Air Canada aborted takeoff video

[LRJet Guy]

What a friggin tool. I've RTO'd twice, and thank God I didn't have some moron back there like this guy.

I don't think I could have held a straight face after being handed that note.

[ACman]

Yes they do have to make announcements in both English and French. Its one of those things legally required of AC.

The Air Canada Act ehheeh. WS doesnt do it

ALL the flights I have been on with Westjet have had the Safety Announcements in ENGLISH and FRENCH. When I flew YVR-YYC last winter one of the FAs did it all completely in french, not on tape .

[PIAA310]

ummmmm Video was alright, but that guy needs to shove something in his mouth and stop acting like he knows what he's talking about.

[JordanD]

20 bucks says he's an A.netter.

When it said he offered the tape to the captain, I thought it would say
"and he said yes"
"and went home and watched it"
"and after he saw how much of an idiot I was, added the commentary and put it online, for everyone to see how much of an idiot I am."

But this guy saved the pilot the trouble. What a moron. I want my 12 minutes back...

Re:

Drama queen (or in this case, king), would be an understatement. As for his "expert" commentary->

On another note, kudos to the skilled professionals up front in the office.

The pilot then applied full brakes, full flaps, and reverse thrust...or in pilot speak, 'speed brakes'.

...Maybe a bird alert...

You bawstard...[said in wimpy voice]take a picture! Heello!

Good God, this guy is a SHITTARD (yes, I just made that up)! He apparently likes the sound of his own, psychotic voice. He so mellowdramatic and emo that I was temped to cut myself several times over the course of this piece!

[screaming_emu]

I left a...ummm...colorful comment

[Star Alliance]

So have I.

[screaming_emu]

Yo Dale, do you happen to know the actual reason for this abort?

I found this in Google County, Internetropolis:

Tokyo, Sept. 12 (AP): An Air Canada flight bound for Vancouver aborted takeoff today from a west Japan airport after pilots slammed on the brakes due to a warning signal indicating trouble with the plane, officials and a news report said.

The Boeing 767 was about to take off from a runway at Osaka's Kansai International Airport when a warning signal indicated trouble with the vessel's landing gear, prompting pilots to bring the plane to a halt and abort takeoff, according to Kyodo News agency.

Air escaped from the plane's four right wheels from the impact of the brakes, but there were no injuries, Kyodo said.

Airport official Akiko Jintei partly confirmed the incident, saying the vessel headed to an airport runway at 3:40 pm (1210 IST) but told airport control about 40 minutes later it would abort takeoff for further maintenance.
