Wow! What a couple of $$$$ UPS!!!!!!!!! I would have been pissed if they almost landed on me! They are going straight to hell!!!
 
Eleven pages and acarpe hasn't chimed in to let us know what he thinks about pilots who can't find the runway!?! Carpie, do you need some help? Are you busy filling out ASAP forms? What up? ..l..
 
The good ones do.

[QUOTE absolutely, that is why I try not to criticize my fellow doctors and instead try to learn from these events. I thought to myself, If only pilots would have the same philosophy[/QUOTE]
 
A nice long nap might have prevented this.

This is only true to an extent, when a doctor makes an egregious mistake, other doctors don't look at him and say "well we can learn a lot from this doctor who just amputated the leg of the wrong person." They say, "Wow he really screwed up, and, while I wish him the best, he's gonna pay for this." There is a lot to be learned from the mistakes of others, but when people make completely retarded mistakes, you gotta call a spade a spade. That's not to say I don't think it could happen to me- of course it could.
 
I'm just gonna bump this back to page one so acarpe will be sure to see it.;)
 
The news is saying they crew may have been preoccupied cleaning up a "soiled cockpit". Perhaps projectile vomiting was involved and the windshields were covered.

Why not label taxiways as taxiways from an aerial perspective so this doesn't happen again? It's easy to mark a runway 9L in white. Why not label a parallel taxiway as T A X I in yellow? Either that or put a big X just short of where it begins...

lets just get rid of taxiways.....
 
Word is that the FAA is going to come down hard on us-there are at least 2 other 'incidents"-both with LCP's in command that has the Fed's po'd at us.
 
Sounds like there are some real problems at the EE. By "come down hard" do you mean fines or changes to your training department?
 
TSA just made an announcement that in wake of the taxiway landing, the liquid carry-on allotment just went down to 1.2oz and must now fit in one lunch sized paper bag.

My problem with the double breasted suit is that you have to button the jacket or it looks stupid. With a regular blazer, you don't have to walk around with it buttoned up all the time. But then again, 2 Delta pilots were just given a second chance at life. So I guess, there are bigger issues than wearing double-breasted suits. We now have to make sure all Delta pilots are aware of the differences between white and blue lights, and how to properly identify runway markings vs. taxiway markings. The skill and credibility of the pilots at Delta are eroding away very quickly. Where are the Sulley's at Delta? I guess Cactus has all the heroes.

We do ???? :eek:

"R" was used. South of 27L. Only cargo and NW maint hangar were southe of it back then (before rwy 10-28). I may be wrong, but I believe it was only used as a runway for turboprop A/C and not RJ or bigger.

Thanks! That one is quite a bit shorter. Someone earlier stated that 767 and smaller were allowed- that's at least second hand info, though. Take it for what it's worth coming from me. :)

Give 'em a break.. things are better now.. they landed at the right airport. :)

June 20, 1980 - A Delta Air Lines 727, bound for Tampa, Florida, mistakenly landed at MacDill Air Force Base (a few miles away).

Atleast they landed in the right city, didn't a Northwest or Continental Crew land in the wrong country some years ago?
 
Hey acarpe, I saw you visited a couple days ago. No comment from you? I'm stunned!
