I guess the AA pilots that landed at LIT a couple of years agoduring a thunderstorm could never be UAL pilots...or should we even get...

No this can't happen at any other airline. It's called cockpit discipline, professionalism, or try TUNE, IDENTIFY AND MONITOR. Take your pick. This is basic flying that we all learned in flight school. Don't bring me and my peers down to this level and say that this can happen to anyone...

Its' quite amazing the amount of bottom dwellers that come out from beneath their rocks to dance in the street at the prospect of our demise. After further review however it might not be time to pop those corks just yet. What happened yesterday most likely will simply escalate the pace of the...

Nice post Big. Well said. This guys motivation is no different than 737 first officer Munn's in that their only motivation is to hope and pray that their personal fortunes will be enhanced by our demise. I love lettin em all down.

Why does everyone get so spun up when this guy spews his rhetoric? By now everyone should be able to see right through his BS. Regarding UAL, he will always take lemonaide and turn it into lemons. He knows full well the facts about UAL's progress yet spins things just to get a rise out of...
