I've said it before and I'll say it again;

REAL MEN land where ever they WANT TO!

(Take that, you stupid runway! )

I would love to have heard the conversation when they touched down...

"Geez, for a MAC runway...this sure looks short!"

My favorite is the Pinnacle CVR after the overrun in TVC- one of the best pilots i know, but got totally hosed by the idiots in charge in trying to cover their stupidity (it finally came out in the colgan accident and now in the new duty rules):

Bill, or whatever your name is, here's the deal. This is a forum for Delta pilots to discuss, debate and inform other Delta pilots about issues, policy, procedures, rumors, etc. And other well-meaning people to engage in discussion. That's why it's called a web board.

You have routinely raised the point that APC is an anonymous web board. That is true. However, what an anonymous web board also allows is someone anonymously representing themselves fraudulently. I truly hope you are some kid in his mom's basement. If not, and you really are a Delta pilot, you somehow slipped through the cracks. That is unfortunate.

I just banned Bill, and that is a good deal.

This all makes sense to me. There were 2 Lumbergs in the movie Office Space. Coincidence?

When I was flying C-141s at CHS in the late 1980's we had a crew (from our sister squadron I must admit) that shot an approach to the same civil airfield by accident, realized it on very short final, and went around to recover to McDill without incident. Only problem: they were in the McDill O Club bar having drinks when the news on the bars TV showed them approaching the civil field, almost landing, and going around to the REAL McDill.

AC called CHS HQ and they fessed up. A new crew flew down and recovered the jet and busted crew.

Plus one hoser, your's shouldn't have been deleted and mine shouldn't have. Calling a spade a spade shouldn't get posts deleted.

I feel vindicated. I had a feeling about it. I asked this question on 6/24/2012 in post #39 in the O'Malley's rebuttal letter to C20 thread. He kept asking to have the letter posted. I wondered why he didn't go and read it at DALPA.

Here is his response in post #41 in the same thread.

"Of course I am, but I stay away from the Dalpa board mostly. Talk about a viper pit! A bunch of grouchy meanies on there. I prefer the nice, laid back, family style board called APC. Ahhhhh, like a breath of fresh air...."

Honestly, I thought he was a management pogue. Apologies to all the management pogues out in APC land.

I just "ignored" BL, but it showed him banned. Is that correct.
