" I can turn upside down for some "old man acro" and better remember why I even bothered with any of this flying nonsense in the first place, but I did try that for over a decade now with no takers from pathetic infants within the self-styled "Army" of leonidas' equally laughably self-styled "Soldiers" for so much as even a non-lethal flying wager. Oh well, I guess if you spend your childhood getting "Trophies" just for "Participating" and never need actually DO anything yourself...? No matter. There's always utter scum within any sub section of human society I suppose. I will miss the many fine people I was truly privileged to fly with in airline ops over the third of a century and again wish all of those my very best....The pathetically contemporary "Capn' Aux" types?....Not-So-Much. One would reasonably wish for the return of at least some degree of the Code Duello to properly put such utterly disgusting punks in their place. Oh well. Good luck to all/"Live Long and Prosper"/etc.

Lastly, I had the very sad experience a few months back of flying a leg with a "management pilot" in the jumpseat. The corporate Koolaide was virtually dripping from that sad idiot's lips with every spoken word. That pathetic fool was actually trying to defend Scott Kirby's washing out of USAF flight school....I kid you not. That utter idiot was even trying to somehow "defend" even four-times-arrested for drunken stupidity "Doug" and would clearly lick the shoe soles of ANY creature in previous or current management...and yes, sadly there are people actually THAT stupid, and you will always suffer such incredibly clueless/Koolaide-drunken fools throughout your career, so be aware. ALWAYS know your contract details and whatever happens anytime along the way in your career; NEVER consider yourself an easily conquered "victim", but instead an actual Pilot. NEVER immediately cower to scheduling/etc. You have contractual rights. Know them and don't be shy about having them. My Bottom Line in parting "wisdom" is, well, what can I say? I'm pretty much done with this in very short order, but I'd like to see all of you treated better in the future...but you have to continually and ALWAYS earn it for yourselves as both individuals and only then parts of the greater whole, or it will all be stolen from you over time....Period.

Wacky Dan Everts continues to push his insane Alex Jones Info Wars agenda. His Deep State fantasy agenda worries Native AA pilots. They wonder what wacky Traitor is capable of, and hope he contacts Wingman
 
Former america west CFM engine experts- Duane Giroir, CJ Szmal, Mitch Vaselino- should Tammie Joe Shults have applied TOGA thrust as you claimed CB Sullenberger should have? Numerous blades missing here as well.
Your thoughts west engine experts.

The opinion of CFM TOGA GURU Duane Giroir especially sought.

Chowderhead Johnny Mac is another engineering genius who will be exposing Captain Shults for the fraud that she is. She joins Sullenberger as examples of clueless fools with no technical knowledge of the CFM engine.

Look for Captain Duane Giroir on an upcoming addition of 60 Minutes. It will be a twofer. The Captain will begin by setting the record straight about Clown Sullenberger and Dope Shults. Then he will dramatically make the case that the Philadelphia Starbucks thug police are actually more professional than the corrupt forces in Biloxi, MS and Pasadena, TX. Captain Giroir will prove once and for all that his sham arrests by those infamous departments were travesties. Look for swift DOJ action to clear his name.
 
Captain Shults

Very nice work on her part methinks. The only time I saw an explosive engine disintegration that threw pieces into the cabin was long decades back, and there was admittedly a brief instant of "Are you just FKN' kidding us here airplane?" to process, and unlike then she had a tragically injured/dying PAX as well to later consider. The media frenzy is obviously "gender biased" but that hardly diminishes she and her crew's good work in any way. Umm...OK, I'll just say it: Not only Nice job Pilot but even "GO Navy!" ;)

...Look for Captain Duane Giroir on an upcoming addition of 60 Minutes."...
On some special addition of "America's Most Wanted" criminals or what? ;) Being no stranger myself to casino/poker life I can only wonder just how truly stupid anyone must be to even imagine they could run some credit card fraud on establishments specifically designed to process money. One thing you can put perfect faith in is that if you deposit money to any semblance of a reputable casino for instant access or otherwise call upon markers that the accounting will be both trustable and precise. The most obviously enjoyable times result in a cashier's check or established transfer protocol to you, but there's NEVER any excuse for leaving ANY establishment with dishonered and unpaid debt. Why tha' heck should any even halfway sane person be wagering on a credit card in the first place?...Much less attempting FRAUD with such? If you can't afford to play then DON'T. That pathetic jackazz couldn't have done worse by attempting his infantile idiocy inside an actual bank.

Aww...Don't mind me. As I imminently descend below my very nostrils into the age 65 tarpit, my only lasting regret from the AWA/USair seniority nonsense is that I was unable to ever poke/pry/insult/cajole/whatever even so much as a single one of AWA's biggest/loudest mouthed, but clearly most pathetically spineless little punks out from under their "heroic spartan soldier"/"Army of Leonidas"/mommy's basement/etc keyboards for even a bit of properly wagered, competitive dancing in the actual/no BS/real world sky. The very word Pilot, at least long ago conveyed with it some personal sense of accomplished pride and even presumed some slight degree at least of a spine, but sadly no more in this sorry age of aviation "puppy mills"/etc, and actual flying didn't ever seem much to their "heroic" taste. I guess the very thought of even ever exceeding 30 degrees of bank was a bit much for the "Army of Leonidas" finest "soldiers"...umm..."pyluts". Oh well, at least I've hopefully some goodly number of years left to look back and properly laugh. I can definitely promise the mighty "This is Sparta!"..umm...mommy bought me my license "pyluts" that they'll always have a proper place in my heart for that much...not to mention for the infantile idiocy below of course. Oh well. I sincerely wish you all the very best and thank everyone it was my true privilege to fly with in the commercial aviation phase of life. I think it's soon time to just take some "toys" up to turn upside down and clear my aged sinuses with as routinely needed. God Bless. Take care. "Live long and prosper."...and BTW good luck. Some of you will sadly need Dame Fortune's blessings in the future since the pathetic likes of the below creature can somehow be nowadays termed not only a laughably supposed "Pilot" but even a "cap'n" to boot. ;)

P.S. The next time you're up for a contract, don't be so easily played for complete and utter fools yet again. After watching the amazingly craven capitulation of the first "merger contract", when it seems all instantly became pathetic village idiots instead of realizing that the pilot group was arguably in the best negotiating position EVER seen in the airline industry, well I realize that some strange degree of almost unimaginably clueless stupidity has become ingrained habit for too many when contract negotiation time comes around, but still; some suggested material for meditation.

ALL EDITIONS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1987 THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC B9 2 airline pilots surrender in drug-smuggling case COMPUTER SHOW & SALE Two America West Airlines pilots named in a federal conspiracy and racketeering indictment surrendered Thursday. Robert J. Russell, 47, of Tcmpe, and Carl Joe Wobser, 40, of Scotts-dalc, were arraigned in federal court on a six-count drug-related indictment handed up Wednesday by a grand jury. After the Dec. 2 arrest of America West pilot Eai'le P. Thurston, "both anticipated their arrests," said Tom Ilenzc, an attorney who represented both men at the hearing. Federal prosecutors agreed to Russell and Wobscr's appearance without their being arrested, Ilenze said. They were released on $100,000 bail each and ordered to surrender their passports. Russell, Wobser and Patrick were three members of a nine-man conspiracy that smuggled thousands of pounds of marijuana into the United States from Colombia, according to the indictment. If convicted, each man faces a sentence of up to life in prison and $4 million in fines. Thurston, a senior pilot and former vice president of America West, was arrested by agents of the U.S. Customs Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration at Sky Harbor International Airport shortly after he landed a Boeing 757 on an America West flight from New York. On Friday, Thurston was released on $100,000 bail in Phoenix. Federal agents have arrested three other suspects in the case in Texas and California. The remaining three suspects are being sought.

Move2CLT KOTHNY actually moving to NY to fly the B-777.
Imagine the dismay of the Natives as the america west pilots infiltrate like termites.
 
Still no reply from former america west CFM 56 engine experts.
Giroir, CJSzmal, Ray Burkett, Eric Kothny.
Why no comment on Southwest pilots and TOGA on damaged engine??
Arrested pilot Giroir went so far as to contact Fox News in Phoenix to claim Sully was not a hero, but a fraud and claim TOGA thrust would have saved a similarly damaged engine.
Your thoughts west engine experts?
