Delta off runway at CMH

If this would have been SWA GL would have had 8 posts by now.

Glad all Paxs and crew are fine and glad they got the little $hit heads in BOS today.

Thanks. The difference is that this thread would run 12+ pages if it was a SWA jet.

SWA guy was on the jumpseat.

The pilots of that 737 made thousands of uneventful landings prior tobthis event. Yesterday wasn't their day for some reason. Wx? Tired? Who knows. Seems like most of these are either landed long or a speed brake issue. Do the ASAP, get some training, hell ride with the FAA and show them this was a fluke, and press on.

Curious, mainline off the side and the focus on FI is ATC, a regional off the side and the focus would fall completely on the shoulders of the crew. And yes, been to CMH many times.

Likely because the assumption is the regional crew is inexperienced. I know this is an oversimplification since clearly there are many lifer RJ pilots but this is the Internet Afterall.

Good thing.. Would have landed at the wrong airport if Delta was on the jumpseat.

Or landed on a taxi way.

Really?

Really?

It's just additional sarcastic satire along with the others posting in the thread

Really?

Haha!! Yes, "really".

 

[labatt]

Probably forgot to ask for a "wind check" and "ride report".





Seriously, glad no one was hurt and it could happen to any of us, any day.

Chew and swallow general, chew and swallow.

Or they could have shot a hole in the airplane. Or been paid lower than Mesa pilots.

Don't worry General. 737's go off the end of 28R/10L in CMH on a pretty regular basis. The last one was a Continental 737 that was a divert from CLE a few winters back if memory serves me correctly. No injuries on that one either. Go Buckeyes.
