JetBlue Plane Landed with Parking Brake On {AOL Travel News}
Sep 23rd 2010 4:34PM THE WHOLE IDEA OF COCKPIT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IS THAT FOR EVERY ITEM ON THE CHECK LIST IT IS REQUIRED FOR THE CREW TO AUDIBLE RESPOND TO CHALLANGE AND RESPOND TO ALL ITMES ON THE LIST, BEFORE TAKEOFF, PREDESCENT CHEKC LIST, APP LIST AND APP BRIEFING ALL REQUIRE A CHALLANGE AND RESPONSE FROM EACH COCKPIT CREWMEMBER AND THE VOICE RECORDER IS THER TO ENSURE THIS IS ALWAYS DONE. NO CHITCHAT BELOW 10,000 FEET AGL AND ALL ITEMS ARE REQUIRED. I HAVE NEVER FLOWN AIRBUS EQUIPMENT BUT I ASSUME IS REQUIRES SOMEONE TO PULL AN DKNOB OR HANDLE AND PUCH THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE BUT I MAY BE WRONG ON THIS EQUIPMENT BUT I DOUBT IT!
Man jailed after faking being a Qantas aircraft engineer {Gadling}
Dec 23rd 2008 4:05PM I HAVE BEENAN AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT FOR OVER 35 YRS AND HAVE HEARD STORIES LIKE THIS IN THE PAST. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE LIKE THIS CAUSE BAD REPUTATIONS FOR ALL THE REST OF US, THAT IN FACT SPEND YRS STUDING AND LEARNING EVERYTHING NECESSARY TO BECOME CERTIFIED AS PILOTS ENGINEERS AND OR MECHANICS. IT TAKES A SACRAFICE OF TIME, EFFORT, MONEY AND COMMITTMENT TO TRAINING IN CIVILIAN AND OR MILITARY TO ACCOMPLISH THESE GOALS. I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY PEOPLE WHO ARE CAPABLE OF DOING THESE TYPES OF CAREER FIELDS WITH KNOWLEDGE DONT GO AHEAD AND GET THE CERTIFICATES FROM THE GOVERNING AUTHORTIES JUST LIKE ALL THE REST OF US HAVE HAD TO DO AND ENJOY ALL THE BENIFITS THAT THESE TYPES OF CAREERS OFFER AND NOT ENDAGER THEMSELVES, THEIR FREEDOMS, THEIR FAMLIES AND THEIR FUTURES! IT JUST TAKES A WRITTEN TEST AND A PRATICAL TEST AND YOU HAVE THE CERTIFICATE IN YOUR HAND ARE ARE NOW ABLE TO DO YOUR JOB WITH PROFESSIONLISIM AND SAFETY WITH RESPECT FROM YOUR PEERS AND THE UNIFORMED PUBLIC!
Bah humbug! Northern Virginia mall gives Santa the boot! {WalletPop}
Oct 23rd 2008 11:25AM ALMOST EVERY SINGLE MARINE STATIONED AT QUANTICO MCB AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON TAKES THEIR FAMILY TO TYSON'S CORNER MALL. IT IS A TRADITION FOR THE MARINE'S FAMILIES TO HAVE THEIR KIDS SIT ON THAT SPECIFIC SANTA'S LAP! ALL THE MARINES STATIONED OVERSEAS, IN HARMS WAY DEFENDING OUR FREEDOMS CARRY THOSE PICTURES WITH THEM AS A REMINDER OF THEIR FAMILY AND THE HOLIDAY AND THE REASON THEY ARE DEFENDING OUR COUNTRY AND ALL OTHER PEOPLES OF THE WORLDS BASIC FREEDOMS AND HUMAN RIGHTS. YOUR COMPANY HAS MADE A HUGH MISTAKE BY FIRING THIS MAN WHO HAD A WRITTEN CONTRACT WITH YOUR COMPANY TILL THE YEAR 2012. WITHOUT FAIL ALL THE MARINES STATIONED AT QUANTICO WILL READ THIS STORY AND BE VERY UPSET WITH NOT ONLY WHAT YOU DID, BUT HOW DID THIS LETTING GO OF THIS FAMILY TRADITION SANTA THAT HAS FOR YEARS HELD THE CHILDREN OF THE MARINES STATIONED OVERSEAS DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOMS. THE MARINE CORPS IS BUILT UPON TRADITION, INTEGRITY, HONOR. DO NOT THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT YOUR MEDIA RELATIONS WILL NOT BE AFFECTED IN A NEGATIVE FASHION FOR NOT UPHOLDING TRADITION AND DEFACTING HONOR BY VIOLATING A MANS CONTRACT! THIS KIND OF EXPEDIENT BEHAVIOR IS WHAT HAS BROUGHT THE COUNTY INTO THE FINANCIAL MESS IT IS IN RIGHT NOW! STOP AND THINK FOR A MOMENT AND RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! SEMPER FI DELIS!
Battle of the Brands: Pizza Hut vs. Domino's {BloggingStocks}
Apr 29th 2008 6:38PM EXTREMELY IMPORTANT LIFE OR DEATH MESSAGE ABOUT PIZZA HUT
I WOULD NOT CARE IF PIZZA HUT WERE THE BEST PIZZA ON EARTH; PIZZA HUT INC. HAS VIOLATED ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES CIVIL RIGHTS BY FIRING HIM BECAUSE HE DEFENDED HIMSELF WHEN HE WAS ROBBED, AT GUN POINT. THE EMPLOYEE HAD A LEGAL CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT LICENSES AND STOPPED THE ROBBERY WITH HIS LEGAL FIREARM! HOWEVER, THE EMPLOYEE WAS THEN FIRED BY PIZZA HUT, BECAUSE HE EXCERISED HIS CIVIL RIGHTS, SECOND AMDNT, WHILE DOING HIS VERY DANGEROURS JOBS IN AMERICA, DELIVERY OF PIZZA’S! THERE FORE I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANYTHING THAT EITHER SUPPORTS PIZZA HUT OR PEPSICO INC, THE PARENT COMPANY OF PIZZA HUT!
PIZZA HUT HAS VIOLATED THIS EMPLOYEES CIVIL RIGHTS AND THEY WOULD DO THE SAME TO YOU.
LETS SAY YOU WERE ON THEIR PORPERTY AND YOU GET JUMPED AND ROBBED AND YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A LEGALLY OWNED AND LEGALLY CARRIED FIREARM, TO PROTECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AND WHEN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF, ON PIZZA HUT PROPERTY AGAINST FATAL HARM YOU WILL BE SUED BY PIZZA HUT, BECAUSE YOU HAVE PROTECTED YOURSELF FROM DEATH TO YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. IF YOU BUY PIZZA HUT PRODUCTS, YOU WILL BE SUPPORTING A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN YOUR RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF, YOU ARE FAMILY, YOUR KIDS OR ANYONE ELSE. PEPSICO/PIZZA HUT, KFC, TACO BELL, THEY ALL WILL SUE YOU IF YOU HAVE A LEGALLY OWNED, LEGALLY CARRIED, FIREARM, AND USE IT TO PROTECT YOUSELF OR YOU FAMILY!
PIZZA HUT NEEDS TO BE BLACK BALLED, UNTIL THEY REHIRE, AND APLOGIZE TO THE EMPLOYEE, THEY FIRED AND PAY HIM DAMAGES AND APLOGIZE TO THE AMERICAN LAW ABIDING PUBLIC THAT HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE LAWLESS CRIMINALS THAT WOULD JUST AS SOON KILLS US IF THEY COULD, BUT WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO PROTECT OUSELVES NOR OUR FAMILIES, NOR OUR CIVIL RIGHTS............. ON PIZZA HUT PROPERTY,.NO WAY WILL I EVER BUY ANYTHING AGAIN FROM PIZZA HUT, AND I HOPE ALL OF YOU JOIN ME IN THIS FIGHTING THIS TRAVISITY AGAINST AMERCIANS RIGHTS, TO PROTECT THEMSELVES! NO PIZZA HUT!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!
I AM A LITTLE HOT ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND FRANKLY SHOCKED THAT THE REST OF AMERICA HAS NOT GONE UP IN RIGHTEOUS INDIGNIATION ABOUT THIS DIRECT AFFRONT TO ONE OF OUR CONSTITUIONAL GRANTED RIGHTS! HAS ALL OF AMERICA FALLEN ASLEEP........DO WE ALL WANT TO BECOME VICTIMS LIKE THE VA TECH MASSACARE AND DO NOTHING TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. IF WE ALLOW CORPORATE AMERICA TO USURP OUR CONSTITUIONAL RIGHTS WE ARE NO LONGER A FREE NATION AND WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE! I AM NOT A GUN NUT. I AM NOT A RADICAL, I AM SOME ONE WHO HAD MY FATHER MURDERED IN HIS OWN HOME IN SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA BY A DRUG CRAZED COCAINE ADDICT THAT WANTED MY PARENTS MONEY AND MY MOTHER WAS ONLY SAVED, BECAUSE THE PROFESSORS POSITION SHE HELD AT THE UNIVERITY, WAS INVOLVED IN FALL ENROLLEMNT, SO SHE WAS ON CAMPUS INSTEAD OF HOME WITH MY DAD. WE DONT HAVE TO BE JOHN WAYNES, WE DONT HAVE TO BE RAMBOS, WE JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW, AND WHEN TO PROTECT OUR MOST PRCEIOUS ASSETS FOR EACH OF THAT AND US IS OUR FAMLIES AND OUR OWN LIVES! DO NOT SUPPORT PIZZA HUT AND YOU WILL BE SENDING A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THEM THAT "YOU CAN NOT TAKE AWAY OUR CONSTITUIONAL RIGHTS AND NOT PAY THE PRICE AT THE PLACE IT HURTS YOUR COMPANY MOST...CASH REGISTER!
