I'm curious. Let's just say, for argument's sake that the captain DID evacuate. Two people got hurt jumping out the main door. One 4 year-old boy just broke a leg, and an 85 year-old woman twisted her ankle, fell to the pavement and suffered a serious concussion and is now in a coma with a doubtful outcome. Not likely mind you, but possible.

How many of you Chuck Norris Wannabes out there would be beating your chest about how YOU would have acted like a REAL CAPTAIN and kept them on the airplane.

Our job is SAFETY first. Comfort comes after that.
 
FAR Part 1 Defines Dubya as follows: Dubya means the D-bag who: (1) Gets on Flight Info and demonstrates that he has an a$$hole right in the middle of his forehead; (2) Has been designated as Dubya before or during the flight; and (3) Holds the appropriate category, class, and type rating, if appropriate, for the conduct of the flight.



Anything else you'd like to add?

Yep, according to your signature.....I win.

Lets start from the point where the plane is on the ground, (and skip the part about picking a better location, or that they arrived safely, those are a given). This is a perfect example of a Capt living in a box. Could she handle an in flight emergency? Probably without a doubt. Company regs? Knows them inside and out. Gets into an unkown situation like this.. FAIL... You see, there is no guidance or QRH on this..
I know I would have gotten off the plane myself, or sent the F/O, looking for some kind of help. (stairs/Meseba/Signature/called the police/bring them off in pairs to get food or bathroom/whatever)

I'm simply dumbfounded that this happened.
