Its kinda funny how It takes days, weeks or even years to get a job, but only seconds or minuets to have it taken away.
Hang in there.

Disco Stu,

I do hope you are correct, BUT..............

No matter what happens with this case, from now-on after every accident the powers-to-be will have to consider if criminal charges should be brought against ALL those involved. The reporters will also be all over this, as well. CYA is the name of this game.

I have this image that keeps going around my head. Some pilot declares an emergency because his gear will not come down. He lands gear up , there to meet the airplane are the fire rescue guys BUT standing beside them are the city POLICE. I may have an over active brain but I can not believe anyone t...

Cat Driver,
did you put a vest on? Or did you tell this guy to get lost?

The only pilots I have seen with a safety vest on are Air Can.

Trying to fly into YOW airspace.

WHAT-EVER

Family Guy, AND the rest of you of you know-it-alls The reason us BUSH MISFITS dont know about this code word is because WE DO NOT NEED TO. I say again WE DO NOT NEED TO. Now that I know what I know, it all makes sense, as to why I and alot of other pilots out there did NOT hear about this. If I und...

I have done some looking into this and there is NO reason that anyone flying the small stuff should have any clue about this. I am NOT going to get into details but A330 (and the rest of you high flyers (and ATC)) should have a look at your ops book(s) and learn how this word should really be used. ...

...

9000 hours and almost 20yrs in this crazy business AND have never heard about this.
(i guess you learn something new every day)

Also, its bad enough trying to keep from braking CARS, let-alone rules like this.

......i thought as much, but I had to ask.

Nothing is illegal until you get caught at it. Duty times are determined by what is written down. So if you rebuild the hangar, paint the doors, do anything else that is not written down, you did not do it. You were at home getting your beauty sleep. Commit aviation and that goes in the log book. A...

Pretend for a moment, You got to the hanger at 9:00am, wash some airplanes , do some paper work and its around 12:00 pm. Your BOSS comes up to you and says you have a charter. Now you and HE thinks you are good to around 2-3:00 in the am of the next day. I dont need the CARS TO TELL ME I am not safe...

Should ATC be blamed for any of this

"...UMM, guys where ya go-en"

Give London twr a call.
Let us know how it works out.

Griffon
...there you go getting all technical on me.

I am guessing that NASA is going nuts right about now. Think about it, these guys put someone into space, without masive rockets (fire and all that scary stuff) and then they came back to earth without the need of a HEAT-SHIELD. Thats just way cool (and safe), there is no dought in mind that RUTAN ...

N2
Never ever say NEVER.

Way to go RUTAN!

I havent got time to find the CARS that pertain to this but. If you did not get proper rest or you even feel like you did not have enough rest to go to work then YOU are required (by law) to tell your employer to get stuffed and then go back to bed. 8) not sure if it's legal, Yeah, that is also what...

Hey I use to like getting that yellow paper in the mail
............when I was just a private pilot.
(I hear its no longer yellow)

Beechball,
I make this CALL all the time, except in the US OF A.
