Thank you Dick. LOL! Glad my Dad
and the Air Force taught me how to land. David
Go Air Force!!!
Have not validated but received this from a former airline
pilot.
There is an implicit
assumption that Navy pilots know how to fly. They just never learned how to
land. Those team oriented gentle USAF pilots are worth so much
more.
‘No More,’ United Airlines
proposes culling of ex-Naval Aviators to reduce oversupply of pilots on
the post Corona payroll.
CHICAGO, IL — Shrinking
airplane operations aren’t the only change coming to United Airlines. In
the midst of a vast pilot surplus, United Airlines spokeswoman Janine Davidson
announced earlier today that the airline is considering culling all pilot
positions held by former Navy and Marine Aviators. This comes in the wake
of an incident involving United Flight 2921 from Orlando to Milwaukee that left
two passengers hospitalized and dozens of others stunned. The United Airlines
Boeing 737 was piloted by two former Naval Aviators—an F/A-18C and an E-2D
pilot.
“The plane came down so hard, I soiled myself,” reported passenger Dale
Gordons of Lake Okeechobee, FL. United Flight Attendant Stacie Sommers,
working aboard Flt 2921, recounts: “There was a 27 year old college
student in 12B who was crying hysterically. I went over to help and
noticed that his comfort gerbil was crushed under the weight of the obese man
next to him when the plane touched down. The other flight attendant
rushed to the flight deck to see what happened and as the door opened, the
pilots were high-fiving and making ‘one-wire’ jokes.”
United Airlines Chief Pilot, Jack McCann, understands that Naval
Aviators flew jets that regularly touch down in excess of 700 feet per minute
aboard their aircraft carriers. “These rates of descent are just too hard
on our passengers and too hard on our planes. We try to train these
tendencies out of them, but it’s a culture thing. They’re brainwashed and
it’s hard to teach old dogs new tricks.”
This seems to be the final straw to break the camel’s back. Last
month, United Airlines maintenance workers filed a formal grievance against
seven pilots, all former Naval Aviators, who were caught opening panels and
pre-flight inspecting their airplanes before their flights. “It’s a clear
gesture of distrust,” stated United Airlines Aircraft Mechanic Jason Dant.
Passengers are also becoming worried about safety practices when they see
pilots clambering over their airplanes and inspecting them.
Shannon Kelsey, of Laguna Beach, CA doesn’t feel comfortable seeing
airline pilots concerned over the plane’s status. “It’s like seeing the
barista at Starbucks sip your drink before serving it to you to make sure it’s
actually a Java Frappuccino with vegan almond milk. It makes me
uncomfortable and a little offended.”
Former Marine Aviator Mike Highway just wants to make sure his aircraft
is safe. “I’m not sure what these fuckin’ snowflakes are whining
about. How would you like to fly in a plane that’s probably been
inspected by some 12-year old that just graduated from Embry Riddle, makes $10
an hour and lives with his mom? I’m not signing for that shit without
double checking it. I didn’t do it in the Fleet, and I ain’t doing that
shit now.”
As far as
recruiting former military aviators for the future, Davidson says she is
encouraging more Air Force pilots to apply. “Former Air Force pilots have
been shown to gently guide their aircraft through the sky. They use the
automated flight control assistance capabilities on our planes more regularly,
and aren’t accustomed to performing hard carrier landings. Air Force
pilots also don’t perform pre-flight inspections and tend to be more
team-oriented. We prefer a trusting relationship between members of the
United Airlines Team and show our valued passengers that our pilots are just as
comfortable boarding alongside them from the airport jet-bridge.”
