[Agent Mulder]

news from Nankantraz, after 3 heavy llandings in one month, the 777 management have banned all 777 f/o from landing!Captins only to do the landings!!

Talent acquisition and retainment is directly correlated with compensation.

i heard it was a easy beast to land aswell!put the pilots on nthe MD11 for a year, then they will learn how to land properley

Hey airbus2boeing, which one did you end up joining - red tail or green tail in hkg?

[galdian]

To me says nothing about the quality of the pilots but volumes about the training within the airline. :suspect:

So what happens now?? In two years, all F/O's having done no manipulation in the landing phase ("you reckon take-offs can be tricky, wait until you've seen an approach and landing get really f**ked up!") - let's say the Captains keels over and is no longer of this earth; the news headline:

"trained, professional First Officer pilot crashes perfectly safe aircraft whilst attempting almost impossible flight manoeuvre - landing!" :p

God bless Pprune - allows me to hear things that make me laugh (sometimes at humour, sometimes at stupidity) that I would otherwise miss.
Trust the management boyo's got a bonus for their latest demonstration of "leadership!" :ok:

If you can't land a 777 then give up flying.

Neither :oh:

Landing the B777....couldn't be any easier.

[Jandakot]

So they need to hire some pilot as 777 F/O now! I think a guy can't land an aircraft we couldn't call him a pilot.

[satumare]

Hi ACMS,

Of course I can land the bloody B777....did your sense of humor left you to do the walkaround?

Cheers

QANTAS B717 WRITTEN OFF? AFTER A "HEAVY LANDING" IN DARWIN FEBRUARY 7TH. :ouch:

[Agent Mulder]

so now most of the 777 F/O's at Eva have not landed for over 30 days, its a recipee for disaster! The compnay is really going down the toilet, 2 747 been disposed, pilots still leaving in droves, no expansion planes what so ever, even the dynasty pilots got a pay rise.:ugh:
