Is this arrest going to affect the production output of Chief Pilots?

Yeah I'm going to have to change my motto now that it is tainted!

So... I'm unclear, with the balls to the wall, did he retain the control stick?

Or did it become a non-towered field?

Some things just shouldn't be done by amateurs. ;)

Also what was the runway condition code?

Contaminated.

I nominate the United Captain yesterday at ORD whose PA was 4-5 minutes long complaining about how it wasn't his fault they were late and it was unusual that the airport was allowing departures and arrivals on the same runway....

.....all on Tower frequency.

Honorable mention to his FO who should have stopped him no later than the 20 second mark.

Around what time was it? Sounds epic enough to try and find the tape. I'm assuming 9R?

Around 1325-1335. RWY 22L

Not to pile on, but I nominate the UAL Captain with the truck nuts hanging from his roller bag, strolling through MSP.

F/O was walking about 20 feet behind him...

Our takeoff time was 1329. It happened just as we were cleared to lineup and wait. So, narrowing it down, maybe 1326ish?

As in the fake ball sack that people hang off the back of their trucks? If so we need to skip right past Pro Standards and literally beat him. What in the hell is he thinking?! Way to represent the profession. Raging idiot :mad:

Thanks. I tried looking for about 5 minutes but the recordings don't appear to be working. Too bad!

The same. In "blushing pink" tone.

My guesses:

1. He wasn't.
2. That it was Sunday, and nobody in his chain of command would be in MSP.
3. That it was clever and funny.
4. That nobody would know which airline, although the "United" bag tag might give it away.
5. That it would repel the F/O? (if so...it seemed to be working)

I dunno. Not only did he make tool of the day, he achieved escape velocity. We all need to get back to the drawing board, this one is going to be tough to beat.

Pfft...easy! Someone needs to drag a blow-up doll through the terminal strapped to their rollaboard!

Sketchy, he will have to use a buddy pass. May or may not get on.

Call it an "emotional support doll". No gate agent will question it.

Probably the United Express Captain that just got arrested...carrying the truck nuts for practice before the impending surgery....:eek:

Definitely not if the doll is wearing leggings.

He doesn't have to worry. After seeing this, they won't be calling.

But when the Feds see the video, he might be getting a call from them. :eek:

Essential power, galley power, cargo heat and think?

How about getting a screening after a Rome, Italy flight to ATL and on your retirement flight.

The worst part about that video is the very beginning when Capt America says "I don't work". The rest was just painful.

Maybe you shouldn't be paid if it's not work?

Try adding a douchebag trucker hat to the mix.

True. Are 135 operators restricted like 121? I'll bet he does a mix of 91 and 135.

I'm not convinced that completing the video interview unscripted on your own for all to see is the smartest move for future career plans.
