What the heck is that supposed to mean? About this incident at least?!

It's all about the dangerous "Culture" and the belief that you can put
experienced AirTran Captains into the right seat and upgrade
relatively inexperienced first officers at the passengers, and safeties
expense.
 
I know I don't have all te facts but, they reported a "possible nose gear problem" and still landed on a 7000 ft runway surrounded by water!
 
Not according to ATC tapes just played on NBC NY, Fletch. Tower controller sent following plane around and was very excited, talking to crash crews. Didn't sound like a situation where they were expecting a nose gear problem reported from the crew.

But we are all just speculating. Glad nobody was seriously injured.

OMG, 7000'. How can anyone land on ONLY 7000'. And anyone who has landed on runway 4 knows the waves crash right against the edge of the runway.
