Another ASA Gear Up ...BTR

[SpaceShipEarth]

Had to have been the best interview of a Pax I have ever seen. They need to give that guy the reporter's job... or hell, news editor.

Agreed. It was kind of a punch in the gut though when he said they did a gate return because of maintenance and then ended up on that ship.

Looks as though the crew did a great job....even the horny psychotic FA that was working the flight. I had never seen an old lady hit on rampers who were 35 years younger than her before meeting that lady.

Good job to the crew! ASA is getting scary!

Great job, Delta! Only a mainline crew could have handled that situation so perfectly.

Beat me to it...

Memo for Atlantic Southeast Airline Pilots,

Starting in the November run of PBS, you will now be able to bid for emergency events. They will be scaled from simple diverts for weather to full-on "call the trucks, no better yet, call CNN" events. We in management feel it is our best use of resources to showcase our internal talent by staging these events for media attention. Capt Sulley will be in the ATL crew lounge next month to talk openly with crews on dealing with the media and how to negotiate your best book deal. Stay tuned for more details.

As always, Thanks for all you do!

BH, CT, and sh

At least this one can get in the paint shop to get the "new" Delta paint.

"Unable to duplicate. Ops check good. Ok for service"

Nice job by the crew, notice the nose wheel is less than 6 inches off the center line, while the mains slid sideways!!

Ha! Stupid Reporters.
First the female newsbag says: "There's been a controlled crash..."
Really? Looked like a landing to me, but what the hell do I know.
Then the old man newsbag anchor says: "Delta Connection Air Southeast flight".
Really? Wow, must be some new airline that I've never heard of.
Then the old fart says the plane landed "without the use of its Landing Wheels." ???
Then the young dorky reporter proudly proclaims that "a headwind actually helped the plane land, it helped to slow the plane 20mph to be able to land."

I'm thinking the plane veered off one runway as it slowed and happened to park the nose wheel on the intersecting runway centerline. That's what they usually do when these happen (and we've had a few of them now)

Still, nice job crew.

Aircraft was just out of maintenance, uplock not installed correctly, I guess they didn't have time to do a gear swing.

I wonder if our dream team in Memphis was responsible for that.

What was up with that reporter? Tone it down on the fake reporter tone.
