Why is the southwest pilot a HERO???
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 19th, 2018 1:47 PM Author: Vibrant yarmulke Simply manage to not crash an airliner, which your fucking job, and you are a “hero”? Would the average, non-hero pilot have been expected to say “ah fuck it” after losing one engine and parachute out the door? Or is this really just political correctness since we called Sully a “hero” and she is a woman. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953957&forum_id=2#35875237) |

Date: April 19th, 2018 2:13 PM Author: Vibrant yarmulke Sully performed a much more impressive feat than simply landing a plane on a runway. Oooooo what amazing skill this woman had! Sully was just doing his job, but he actually did put himself in danger since by landing in water there’s is a good chance the cockpit will get torn under the plane and shredded to pieces.

Date: April 19th, 2018 2:19 PM Author: Vibrant yarmulke “A twin engine plane can fly perfectly well on one engine. In fact it can even take-off and land with just one engine. Losing an engine in flight is not a particularly serious problem, the pilots are trained to fly the aircraft should an engine fail. If an engine did fail in flight, the pilots would carry out a number of checklists to ensure the engine is secure and safe, and then as a precaution, land at a nearby suitable airport – unfortunately this is unlikely to be your destination!” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953957&forum_id=2#35875537) |

Date: April 19th, 2018 10:07 PM Author: Floppy obsidian water buffalo institution The 737-700 is ETOPS rated, so it can maintain altitude for hours with just a single engine. They're allowed to fly anywhere within 3 hours of single engine flight time from an alternate airport. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953957&forum_id=2#35878192) |

Date: April 19th, 2018 10:22 PM Author: Marvelous coffee pot gaping It's probably more about her composure and maintaining protocol and sticking to her training that makes this a feel good story.
I don't see the animosity towards her with this. Call her a hero or a good pilot.
She did her job.
You have to have a certain set of skills to do what she did and most of us don't have that.
End of story. |

Date: April 19th, 2018 10:24 PM Author: Floppy obsidian water buffalo institution Again, I don't disagree. The issue I have is the (((media))) running this story ragged when she did exactly what every other licensed ATP in the US would do. They don't even bother mentioning her co-pilot or the FAs who had just as much of a role in the outcome as she did. In fact, CRM means that the co-pilot probably did more of the actual flying of the plane than she did! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953957&forum_id=2#35878296) |

|
Date: April 19th, 2018 10:29 PM Author: Marvelous coffee pot gaping I'm not agreeing or disagreeing. I'm just saying that this pilot kept herself calm and collected.
Why freak out because it was a woman?
Why do you have to react negatively because she's getting more attention than a male pilot that may or may not have done the same thing with proper training?
So what to all of it. |
