Very smooth move!

[quote]The Air Canada captain, identified in NTSB documents as Dimitrios Kisses, was supposed to report the San Francisco incident to the airline as soon as possible but didn’t because he was “very tired” and it was late.

He waited until the next day. By that time, the plane was used for another flight, and the audio loop on the cockpit voice recorder was taped over.[/quote]

Very convenient.

Not what the brain trust told us.

Being an experienced captain he was well aware of the "unwritten rule" that as airline pilots unions tell them not to make any statements to anyone until after going to bed and getting required rest. It would be interesting to know if he had called his rep or if he believed it was not really a big deal and a minor incident report would put it to bed. There has been so much bullshit generated by this and ass shields going up the whole thing has fallen into witch hunt. Everyone is so busy protecting their ass it has simply turned into a shit show and nothing has been accomplished.

The fact that such frantic ass-covering has gone on, betrays their
"nothing to see here" rhetoric as self-serving lies.

Half of what I've read on this has been the Oh poor me attitude towards the poor crew.


How dare they suffer this terrible scrutiny.  How traumatic.


No one give a f--- for the passengers.  Self loading cargo.

I love you digits and your work in this thread was up to your high standard of posting. but 13 feet is too close.

I'd have to flip a coin wether to jump on this dog pile at 100 but 13? Sorry but... At least force the crew to get their eyes checked

The entitled elites - the self-proclaimed Kings of Canadian Aviation -
maintain that they simply cannot make any mistakes, because they
are the Best of the Best.

That kind of attitude guarantees that they learn nothing, and are
doomed to repeat them.  We call that "stupid".

It must be an Air Canada thing, and if they had waited a couple of seconds longer to go around it would have been " A real hard landing "


Ya gotta love their slant on things.[/font]
