PF hit a pole. What race were the pilots?

>>2075151 (OP)
what are the chances there’s an a380 accident before they eventually get phased out

>>2075167
You mean a skywest lifer and a mesa lifer? Nice try.

There was that one in Australia where they couldn't shut the thrust off in an engine.

That private plane crash was wild. No landing gear. Didn't run more fuel out? WHy?

>>2075167
kek, had this happen mid flight once and both of us told the moralfag to fuck off

>>2075167
Ever notice how meowing intensifies around ATL?

5hrs newfag just starting out. I've decided to do my PPL mostly in a Cub and a Citabria. I was somewhat shocked to find out that only 4 out of the 18 CFIs at the school had the tailwheel endorsement. I can't understand why you wouldn't just get it if the school has the planes. It seems obviously cooler to me. I understand it may take longer to be able to solo but after you are a CFI and have hundreds of hours under your belt you're tellin me you're not gonna go fly the cool stuff just for the hell of it?

>>2075420
youll definitely be better off for it.

>>2075416
it's the delta pilots.....

>If I was given the controls of a 737 during the landing phase and the plane was still 10,000 feet in the air, what would likely be the outcome? Would I crash the plane?

If you were suddenly handed the controls at 10,000 feet with no guidance, the odds of a successful landing would be quite low, and a crash or severe accident would be a likely outcome.

JEWnited. Man they are going to have an abysmal safety record in the next 5-10 years as the diversity hires start upgrading to captain.

I fucking hate being in Radio Control.
>fuckton of overflies and inbound outbounds
>no radar scopes
>nothing but a clock, pen, and flightstrips
>static noise earraping you all day
>have to sift through the noise to catch a faint callsign
>have to repeat transmissions in a loud voice thrice on average because piece of shit pilots can barely speak english.
My throat hurts after every shift. I fucking hate this. I should've stayed in approach.

>>2075420
I think the CFIs just arent checked out to teach it, they might have the endorsement already. at my school you have to trained to teach in the tailwheels, teaching it is harder than just flying it

>>2075721
Nta, but um, sex? Im a 37 year old left seat regional pilot who has never had sex. No legacy captain will want me

this is not funny, sorry boomer

>>2075704
I asked, apparently some of them fly it but they are unwilling to instruct tailwheel because the likelihood of an incident is much higher which could affect the future airline career. Personally I am not deterred. The school also has a pitts and I absolutely need to get my ass in that thing once I git gud. Also there are only 3 now apparently and one of them is a semi retired old guy who doesn't really take regular students just does the "you are ok to solo" checkride for tailwheel. So really just 2 guys lol.
