Most importantly:

1. We're they wearing their hats?
2. Joe Merchant sez: Probable cause = lack of Brand Scope. (he's suing!)
3. If they put that RJ on a treadmill...
4. We now know the advantages of rear-mounted engines!
5. Didja hear what Imus called the F/O?
6. [insert jetBlue cabin-cleaning quip here]!!
7. Age 65 will eliminate this sort of thing, according to kwick
8. Wait a couple of days and a NWA DC-9 will be right there with 'em! (Now that's Brand Scope!)
9. Note to denizens of TVC: Lengthen your runway or buy a Jeep!
10.Who needs the NTSB? The brain trust has this all figured out!

That's some very funny stuff.

Capt is a really good guy, good pilot and ALPA volunteer. He was doing OE with a new hire FO. Don't know anything about the FO. This guy is a very solid Capt with lots of time and perfect record. The only problem with the Capt is that he does thinks "brand-scope" is going to solve this problem.
 
I know both crewmembers personally. The CA is a great pilot and a great guy, and has helped lots of pilots through his involvment in ALPA. Neither one was from any sh!tty low time program. Hold off on all the quarterbacking, have a beer and be glad nothing like this has happened to you yet....Be safe.
