There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Just another day on the job as an Air Traffic Controller!

This has the potential to get political very fast.
My suggestion is to remember who is responsible for the problems at hand and TTBO. "Throw the bums out". And I am not taking any political sides here. They are all responsible IMO.

Put my headset on and listened to the whole thing. The guy stayed pretty calm, I'm sure that helped to calm the other passengers. All partys did a great job. Part of my job in the Air Force was ground/air accident investigation. Got to listen to a lot of tapes similar to this.
As to the sequester, i don't want to get booted so I'll keep my thoughts to myself, but have to agree with AKspyderman.

Impressive video.
As to the sequester and the political ramifications, whatever your position is, we the people elected these politicians.
We grew them in this country and then we elected them.
There is an old saying. People get the government they deserve.
Who's to blame ?

Just read the background on the story. He, his wife and 2 daughters were flying back home to Louisiana from Florida. The guy owned the plane and the pilot was hired to fly them back home. They were coming back from burying the owners younger brother. The story is on the Readers Digest website.

That was pretty amazing. Randy I'm sorry to hear that you're being furloughed.

Timing?
Sorry to hear you're being furloughed. Lot's I could say, but it wouldn't change reality.
A special thanks for all you have done to keep flyers safe.
Listened all the way through....got a little concerned when he bled his air speed to 116 during his initial decent but he recovered nicely. All in all his previous experience paid off in spades. Both ATC'S did a fine job. The hand off went smooth too.
Hang in there Rando!

A friend of mine was an in flight air traffic controler during 911 on Long Island. There's more to the story than anybody knows so she said. Sorry about the furlough, my brother inlaw is going through the same with homeland security. Luckily he can step back into corrections.

Wow; not being a pilot, that was very exciting to listen to. The ATC's did a fantastic job clearing others out of this guys way and then moving him around and lining up and giving him timely feedback about what to do and how to go about doing it. Not a low stress job on a good day let alone when something like this takes place. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the good work.
Wouldn't it be an eye opener if all 500+ people in government were removed from office at the next opportunity possible to do so!!!!:yes::yes:nojoke

Pretty interesting stuff. Sounded like the the guy flying was real happy to be on the ground.
Sorry to hear about the furlough. Just think about all those poor welfare recipients that won't be getting their checks either, or wait that's right they will be getting theirs. My wife is a court reporter and the state of Illinois gave her some additional unpaid vacation a couple years ago, doesn't make much sense to me. Quit paying people that generate tax revenue but continue to give money to people that don't. Hope they get this figured out so they don't make more of the productive members of society unproductive.

Being a recreational pilot myself, I was riveted to my seat listening to these transmissions. I kept visualizing what that pilot was seeing and doing throughout this entire event. The pilot and ATC's were awesome. Those men and women in the towers and on the radar screens keep all of us safe and happy each and every day. Hat's off them all!! :clap:

Cool stuff (the landing, not your furlough!).
Sorry about your furlough. Hopefully the idiots in DC will stop all this petty bickering and obstructionism and start doing their freaking jobs for a change! I predict some major House (and Senate) cleaning in 2014! nojoke
The furloughs should start in Congress! This should have never gotten to this point, they're acting like children not sharing toys in a sandbox.
On a good note, here in Michigan we're starting to see some great recovery. Here in Battle Creek we're getting 800 new jobs due to various expansions pertaining to the auto industry suppliers.:thumbup:
