AirTran Nose Gear Collapse??

[EMB170Pilot]

It happened last night. It looks like they just tried to take a shortcut through the grass in the dark (I'm guessing that mngt was trying to get them to save fuel). Word that I heard was that everyone on board was O.K. though.

no no no between the blue lights Citrus

I'd imagine those Airliners.net spotters would have pictures up already. Those folks are EVERYWHERE!

Yeah, amd MEM ground thought they were DL and thought they have been around for at least 10 years and they knew where they were going. What's your point?

Well...Truth be told:

Apparently, an Eastern Scab was in the Left Seat. He was trying to read the latest Scab List while his Co-Pilot, a recent Commuter puke, was up cleaning Lavs and seats in the back. (The Jet Blue jumpseater was too tired.)

The grass suddenly "jumped out" from the Taxiway and no one caught the anomaly.

Joe Leonard is sending a Fork-lift to remove the wreckage.

Company info says they will use it to fuel a Company B-B-Q in the Everglades next spring.
