Delta plane slides off taxiway at Detroit Metro

[vixin]

SWA needs to slow down. They caused this somehow. Maybe these Delta guys should go to LBB and fly 12 legs a day. Just kidding glad no one was hurt.

That's at least the third contaminated runway excursion in about 6 months. Hopefully Delta will get it fixed. Glad their were no injuries.

Like I've said before, the real news is when Delta stays on a runway.

Sad when safety becomes a punch line to a joke.

And sadly somewhere there's a village looking for this ****************************** bag!

The "village" should be looking for someone to head up Delta's flight operations department and stress how it is important to stay on prepared surfaces.

Maybe this was an isolated incident. But Delta tends to have a lot of these incidents.

When you don't stress and value safety, results like these become common.

Blah blah blah. Your night cross country showed up junior. Stop jerking off to kiddie porn and get those props turning....Ass knot!

I don't know what the situation was, but it is very difficult to control steering on a sheet of ice. I remember in DTW, trying to stay in one spot with power at idle, it did not want to stay. My option was to use reversers or shut down engines. It can be very tough out there. I can only hope it wont happen to me. Good luck to us all this winter.

Well said mayo-
The flamers are just doing their thing

Sorry to hear it was one of the brand-spankin new -900s. Hopefully no metal bent.

P.S. Are those coming equipped with two cockpit jumpseats, or the old Delta-standard one?

One jumpseat unfortunately. DL Planes with 2 jumpseats are A319s, A320s, A330s, 767-300ERs, some Ex TWA 757-200ERs, 777s, 767-400s, and 744s.
