Nothing on Wheels Up??

What day were those guys on, couldn't find the LOC freq himself? Told the world he was worried the PAX would be upset?

Seriously? Seems like a simple request to me. Got back safe, good job

Ghostrider, ever heard of TEM, use all available resources including ATC. Fly the damn plane.

Everyone walked away, sounds like they did what needed to be done to safely land the A/C.
Besides I bet that was a noisy cockpit with the door open. Kudos to the Wheels Up crew.

Wow... What an ignorant comment. Haven't learned ******************** in your "many" hours of experience obviously.

Don't mean to pile on because I suspect by now you've realized how dumb that comment was.

If not, consider this: They were having a hard time controlling the plane. They were busy and rushed with an emergency return and it's more than likely their Jepp's were flying all over the cabin. Using all available resources is always the correct answer in an emergency. I sincerely hope if you're ever in a similar situation, you don't hesitate to ask for anything that lightens your workload. In the end, they got the plane down safely and no one was hurt. It's pretty hard (and petty) to second guess that outcome.

As for the the upset pax comment, I thought it was pretty damn funny. I'll bet he was right too!

Gotta agree with all that

Wow! They were all very lucky. Sounds like the door may have not been latched for take off. Maybe just closed with the pre-catch.
Glad everybody is ok.

Local news in California like the rest of California. Slow. They make it sound like it happened yesterday.
