Tortured Soul Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Does anyone else think this huge screw-up could have been mitigated if the pilot had only said "I'm not certified to land" instead of "I'm not qualified?" They do have different meanings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have different meanings... In either case, the guy did the right thing here. If you've got peoples' lives in your hands and you don't feel confident, it's best to not go for it. If anything, it's the airline's fault for not reading the weather report and sending the guy up in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the airlines fault for letting a level 5 pilot even get behind the wheel of a plane. Fut the Wuck is that about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Unfortunately, I'm not qualified to land the plane in Paris. They are asking for a level two qualification and I only have a level five Dude shoulda killed more orcs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellDressed Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 There are times in life when one has to just shut up and "give it a go", that was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 There are times in life when one has to just shut up and "give it a go", that was one of them. Yeah, when you're flying an airplane full of passengers, landing in a heavy fog, THAT'S the time to say "What the hell, let's go for it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Play a real game. www.warhammeronline.com I'm holding off on warhammer. I've had bad luck with new MMOs starting off really good then poor to none existent mid to upper level content. Case in point, DAoC, which is produced by the same company as Warhammer (and from what i've heard, Warhammer is a bastard stepchild of DAoC and WoW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
