Lock the shoulder harness, stick forward, neutral lateral, opposite rudder. Continued rotation, high AOA with stagnant airspeed confirms a flat spin, eject.

None of that for me, my ring shrunk and is slightly too tight. Go figure.

I've noticed that the leather in some ancient belts can do that as well, even by a coupla' notches. As you said: Go figure. 🙂

Time to let Fodase and Move2 CLT back before this forum tanks even more.

Well...I see "Cupcake" lurking, so there's always the possibility of seeing yet more rough-tough "spartan" BS. 😉 Oh well. Time to exit for some semblance of honest work at present. Have a good one All. 🙂

Dave, would you call JJ and ask the mods to let him back?

 

[luvthe9]

By the way, has the Leonidas meet and greet been rescheduled yet?

 

[Claxon]

You "saved the East pilots", could you have not at least saved the pilot contract.

Didn't mesa and american eagle teach you guys anything but saving an airline while in new hire west ground school. ("we saved you.")

west pilots standing up in pilot meeting accusing (reporting) pilots of misdeeds to doug will be remembered forever. eddie chandler, your mentor, would be proud of you. At 6:20 in the following video, watch eddie help recruit other scabs like himself.

tbone, how did it go working with eddie.

Man, I thought gang loading the oxygen when you were totally hypoxic was tough enough.

Armando, the rest of the posters were referring to their ALPA recovery methodology. Are you bailing out of ALPA also?

Are you sure? I thought the last step of the ALPA recovery was:

SCREW YOU GUYS, I'VE GOT MINE!

That's SJS, not to be confused with Shiny Jet Syndrome. SJS (Senior Jerk Syndrome) usually has it's onset when you can comfortably hold a good line as captain. Sure signs are not caring about reserve rules and thinking everything should be seniority based. Around this time you begin to believe the retirement age for pilots should be raised to 80+. I have a feeling my first symptom will be:

If that's insufficient clinical evidence of tragically arrested development to satisfy any and all observers:



Anyone have any further questions?...Observations?....Explanations?....Notes?....Thoughts? 🙂

Bubba, get out of the house.

Guess what, it worked.

Won't it be nice to work for an airline rather than an airway? After the acquisition, we all will work for American Airlines and represented by a real union, APA.

 

[snapthis]

Yoo-hoo, Claxon. Don't, confuse this with a beverage bottled in South Carolina. Don't you want to get off your butt and work for a real airline? After all, American will look at the collection of regional airlines brought to the table the same way they look at Eagle.

Welcome to the club. We are American, they are the big dawg. They acquired US and the name, US Airways will be in the ash heap of history.

The shoe fits, doesn't it? Let's take a walk shall we? I've been down this path. We'll call it....
