Being a rotor-wing pilot, when you loose a "wing" the Emergency Procedure reads something like "Bend as far over backward as possible and kiss your ass Good-Bye."

But we don't need no stinkin Motors.

That's exactly what my dad says, but he is still flying. Turns out that the airlines isn't the dream job he thought it would be! :smile24:

I've heard that from several fellow pilots from the Navy...they landed an airline job and now all they do is "Manage the flight deck"..... not the glory days of the 50'-80's anymore when a pilot actually FLEW the airplanes versus now when a pilot simply manages the flight deck.
