For a pilot this can't be a good time for them.---Anderson

yeah no kidding. He's calling his stockbroker right now saying sell sell sell.

might be a good time for a gettaway. sorry could'nt resist.

Would the captain have gotten in trouble in they used their alternate? From the looks of it, i'd say getthereistis?

Almost any minute now I am expecting to see John and Martha King give us all their professional insight as to what happened. They probably just didnt have the carb heat out. Thats gotta be it.

31C RVR mins is 4000. This is why rent around Skidway is cheap.

Ahh, but they had "in flight visibility".....

yeah, right.


I'm surprised cooler heads didn't prevail on that one.

Seemed like a an accident waiting to happen....

extremely low vis...

tailwind

short runway

contaminated short runway

prly tanked with fuel given the weather...

In the end, as usual, I'll predict that the NTSB findings won't surprise any of us. And we'll have these guys to thank for that extra 5 hrs of ground school we'll get.

She needs to start Rogaine immediately if she hasnt already done so.

Why do they keep cutting off all the people that actually have some credentials for these drunk "eye" witnesses they are pulling out of the bar?

Really, what happens when an airfield that meets FAA mins, but the PIC decides that he wants to takes his 100 or so passengers some where else? Does some burley hitman get dispatched from management to off your ass? Do you get labeled a MILF, and get recurrent training?
