FA helps American Airlines Land

[waveflyer]

and there you go...

The CA did NOT make a PA requesting the help of any licensed passenger. He DID call the F/As on the interphone requesting the help of any non revving AA / OAL pilot.

makes a lot more sense

Wow Sherlock...Ya think?!!

What gave it away?...the fact that she WORKS FOR AMERICAN AIRLINES AS A FLIGHT ATTENDANT?!!

Good Christ...sometimes I can't take the stupidity.

You wouldn't by chance be one of those cable news "I may be wrong but if I call you enough names I'll make my point" junkies?
My airline also has had a few FA's flying 135 (commercially) on the side to build time. It was a valid qustion.

Thanks. thats exactly what I was wondering. I'm blown away by people rushing to judgement base on info for the "media" in this country. The media competes for ratings by coming up with good sounding stories. Making a PA sounds like a good story but it just didn't sound right. I can't picture any pilot doing that. I certainly think calling back and seeing if their are any non reving pilots on board and than getting help from the FA makes good sense. I guess this was "the rest of the story".
