Actually, they landed safely. As they were taxiing in to the gate, the nosewheel slid off a taxiway during a turn and ended up in the grass. Not much of a story, really. I guess that particular piece of taxiway had an ice patch on it. Whatever. Of course, in the media (and in the minds of drunken, Southwest-bashers), this has taken on a life of its own.

Speaking of drunken Southwest-bashers, who IS this Megalops guy? Dude. Seriously. It's Sunday morning--lay off the bourbon already. At the very least, get the dosage on your Ritalin adjusted or something. No one can follow or understand what you're getting at.

Braking action was still called as poor. For the love of God, no one ever say Nil.

Stupid posts by stupid people......

Could it be?:

Authorities said they were tipped off by a hotel shuttle bus driver, who called airport police to report he suspected the pilot was drunk.

FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said the agency is investigating the incident.

The male pilot, whose identity was not released, was scheduled to fly Frontier Flight 1894 from Omaha to Milwaukee at 6 a.m., according to the airline. Both Chautauqua and Frontier are owned by Republic Airways Holdings, Inc.

But shortly before the flight, a shuttle bus driver called the Eppley Airfield Airport Police to report his concerns about the pilot, said Chris Martin, director of operations for the Omaha Airport Authority.

Jerkoffs or not, if there wasn't an apparent correlation between SWA and the 45kt taxi, I really don't think anyone would be saying anything here. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Must be, seems to happen over there....

Seriously though, it puts a pretty big pit in your stomach when you try to turn and the plane just keeps going straight. You realize your just along for the ride.

YES IT DOES!!! on ice about the only thing you have is differential thrust and TR's. Brakes and steering are barely helpful.
After an snow/ice storm I was attempting to get an A/C from the hangar to the gate, got to the gate and brakes did nothing. Finally came to a stop using full TR. After getting off the plane scared sh!tless the ramper had the nerve to yell at me for blowing snow all over him with the TR's. I guess he would have preferred the taste of a radome. All for nothing tho, the pushback tug couldn't move the darn thing so they canceled anyway.

hopefully these pilots don't get in too much trouble, sometimes there is nothing you can do.

Now, that's funny...

Don't kid yourself, Driver--cultural reputatons has absolutely nothing to do with this. If American Airlines, who has a reputation for taxiing absurdly slow, did the same thing, you'd have the same numbnuts making the same inane comments. If you really don't think "anyone would be saything here," then you obviously don't know the first thing about Flight Info (or human nature).

Do you really think the Captain was taxiing at 45 kts (Southwest's maximum is 20 kts, or up to 30 kts on long parallels) after landing in Denver with freezing fog, snow, and visibility issues? Really?

Southwest is always gonna' have its haters, just like Delta has its haters, USAir, United, etc., all have theirs as well. I mean, for cryin' out loud--the guy who started this tread titled it "Southwest off the runway at KDEN," even though he went on to list text from a story mentioning that it was actually only a taxiway. You'd think a guy whose FI name was "BE-400xpDriver" would know the difference, especially since he's claiming to be a pilot himself. Yet he deliberately mistates the facts in his thread title just to make it look more serious for Southwest. Why do you suppose THAT is? And of course, YOU make not one, but two comments relating to Southwest taxi speeds, which had absolutely nothing to do with this incident.

Don't worry--I'm sure that someone hates whatever airline YOU work for as well.

Because I made a mistake when titling the thread. It was not intentional. The first report I heard on the radio was of an airplane off the runway at DEN. I did read the article but for some reason did not catch the title mistake when I posted. I tried to edit it but am unable to. I have asked the moderators to correct it.

That shows hilarious!!!
anyway, I got a chain and a tractor down south, let me know!

Next breaking news from megalops: "Dog bites man, film at eleven".

Well, no one hates us at Airtran....err, well, almost no one. I just don't understand how the guys at WN get a reputation for the fast taxi, makes no sense to me either. No slam to the poor SOB who went off in KDEN, with the conditions i heard reported it could have been any one of us. Glad everyone was OK.

I can remember landing in Gander one dark snowy night in the Diesel eight, applying the brakes and I swear that fukkr started goin faster....no bigger sinking feeling than having no brakes

 

[njcapt]

Kinda got a Chris Walken stream of conciousness thing going on there.

I went back and read all of Megalops' previous posts in this thread in Christopher Walken's voice to myself and nearly split a gut.

 

[be-400xpdriver]

WOW!! You Southwest kids are a little sensitive. I make a mistake when titling the thread and now I hate Southwest and need to stick to counting little white planes. You all need to see a therapist and work out your insecurities.

 

[SWA/FO]

Go fly your little jet and hope that you never slide off the runway or taxiway.
