I am not a super pilot and never claimed to be. Just stating that flying more then 8 hours is not any excuse to EVER land on a taxiway. I would think you would agree. And landing on a taxiway is not a single mistake, it is a disaster that through luck worked out, and I am extremely happy that nobody was waiting to takeoff. I make mistakes like everyone, but that IS NOT EXCUSABLE. And just to be clear, your point is that if you fly at the stick for more then 8 hours and land on a taxiway it makes you a average pilot, but not landing on one makes you Chuck Yeager. That's your agrument!?
50 seaters are not economical and they will be going away, I agree. And the Comair thing, isn't only because they have 50 seaters, there are other factors at play. And normally I would agree and say that the 700s should not be a regional aircraft, but it sure gets you fired up when I say congrats to ASA for gaining more of them. You whine about the 700s but what have you done to
change it? How will you vote when Delta waves more money in your face to relieve scope? More money in the General's pocket and more regional jobs??? Whose fault is it that so many 700s exist at the DL regionals? The CAL pilot have stood firm and prevented them!
If you truely enjoy FI, then good for you. You always brag about how great your trips are and how good you have it, but my point is why don't you get away from the computer screen for a few minutes and go get some fresh air. With as much as you are on here, one would think you are stuck in a crappy hotel somewhere with nothing to do all of the time. If sitting in front of the computer is more enjoyable to you then exploring foreign cities, or spending quality time with a good women, then good for you. Enjoy FI!
