AA 757 off runway at ORD

[C-150ETOPS]

Anyone have the real story?

No, I don't. But don't worry, we have enough experts here that can produce a "fake" story by the second page of posts.

Put the Ipods and backpacks down, and let the games begin.

P.S. My post just started the second page, time's a wastin'

Heard the pilots were talking with mechanics in Tulsa as they were passing over the rockies and the plane seemed to think it was on the ground. Then they started losing buses. I think they already had a deferred APU. Tulsa told them to put it down, so they did. Apparently the electrical problems kept getting worse as time went on. Maybe they made some quick decisions that got them into trouble on the ground but at least they all walked away!

Swiss Air 111 comes to mind. By the way, in the past, the Captain taught systems on the 757 and knows the aircraft well. Glad everyone is okay.

This crew did a great job. When I went to 767 F/O school in 1993 he was one of the systems instructors. He's been familiar with this aircraft for a long time.

I wonder how ol' Gerard would have done if presented with a similar situation as PIC in his little twin Cessna he's so proud of telling everyone he commands.

I bet the big bonus checks are already being printed and the back slapping has begun over at Centerport. Cheers!

I hope he did't get in trouble for taxing too slow back to the terminal

That was hilarious.

Does anybody know how the slow taxi story is unfolding?

3 minutes to read your question.

5 minutes contemplating response, checking AA Flight Manual and FARs.

.025 Secs recalling the latest criminal act of using a cellphone in a vehicle; A truck driver rear-ending a school bus in FL, fatally burning a kid to death.

4 more minutes of deep thoughts.


Can you rephrase that question again?
