ORD is a jungle, even for this former United pilot!
l have a bad feeling these poor bastards flew all the way from Doha to Atlanta and then Chicago?
Talking about being so fatigued, you turn into a taxiway not authorized for your aircraft and perhaps with some help from a sleepy Ground Controller you find that damn light pole that jumps in front of you out of nowhere and wrap your wing around it!
l have no idea what happened nor l want blame anyone without knowing al the facts. But for QR to fire these guys on the spot, without any investigation is petty ****ty, l think.
l trained a couple of QR 777 crews when they first got them and a little familiar with their “off with their heads” culture. Those of you on Linkdin may want to have some fun finding my post about this, and the beatings l received from non pilots and obviously QR shills for suggesting fatigue may have been a part in this unfortunate incident.
lf you’ve never fallen asleep inside the Marker, hand flying a 707, don’t bother! 😎
