Breaking: Midwest 717 with a gear problem over BOS

[=w=]

Sparks from the wheel well? What the heck could that be? Wheels and tires look fine. Maybe a gear door got jammed somewhere.

Massport are not the smartest bunch - 2 years of putting up with that Northeast trash convinced me (BOS based).

"Pat on the Back" to the crew. This proves that we as pilots earn our low pay every day.

Mary Schiavo needs to STFU. The DC-9 series gear doors rub on the pavement after a manual extension. Also, the MSNBC dumbass, Tom Costello, just commented that the cold weather would factor into the Captain's decision to evacuate.

I'm going to drive an ice pick in my ears now.

Crew did well. They'll be pounding the beverages in a few.

Now they're using the "T" word, tarmac. I hate that word. I've never had any reason to say it. Just wait tilthe news idiots figure out the latest aviation cool phrase "flight deck". As in "ah folks, from up front here in the flight deck".

Good Job - Midwest!! These news channels were driving me crazy also.. That Mary Beeeeouch... was saying the Crew would be poping the slides since there was sparks by the landing gear and the Captain has a spark indicator in the cockpit.

 

[Capt. X]

Professional and worth every penny, and then some!!

At least CNN has Jim Tilmon on. Chicago weatherman that used to fly for AA. Nice to hear him tell it how it is and not give these journalist clowns (i.e Anderson Cooper, etc.) a chance to spew crap to the public who know no better.
