Umm...Apologies folks, but I just can't seem to be much impressed by any self-styled little infantile "Army" of supposed "Spartans". The USA has lost thousands of our most precious young in actual battle in recent years, and these pitiful little punks with their "heroic" fantasies and supposed "bling" just make me sick.
You are a complete idiot. Get a grip, you are as annoying as hell. You know what's sad about you. You don't realize how embarrassing you are with your nonsense.. I miss fifidriver. He put you in your place when you stuck you foot in your mouth as usual. You don't know as much as you think you do. EC made a complete fool out of you tonight. Do yourself a favor and know when to STFU!

Ahhh... Eastholius Moronicus... The prodigious little poo factory himself.
This last little missive from Moronville illustrates perfectly, what's so sadly lacking in both your intellect and your integrity. You obviously labor under the false assumption that utilizing a few multi-syllabic words makes you appear astute and principled. You are neither.
First; it was an A320, the thrust reverser was inoperative, however, they are NOT wired to prevent inadvertent deployment. Additionally, the procedure at the time was not to operate both reverse levers simultaneously, as it is now, but to leave the inoperative lever down and activate only the operative reverser. The pilot in question apparently forgot that his reverser was inoperative until shortly after touchdown, and then in an apparent attempt to stow the inoperative lever only, inadvertently placed the thrust lever in question to the "climb" detent.
The aircraft exited the runway. The procedure was amended.
Your first problem is a lack of integrity. You did not make a mistake and say it was a B737, you did not know what you were talking about, but you had no qualms about spewing bulls__t from your keyboard. This is why a fairly common reaction to you online is an immediate "minus one". I suspect that it probably happens that way in real life too.
Your second issue is a lack of logic. I'm not sure if the circuits are just addled with alcohol, but your idea that safety, or a safety record is just a matter of "what you've been is extremely lucky, and nothing more, period.", is profoundly ignorant.
I believe that most thinking aviators realize implicitly, that an element of luck, or lack thereof, and an element of preparedness are BOTH inherent in an excellent safety record. Think, Fate is the Hunter, the "golden BB" or what have you versus a proactive exercise of safety related policies and programs.
America West offered such things as: a "no-fly" list, no jeopardy training, additional sim time if requested, an ASAP (self reporting) program, a fatigue policy, a sympathetic Chief Pilot's office and so forth.
The third problem that you have is a profound inability to self-critique, a classic symptom of a narcissistic personality disorder. If the issue in question is yourself, your ex-airline or your ex-branch of military service, you exhibit a distinct dishonesty or inability to discuss sometimes unpleasant realities, behaviors and actions.
Shall we discuss the Fairchild B52 and it's aircraft commander v.s. Al Haynes?
KTGSD!!!
