Your point being what?

So what if he was a "Brand new DEC" it was a non-event you silly young fools.

What exactly happened that gets you riled up like a bunch of snotty nosed school girls?

Take your medicine before you put up bull**** on these threads.

A/C safely on ground and noone hurt. Green Hyd failure on downwind. Safe landing.

Now off to bed kiddies!!!

1 Hydraulic system failed is no big deal, it is clearly not an emergency, hence why the need for a PA. Especially as the failure is reputed to have happened downwind.

Flightcrew priority was to get the aircraft towed off the active of a busy airport. No one in danger, no problem. Quick PA after clearing the runway would be nice i guess.

Cos the Captain was a DEC, whats the freakin problem??? LM your statement was childish lets face it!

Question Question from a non-pilot

If the hydraulic failure was "no great deal", why was the aircraft not able to proceed to terminal on its own, having successfully completed the more exacting landing phase? Was it mechanically incapable of doing this, or "prevented" by EK procedures?

Exclamation

Green system powers nose wheel steering amongst other things and manual gear extension is required.

Getting all of your information from this web site shows the lack of Brain power on your side.
How do you know that there was no PA made?

Because someone so stated this on this thread as fact.

no PA announcement at all, only after landing did the cc ask passengers if they were ok
Where did he get his info from?

It is quite so easy to throw names back and forth behind the safety of your computer.
It is another to actually have some facts on your side and make an intellegent rebutal.

I know the Capt of said flight quite well.
Do you know any of the crew from that flight who actually can verify that "NO" PA was given?

Get a grip on reality, and try to show a bit of knowledge before jumping on the bandwagon with the rest of the village idiots.

Hey mach log did you call?

Do you want some hot towels to count the hairs up your deck mate's arse?

She was just stating something, perhpas if you guys were not so up it she wouldn't ask so many questions.
The dark ages are long gone, you can explain without offending anyone!

OK! Fearless leader you know who you remind me of?



Major reference, come down a notch and speak this Hauteur is not doing you any favours, drop the cheese!

You have established yourself as an offensive little s**t, but EXCELLENT on the FL judgement mate. Keep it coming.

Keep it up

Got to be the most entertaining thread so far. Don't hold back, surely we can be more insulting, inshaalah.

We'll see if they want to make it go that way, all it is is a question someone needs to answer, not to be bombarded with arrogance and insults evertime one asks one.

Cheers.

you're giving all us cabin crew a bad rap. all your posts are ridiculous and you contradict yourself all the time. give it up! not everyone feels the hatered you do towards the guys up front.

you sound like a looser!

mach-hog,

Sorry Lady M.

Think someone is trying to hijack my name sake.

Must be so disturbing that someone gives them their 2cenzworth

Mascaprone, no need for a rocket scientist, a peasant like you will do.

Ever heard of flossing? Surely you are costing EK too much if you have to revert to the clinic after each training flight!
