Obviously some of you work for this airline.

Pilot: Did you read the brief?

[Squawk]

Pilot: I don't see the bloody way points.

[Zeus-cat]

Pilot: You can end it now; I don't need to land.

[JensenPark]

Ahh Squawk and Zeus...you make my laugh out loud here in my office.

Well done and thanks.

oops.

Pilot: Anyone know how to slow these things down, and turn them around?

Co-pilot: You need to press CTRL+E, someone in the know told me.

Pussy? Pussy? ........(ahem), I will refrain from mentioning anything about those who......"hesitate".....to fly jets, although I do approve of the subject matter in some forms.

I should shut up I guess, as I don't wanna be "landfill" on the estate.

Regarding the airline crew, I think it had something to do with their conference with a hot new stewardess nicknamed "Double-ender" that may have distracted them.

And how bout the Delta guys that landed on a taxi way at Atlanta? Sheesh man.

This is just more proof that I am the prophet of the western world, as I predicted that the removal of the third cabin crew guy was gonna cause some SEVERE problems. You need three guys up there, I don't give a damn what any "economist" says. The same thing is wrong with with US airpower; the guys making the decisions don't know a bloody thing about the subject matter.

as far as im aware from being "in cockpit" a few times if the you ignore the nav system there is no audio warning just a fly to type indicator on it, same applies to the AI and HSI. the only obvious audio would be from air tragic

News reports now say both pilots had been using their laptops.

[Jabo]

I heard this on the news last night too - I think somebody may be in for a rocket.

[Friar]

I think somebody may be in for a rocket

Jez...how far past the landing area could they go if they get one of those ?

Here's the FAA letter revoking the captain's license....

Fair enough I guess. What were their excuses? A heated debate? Checking things on laptop? For 90+ mins!?!?

You snooze, you lose, literally!
