In reply to the discussion: 'Very telling': Trump agency under fire after posting Russian flag on Flag Day [View all]DENVERPOPS
(12,901 posts)I talked to many other middle aged pilots and this guy and another pilot from Wyoming were legends among United Pilots....
One pilot said: Did he ever tell you about his unbelievable landing in Chicago??????????????? He said that he pulled off a miraculous landing due to a plane malfunction, and United gave him six months off as a reward.......I told him that I had heard a lot of stories, mostly instructional, as he was teaching me, but that his adult daughter had told me there were some he didn't even tell them, and that was one of them......LOL She had to find out about it from another United Pilot at a party.............
I watch those Air Disaster series on the Discover channel, which are fascinating........Amazing the number of them are because of simple pilot errors/judgement, and the number of them that are because of lack of maintenance. or cost cutting on maintenance...... That was almost never the case until the "Greed is Good" 80's............I am waiting for the info on that Dreamliner that just crashed.......
