CRJ issue in LSE

[xjcaptain]

Anybody hear anything about a CRJ in LSE that apparently departed RWY 3 rather than 36 as cleared in the last couple of days. Apparently nearly all the RWY was used (it's about 3000' shorter than 36) and the tower was apparently concerned enough to send it through the food chain.

They really don't have much of a choice its a pretty big issue.

From the diagram, probably not the first time it's happened at LSE.

I flew out of LSE for years and it can be an easy mistake to make, especially in poor weather. What is worse is not too far off 3 and you're swimming. I'd like to see what their BFL was and the weather conditions.

geez... so much for checking the alignment of the DG's to the runway prior to departure!

ditto...and you would have to do something pretty stupid to make that guy up in the tower send it through....after you wake him up of course!
