Is this the New World?A couple days ago I received yet another letter with concerns regarding aviation safety. This came shortly after a Delta check airman voiced his concerns that Delta had changed their A330 manuals to an FCOM without adequate training. An FCOM is compilation of all manuals into one, where the information is difficult to access. I'm told all the company did was provide some online information, with plans to train everyone how to use it when they arrive to recurrent. The concer

“As a former 747 captain for Northwest Airlines,Pam’s low-pitched voice served her well comingfrom the flight deck to calm and reassure her passengers.”Retired from flying Pam has been using her incredible voice to narrate audio books and so much more.

Has Found a Website! I will still be keeping this site alive, because there are over 12 years of information is buried within. But, I don't want anyone to miss my posts... so here are some links to my writings. This is: DELTA's Effort to Silence MeWhy is Delta trying to silence me? Well, because I am deeply concerned that James Graham, one of the two individuals I provided the safety report to in 2016, who subsequently paid a doctor to silence me, was promoted to CEO
The old saying,“Any landing you walk away from is a good landing”might be wrong.I’m surprised that anyone survived this crash, but I am not surprised that this event happened. This was not an “if” but a “when.” This was a training issue that resulted in pilot error. Fast, no flare, they slammed into the runway. But if we don't properly train pilots to land in strong winds, or how to identify when to go around, or how to do so, because that might cut into executives profit, then we failed these p
I Assign Blame to FAAPhoto from the Postal MillennialWhy does it take deathto solve a "known" problem?Do not blame the pilots for accepting runway 33, as pilots daily accommodate runway change requests safely. Do not blame the helicopter pilots because they were doing training and human error is inevitable. Do not even blame the lights of the city, the night, night goggles, or a controller for managing two runways. These are all known and ongoing facts of daily operations. Blame the FAA! Why? Th
Four Minutes Before Impact! On December 31, 2024 I wrote the post, a Sad End to 2024, and I speculated what I thought happened with the December 29, Jeju crash, based upon the facts we knew. They were fast, they did not extend flaps, no gear, and no communication beyond a Mayday, and go around, and we know they were not incapacitated because they turned and landed on the centerline of a runway in the opposite direction, but sadly they hit a wall. But that wall in any other city could

The Jeju CrashWhen Pilots PanicFrom a pilot's perspective there is not a damn thing we can do if our plane is shot out of the sky. However, when there is a bird strike, that's a different story. This is when our training takes over. While a bird strike could be catastrophic at the wrong time, pilots should have the emotional stability and requisite training to fly the plane. In my opinion, these pilots panicked. I have not seen footage of their first arrival. Were they configured for
Details Alleged In the Naked and Masturbating SWA Captain Haak Case Public filings recently emerged in the Christine Janning v. SWA and SWAPA case alleging Southwest System Chief Pilot, David Newton, attempted to obstruct the FBI’s Federal investigation. Apparently, in the hours just after learning that Janning had reported Captain Haak’s crimes to the FBI, David Newton wrote an email to multiple employees revealing Janning’s participation in the FBI investigation, sharing both her name an
You Can't do that! Last week the world listened to the recording of the Delta Captain of Fight 564 who departed on a redeye flight, lost the autopilot, autothrust, and received a TAT probe message. They wanted to return, and the argument began as to the reason why he was returning, and what was legal to say or not.Delta Flight 564 ReturnThe captain said he was departing Flight Level 1500, but that could have been due to the high stress, or maybe he didn’t know when flight levels began. Airl
The legal battle is over for an Alaska Airlines mechanic and his inadvertent consumption of THC.On October 7th 2023, I posted an article, Airline’s Random Drug Testing, regarding an Alaska Airlines Mechanic who tested positive for THC, the main psychoactive compound in marijuana. The consumption was inadvertent at a neighborhood block party. It was undisputed that he had THC in his system, and Alaska has a zero tolerance policy for drugs. This mechanic lives and works in Washington State, where
How is This Even Possible?The ASAP program at SWA is compromised in more ways that one!!Note to pilots everywhere: Don't believe what you write is confidential in the ASAP system. Pilots at SWA are in fact being disciplined. SWAPA's Casey Murray, President, and Tom Nekouei, Vice President, sent a memo to the pilot group discussing the many challenges and highlighted:"In the case of the ASAP, SWAPA has had to put the Company on notice on multiple occasions due to their propensity to schedule
