Best 757 Takeoff ever - Jack’s retirement flight 

It was always my pleasure.

Thanks Manny, I feel He has. Psalms 37:4

You're welcome. Documentation of my retirement flight. You should watch "Best 757 landing ever"

@@jackjessup-Pilot congratulations on your retirement

@@79nyisle Thank you

Thanks Suzi. It was a great career and I loved it.

Indeed it is

Thanks, I was fortunate to have another pilot in my jumpseat on my retirement flight and he decided to record it for me.

Thank Colonel! I have found that I am as good at retirement as anything else I have ever done. Are you considering retiring any time soon or are there stars in your future? Hard to believe it's been 25 years since I had the privilege of swearing you in as a commissioned officer.

It was and I do. Thanks.

Thank you !

I am probably as good at retirement as anything else I have ever done. I am keeping busy and enjoying time with my wife, but with the virus I haven’t done much flying. Just now and then with other pilots.

Thanks, you know what they say, if at first you don't succeed, try try again.

@@jackjessup-Pilot yup no problem man and yup that saying is on point as well!

It’s too bad Boeing discontinued the 757. One of the best airliners ever.

@@jackjessup-Pilot congrats on being retired. I have a few more left, however now moving to the 787 i really miss the 57 particularly on a unrestricted climb out of JFK 😝. Have some good ones friend.

Thanks, you can see the landing also at best 757 lang ever (my retirement flight)

Thanks so much. I have found that I am as good at retirement as just about anything else I have ever done.

Hope you enjoy some of my other videos.

@@jackjessup-Pilot I just noticed you responded! I'm so used to not getting responses when I post. Sorry about that! Glad to get a message from you and that you are doing well!

@@jackjessup-Pilot I certainly will! Subscribed!

Thanks Chad.

Thank you. I am indeed.

I know not many people get to see what it is like, so I thank you for coming along virtually (like everything else these days).

Captains wear 4 stripes and First Officers wear 3 stripes.

@@jackjessup-Pilot thank you for answering. I know that seemed a ridiculously simplistic question. I just wanted to be clear. Thank you again

@@thatgirlmadge No problem

Thanks Robert! It was a great way to make a living.

@@jackjessup-Pilot my Dad was a pilot he's passed but I always think about him when I see a plane.

They are great airplanes, but to answer your question, probably not. The good news for you is that you may get to fly the new 737s, the 787 and the 777. They are all really good planes and will be around for a long time.

I was one of the original plots for America West Airlines and actually flew the first revenue flight for AWA on 1 August 1983. In 2005, we merged with U S Airways and in 2013 we merged with American. I started with the smallest airline in 1983 and retired from the largest airline in the world. Quite a ride!

The RB 211 is one of the most dependable jet engines ever made. All the 757s I flew from 1989 to 2019 had RB 211s. Nothing like driving a couple Rolls Royces every day you go to work.

It is indeed. Hold the phone calls, we have a winner!

Yes, we fly both airplanes. The 767 flight deck is a bit roomier because it is a widebody, but I think the 757 is a little more fun to fly.

They are Rolls Royce engines (RB-211) and I took off from San Diego Lindberg Field on my retirement flight.

It's perspective.

@@jackjessup-Pilot Thanks Cap!

They actually don’t flicker. They appear to flicker because that’s what happens when a digital camera records a digital display.

@@jackjessup-Pilot well thank God I thought you guys had to watch and deal with that to your destination, that would drive me Ape...

Yes it was. Our scheduler asked me what I wanted to fly and I picked a short trip so I could take my wife and granddaughters along and still have time to go out to lunch after the festivities.

@@jackjessup-Pilot I'm sure it was very exciting for all the family! Thank you for the feedback and enjoy the retirement!

@@Senseimatty81 It was great and so is retirement!

You obviously don’t know the American Airlines procedures that were in effect in 2018. LNAV or HDG SEL is selected after attaining an altitude of 400 feet AGL.

@@jackjessup-Pilot you obviously don’t know CURRENT AA SOP since they takeoff with LNAV engaged. And I fly the plane at another legacy and both DL and UA take off with LNAV engaged on the 757. Enjoy your retirement.

Since I have been retired for almost 5 years, I don't even try to keep up with the current SOPs. That's one of the nice things about being retired. You get to live your life. I was a check airman on the 757 and 767 for American and that was our procedure in 2018. By the way, American retired the 757/767 fleet several years ago and I would bet they don't update those manuals. I can not address what the SOPs are for their 737, 777, 787, and Airbus fleets.

@@jackjessup-Pilot cool man. Live that life while you’re commenting on your retirement takeoff video on RU-vid with “pilot” in your screename. The 757/767 was retired at AA in 2020 during the pandemic. Bit ironic that you said I don’t know AA SOP when it’s actually you who doesn’t.

@@prorobo You don't have to take check rides after you retire. I'll bet your name shows up on a lot of don't fly lists. BTW, since you like to question my credentials, let me know when you get your Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award.

The kind that fly for American Airlines. I believe cross-hair flight directors are more accurate, but American made the decision to use the V-bars.

@@jackjessup-Pilot ok Roger that......I have flown a couple different types at a couple different airlines..including the 757/767 and its always been cross ..I fly corporate now and the plane we fly has the option for v or cross luckily the guy i fly with is used to cross as well so that's what we always select 😉

@@viperdriver82 Unfortunately, the airline wants the pilots to use one type and the decision makers picked the V bars.

I like the command bars.

@@tb7214 It tends to be a personal choice.

It was indeed.
