DEI pilot?

United and SFO again. There’s a problem there.

Emma Goss, reporter - not bad:

Ultimately, pilot’s fault. Easy to get complacent.
United is certainly hurting for pilots. An AF friend, who was a navigator turned pilot (for around 2 years in the AF), got hired by United in a direct to Captain slot. He has a lot of nav time but not that much as an Aircraft Commander (I’m sure he met the mins for that reduced ATP thing). Sound head on his shoulders but it shows how desperate they are.

This is not uncommon....Bewhahahaha

I realize that the view from the cockpit window to the wingtip is poor, (if even possible on the big jets, like the 787 for example). But as expensive at jetliners are, you would think they’d at least have automotive style ‘backup’ cameras on each side: just behind the cockpit, and on the wingtips.

Sometimes they get in close proximity of other jets when still a ways from the gates.

Was the parked aircraft a Boeing?!! Those a-holes!

This is what happens when your ceo is a “didn’t earn it” drag queen.

Have you looked at who is the majority of ground crews, lately?
American airports resemble downtown Mogadishu, more than the do Des Moines.

Regardless of who did it or how they got their jobs, there’s no escaping the fact that this country has become just plain incompetent (no pun intended). It’s enough to make me long for the Carter years. At least we had good music back then.

Planes collide at Heathrow; not to be outdone, planes collide at sfo.

“Hello, this is your captain. Can anybody tell me what this button is for?”

Can’t believe something like that can happen in a stoner state.
