How about guys in pink shirts standing next to the runway?


This may be a joke but its not far from the truth. As the
FAA runs off their tenured and experienced white
heterosexual males over 40 in favor of homosexuals and black
females for racist diversity goals out of Washington D.C.
pink shirts and rainbow flags may be a common site around
airports.

Just a little sarcasm toward the "Tombstone Agency"

Just so we're clear, the sarcasm was directed at the idiots who want to blame
the FAA for a pilot's mistake.

Bigotry against white heterosexual men is no different than Bigotry against
black homosexual women... You are the ultimate hypocrite.

No. For trying to turn everything into a racial issue so that you can promote
your agenda. You are the white Al Sharpton.

No agenda just a concern for Air Safety. Management of the
National airspace system and the safe movement of air
traffic requires the best and brightest Government service
can attract. However the FAA has made social engineering a
priority over Air Safety. The FAA Academy standards were
lowered several years ago because black women could not pass
all the courses. White males in the FAA are passed over in
favor of less qualified Blacks all the time. That is not right.

Guess what! This country really screwed the blacks for a very long time.

Then, the scales tipped a bit far the other way to make things up.

On balance, both the whites and blacks are a lot better off today for
how it has progressed.

Sure, there are dull blacks in some FAA positions. But, you know what,
there are also some dull whites in some FAA positions.

And, so it goes.

Do you hate Mexican-Americans, too?

Actually it was a controller who gave visibility observations in the
vicinity of the touchdown zone from a car. IIRC most airports only had RVV
at the time.

In the days before RVR really worked, when the weather was foggy at some
airline airports they had a certified observor standing beside the runway
who provided manually observed RVR readings to the tower via an interphone
link.

Sometimes these threads are frustrating. How can anyone here who is a
pilot post a message and blame the FAA for a pilot landing on a
taxiway? If you aren't a pilot, why post here with such authority?
The FARs clearly make the PIC resposible for the safety of flight.
Pilots are also "supposed" to be able to differentiate between a runway
and a taxiway. Why does it matter if its VFR,IFR, ILS,towered,
non-towered, black person, white person, etc?

IF the tower sees the plane landing on the taxiway and says "go
around", that's fantastic, but it's still a PILOT making a mistake.
How do you think pilots at non-towered airports land? Yes, ATC works
with the pilots, and yes they have responsabilities too. And how about
maybe giving ATC some credit for all the hard work they do to keep our
butts safe up there?

None can.

He doesn't post with authority. He is an idiot. Idiots do not post with
authority.

Yes, RVV, not RVR. I thought about that after the posting.
