Yep, and good on that controller at ORD, but in most cases they aren't watching everything that closely or can't even see everything that fine. It's not without precedent:
Shit that happens with Airlines, thread
- Thread starter KenW449
- Start date
Ground was watching probably because I asked for a progressive taxi and said I was unfamiliar with the airport. Dude was pissed, but he didn't tell me to write down a phone number when it was all over.
That 700 was one of ours. It was back in service a couple months later. They rebuilt damn near the entire tail.
Key words, "An optional extra". And while I was aware of the few examples that exist (I wrote a paper on them back in school advocating to get them on the crash recorder data), just think about the absolute huge fleets of things like A-320s and B-737s without, world-wide.They do, but they are an option. Probably need to get the moon roof and infotainment package to get them.
Which Aircraft Have Tail Cameras?
In addition to being a fun feature for passengers, these cameras are pilot aids too.simpleflying.com
Hell, put em in your door plugs...
That is NOT normal behavior. That guy needs another job.
The art of demanding attention in the air without turning into that guy is a fine one indeed. Some of the most professionally scathing dressing downs I've ever heard on a radio were delivered in a very calm, very deliberate manner without the slightest hint of aggravation and EVERYONE on the frequency knew that the recipient was in professional deep shit.

I dunno. That sounded like a typical colleague to colleague tone of voice for discussion in New England. What’s the big deal?
Not sure if I should put this here, or in the corporations thread, but it looks like Boeing is trying to hire scabs.

I wouldn't go to Wichita for 100 an hour. Certainly not contract work, and definitely not to get my knees broken by a union machinist. Besides, my last aviation job, was my last aviation job.
I hope the union breaks Boeing.

Investigators: American Eagle Embraer E170 Crew That Landed On The Wrong Runway At Chicago O'Hare Airport Had ILS Autotuning Issues
The NTSB pointed out that ATC never informed the Envoy Air about their runway misalignment.

pilots should have informed ATC that their ILS system didn't autotune
ATC should have informed pilots that their shit was apparently broken in that they were approaching the wrong runway
at least nothing untoward happened as ATC at least confirmed that there was no traffic conflict on the wrong runway after all
Duckworth said airlines routinely damage her own wheelchairs and others. In fact, Duckworth says they broke 892 wheelchairs in a single month last year. "Imagine if the American public saw that the airlines broke 892 pairs of legs in a single month. There would be hue and cry, but there hasn't been."

Possibly. But definitely going to tan your hide when you're dead, Fred.

My last wishes are to be turned into a designer skin suit.
I would like the rest of my body to be scattered over the city...
but not cremated.
In bite sized chunks?
I would prefer a fine mist that could get into the lungs, I would like to be remembered.
Hard to get that really efficient spread of biomaterials without pre-shredding I feel. You need to be atomised with a propellant.
No reason to rule out pre-processing. I was thinking something along the lines of freeze and mill, like the visible woman, dump frozen meat swarf from a helicopter.

In iraq I had an A-10 assist with a 4-5 man element in the middle of a 10ish acre orchard, he could see them on thermals and asked what ordinance. I replied "dealers choice." he mag dumped all the willie pete he had, and it was the most horrifying thing to witness from several hundred yards away.
Were they broken down into their most basic elements?
Lucky you didn't get smoked. I've read a lot of accounts of them dropping ordinance on friendlies and in the wrong spot in Iraq...stuff that you'd think would have been a thing of the past, but evidently not.
Casual war crimes…
Even worse, they were wearing socks with sandals....
