US Airways pilot escorted out of airport by security for not wanting to fly unsafe A330
Would any commercial pilot here on FA fly a jet who's APU and hot battery bus have failed? (www.thestreet.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Please, i want feedback on this from commercial pilots so as to gauge whether or not this was as serious as the article makes it out to be. Thanks for your time
hmmmmmmmm
Reminds me of the JOKE, "We're sorry for the delay, The captain seemed to think there was a problem with one of the engines and it took us a while to find a new captain."
HAHAHAHA
Another example of pilots being given a bad name because they ch
Stupid smartphone keypad. Another example of pilots getting a bad name because they chose to make the safe decision. The apu being inop domestically would not be a bigissue. I have no idea about on an international flight. I would think it would have to be working to provide backup electrical energy if an engine failed. The hot battery could be a big issue because the emergency lights at typically on that bus. I probably would have made the same decision.
An AIRBUS. The Famous Airbus, yet!( again )
Everything Electric. Everything Computerized and backed up, by Backup Computers that are backed up, by another.
No Manual Override in the front office as in Douglas,Boeing,Lockheed Equipment. Even Fokker,& SAAB.
The "chief" Pilot should 'grow a pair'. Nice...Political Call on "his" part - entreating her to: "Fly the TransLant" (with downing discrepancies)
Professional Call by a PROFESSIONAL Skipper(ess)in my opinion.
A sage Captain;'stand up'type.. that doesn't/didn't look forward to any 'additional' mechanical Drama with An Airbus on a lengthy trip; and MADE___A Decision . Then - a humiliating escort? from The Terminal?
What's That all about?
Gambling and complacency (spit) has no place in Air opns.
It is demonstrably,historically, Deadly. Read COSTLY, Accountants.
c.e.o. ISOM: If SAFETY was "unequivocably,The Top Priority" ( Isom is quoted as saying )..this Scene shouldn't Be NEWS.
It's One thing to have a malfunction,even multiple malfunctions Enroute; that's what Pro's Train for.
It's 'another thing' to embark / airborne, with Downing Discrepancies when there is No pressing urgency as in an Emergency to get Underway.
There's no doubt in my mind the Passengers and their Families have quiet appreciation for Captain Wells' decision; in spite of Any annoying Inconveniences.
Hope there is Cohesion( one mind ) among the Drivers, and this "Union" in the face of alledged? unreasonableness when it comes to Aviation Safety.
IF THAT BE, - the Case.
Good Pilots Aren't: 'A DIME A DOZEN'. Neither are conscientious, stand-up Aircraft Cmdrs.that don't look left `n right when it comes to Aviation Operational Safety.
