SWA Pilot viloates FAR"s

Last night, only a few minutes before landing, the cockpit advised us of the current Superbowl score (like I care :rolleyes: ). I'm sure we were lower than 10,000 feet. Whom do I call to report this gross violation of safety? :rolleyes:

Besides this guy being one major chump and various other personal issues, he has posted several photos that are a violation of the sterile cockpit rule. The photo of Annapolis is a glaring example. I wonder what the FAA would have to say about these? Why was the Captain allowing him to take pics below 10K and on the taxiway?



Good grief. Get a life!

Get a life? Perhaps those paying passengers in the back of the Herb TuR& would expect that for $49 bucks they would not only get transportation but also SAFE transportation. Instead they get a guy that flaunts his lack of respect for the FAR's and his ego fed "I can fly an ILS better than anyone!" attitude. This is exact type of behaviour that you people like to say is not happening at SWA. Yet you have 2 runway overruns and now this clown painting the real picture of SWA. A bunch of non-professional, FAR violating, ego fed morons.

If SWA is such a stand up place. This guy should be tarred and feathered for his illustration of the SWA pilot group. Again he is a chump.

Once again, maybe you would be so kind as to cite your source that this guy ISN'T being tarred and feathered, or should SWA's chief pilot start a post on airwhiners.net to reveal their disciplinary action? How many SWA pilots have protrayed this guy as a hero in this thread?

BTW, you never responed why you never use Hoot Gibson as an example of the SWA pilot group...why is this?

Anybody that goes by the name Hoot is a joke unto himself.

I kind of figured that'd be your reply. Do a little google search on Hoot Gibson before you proclaim him a joke. He's not only type rated in Cessna's and Boeings, but also a space shuttle, plus, if you look at his bio, you might be surprised to see the word "safety" mentioned numerous times. But that's okay...."Hoot" is a joke. A far better qualified joke than "magsau" however.

WOW a Space Shuttle!!! Really Really. Golly Gee that is neato.

Again if you go by a call sign out of the military or a nickname you got some ego problems. I bet SWA loves him. The dry lake bed is probably about adequate for a SWA approach.

Apparently, if you go by "magsau" you've got even more ego problems. Guess I'd rather have a "top gun" in the left seat than a mental case.

Do you know what magsau is? It is a random combination of letters. As far as "top gun" goes, having done both military and civilian flying, the transfer of skills from fighters to carriers is not the same. In a fighter you are flying airplanes with tremendous thrust to weight advantages versus an airliner. You are more intent to killing and trying not to be killed in a fighter. Last time I checked there were no weapons attached to the airliner I fly. Of course you have stars in your eyes over a shuttle pilot. Good for you. I am sure he could use a groupy.

Sorry "maverick" but you are dangerous. Perhaps Top Gun is a good analogy of SWA pilots. Didn't he have a problem complying with the rules and got in trouble for buzzing the tower and grounded for a questionable crash? You may just have your wish rewarded KC.

I'm sure you downplayed your military experience during your interview with United...after all...what you did, and what you were applying for were not the same...I can hear it now..."Why yes, I piloted F14's, but that doesn't matter here. What matters is that I am instrument rated in a Cessna 172, so I'd prefer you focus on that experience rather than my fighter jock experience. After all, the flying is so totally different..." Methinks you had much more of a "Maverick" swagger during your UAL interview than you want to admit.
