A "precautionary" landing. Not an "emergency". This is a great series, don't spoil it with your clickbait titles.

wonder if it was templated

Joe's management style: "F the employee in favor of profit. Even if the employee is a family member."

[@TheJapanChannelDcom]

Arrogant clowns like "Dwayne" can destroy businesses with their weak people skills and aggressive BS.

[@huibvandermaarl1799]

That dane guy doesn.t know anything and he is probalbly here cause his own airline went bankrupt

The courier driver should treat the packages gently. I can't tell you how many packages I've received that were broken in shipment.

[@ronaldfulton1175]

Damage likely at sorting center...I've been to local UPS center and watched packages fall off conveyor, get picked up, bounced off upright structure and land on belt 20' away....FRAGILE marked all over box....employees yelling "score !!!"

[@paulor9577]

Love this show!!!

[@Dennnis10B]

What an amazing life...Thanks for sharing..

[@SolidShot]

That Duane guy is the prime example of a terrible manager.

[@mikehilbert9349]

Some of the most irritating episodes of the series. Joe might be a hardass micromanager, but Duane was a 'nobody knows what they 're doing here and I am the great white hope' kind of manager, The problem is Duane is no leader.

[@lomgshorts3]

Get Duane out with the aircraft, fly him to company destinations so he can "enjoy" the frustrations the pilots have with weather, loading, unloading, calculations of weight and balance, fuel calculations and the everyday ops of a freight airline.

[@barbarachambers7974]

He did eventually...

[@mikehilbert9349]

He disappeared in the middle of a big military contract and then blamed the pilots.

[@factsdonthavefeelingsbeawa2953]

I wonder if Gord Cooley has a brother Jim Cooley. On Coast Guard Alaska show there's a pilot named Jim Cooley. It's probably very possible. Jim being the younger brother seeing his older brother become a pilot in the North West Territories... and seeing all the work it took for him to become a pilot. But still in awe if his older brother and wanting to a pilot because of watching his brothers career... Then wanting to become a pilot himself... looked into other ways he too could become a pilot & came across the Coast Guards as being a very good opportunity to be able to get his pilots license. Or well in his case a helicopter license.

Wish I worked for Buffalo Airways in summer

[@Softail77us]

Poor Duane. I have my own reservations about him but he's walking into a company that's already suffering with nepotism as well as a boss that motivates by losing his temper. We'll see. Either way hat's off to Joe for sticking to it all these years.

[@MBrieger]

I have worked as a PM for quite a few Companies. Anyone not being introduced and then looking at company paper work is out the door really fast. There is no reason for Stomp speeches either. I heard them all and regardless how Senior you are, you always start as an apprentice. You need to appreciate the special flavors before you change the ingredients.

[@Jonjonbighettty-ub3rc]

awesome bro,,

[@jacquessmith8653]

Shut it down and go on. Come on reality!

[@bluewagon5304]

In air miles I have been around the globe a few times. And I have many more take-offs than landings.

[@mtebaldi1]

I really like Ice Pilots Air Buffalo. It is really great to see that these old birds are still flying in the air. Wow, back in my youth I wish I'd had the opportunity to travel to Alaska and work for Buffalo Air when it started. Looks like a wonderful life.

[@TheBurntRelic]

Joe reminds me of my gradfather aye hardnoose no b.s kinda man bud born in the 40es tough old man bud in his 80es and he will lay the pipe down aye and be giviner and hes french/ canadian to he goes over the bridge to this day to get his baconn wucth u know uhboot that aye

Go on a diet Mikee, jeez bro, put down the fork!

[@alfredbadasu7644]

I agree with Dwayne. You cant get too familiar with your subordinates as a manager. They will take advantage and start undermining you.

[@helmuthj.zotter7272]

Absolutely right ! Seen it many times.

[@toma5153]

Plus lots of nepotism at this company - for better or worse. Are the friends, brothers, sons and in-laws really the best qualified people?

[@SWC44]

How did only 4gals of oil keep the temperature from raising?

[@ronaldfulton1175]

OIl flows from tank to engine, doesn't circulate, engine runs out of oil...temperature soars...engine is toast...matter of seconds....tens of thousands $$$$$

Cars talk in terms of quarts. 16 quarts. Cars use 5 quarts.

[@Michael.Chapman]

Can’t say I like Dwayne-he doesn’t understand a company’s greatest assets are its employees and that Buffalo is a lot like a family.

[@mikehilbert9349]

I have seen snakes like him in management before. His first thought was how quick he could replace Joe.

[@getonlygotonly]

they sure did need that Dwayne guy in there with the wheel to kick the gear down on the Electra , where was he when he was really needed? refusing to buy beers for the guys?

[@amaurydotreppe770]

Has anyone see's the cracks on the tire at 14:37?

[@trespire]

Yup, noticed it right away. I've no idea if a DC3's tire in that condition is servicable or not. Never saw any such tire deterioration on Phantoms or F-16, but those are higher loaded compared to a DC3's fat tires.

[@80AFT]

Anyone saw that beautiful longhaired brunette in the cargo terminal?

Old is good only vine and violin.

Fair enough Mikey is not the sharpest knife in the drawer 👍

[@euge963]

What kind of manager buys the team a round of drinks and leaves? This guy knows nothing about team building.

[@helmuthj.zotter7272]

What he probably meant is DON'T get too close to your staff if you're the manager. You're probably not manager material.
