Amazing how calm they are. So professional.

[beergut111]

yes, and so little paid for it too.

would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon if you had to have triple bypass?

@thediggyk I see, then it makes sense. Was kinda wondering if he declared an emergency and then continued cause the compressor stall wasn't that serious. So I was like; Why did he declare an emergency then :P

[thediggyk]

@apox555 LAX wasn't their destination. They are going to LAX because it is close by, has more runways, and is easier to get to then to come all the way back around to the departing airport.

@apox555 they are just going from santa ana ca to los angeles. takes 30 minutes to drive the from sa to la.

The Pilot reported a Compressor Stall. For those who are not familiar with Jet engines-this is an equivalent to an engine "Backfire" in your car, but with much more force. Basiclly, the engine airflow is disrupted & the airflow tries to reverse direction. Unfortunatly, this can cause internal parts of the engine to bend in the wrong directon. It is SOP (Standard Operating Proceedure) to get back on the ground ASAP. The took off from "John Wayne" (Orange County) Airport-quick jump to LAX.

I don't get this. They are declaring an emergency but are continuing enroute to their destination?

@beergut111 My numbers arent way off. I actually have access to all north american airlines payscales. Go to airlinepilotcentral (dot) com and you'll see.

[beergut111]

@maxou5757 yeah, after working there for almost 20 years they may get to 160k. pilots have taken pay cut after pay cut because of threats from management. in the end, managemnt pays themselves huge bonuses. its sad really. you're numbers are way off.

@beergut111 Hope you are kidding. A captain at American Airlines or any other airline will earn from 100k up to 200k a year. The co pilot will earn from 50k up to 130k a year.
