Seconded! I..."When you know what's going on ...." Seconded! I was once on a Canadian Airlines Dash 8 flying out of Calgary for Peace River. As we began the takeoff roll it felt and sounded as if one of the engines was not producing it's regular thrust. The aircraft kept speeding up but would surge and buck while pulling to the right. After about 5 cycles of this surging and just prior to takeoff speed, the captain pulled the throttles and taxied back. Claimed there was another aircraft in the way. I assumed we would be heading for the gate when he again took to the runway. <BR/><BR/>This is when you look deep into the eyes of the FA and see if there is even a glint of fear. She was stone cold. The aircraft then took off uneventfully. Would "I" have proceded under such circumstanceS? I wonder. We did make it just fine. Gotta love those Dash 8's!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-12761879346475471192008-12-08T03:38:00.000+00:002008-12-08T03:38:00.000+00:00Funny thing about that.

When you're ignorant you listen to the arcane babble and are impressed. When you know what's going on you think, "umm that's not the proper time for him to say that! What's going on?"jinkstohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645519830822645928noreply@blogger.com
