Just got back from the airport.
My BVI buddy was on a flight out of Washington that was scheduled to
arrive
Halifax at 2108 hrs.
When I started out, I had to wipe a skim of ice from the windows...a bad
sign. Talk about pea soup fog......
I was travelling at 80km and sometimes dipping down to 70 and even 60km..
Big trucks whipping by kicking up crap all over my windshield. My eyesight
is getting bad at night in the best conditions, let alone like this.
Oh yeah..that wimpy 'merican pilot circled our airport a few times and
then
ran back toHartford, Connecticut.
Now I'll have to go back out tomorrow. If his plane comes in at night,
I'll
tell him to jump the airport bus and I'll meet him at a downtown hotel.
Safer for all concerned.

You're acting more like your lover/master/clone Harry every day.
Please answer the following:

1. How do you know that the pilot was American?
2. By "'merican" did you mean the United States?
3. While the pilot has ultimate control, do you think it was his
decision alone to not land at Halifax?
4. Do you really think that a well trained pilot should put his
passengers, crew, and expensive plane at risk just so some idiot in
Halifax won't call him "whimpy"?
5. Did you fetch your son beer while you were out?

mmmmm "Did you fetch your son beer while you were out?"
As talented and multi-tasking as I am...that would be difficult even for me.

Really? Too dumb to apply the brakes and park next to the beer store?

A Continental flight from Newark landed just before my buddies United
flight.
Just who do you think pilots United Airlines planes...pilots from Iran??

Um, pilots come from all over, dummy. He could well have been from
just about any country. Do you really think that a global airline such
as United only employes U.S. pilots?????

As for the rest, you either didn't or couldn't answer the questions.
Care to try again?
