PCL off the Runway in TVC--no injuries

[belchfire]

WTF were they doing at a quarter of one in the fracking morning? They shoulda been in bed by then!

Give a kid a sports car and he's bound to wrap it around a telephone pole!!!

The flight was delayed 1:25 minutes. Factor in the time change and it makes sense.

Looks like they landed with a 5 knot or so tailwind at the time of arrival 0430z. I hope the Captain was flying and not the new fo.

 

[DoinTime]

It was captain flying.

It was captain flying.

Bad weather, a long day of teaching IOE, and fatigue. Not a good combo.

Yeah, for one it most likely was the Captain flying especially with an OE fo and the weather like it was.

All you people who bash young pilots, grow up.

You know that if you were given the opportunity to be hired at an airline when you had 300, 500, 600 hours you WOULD have taken it. Don't be so modest and act like you would have turned it down. I'm tired of hearing about this low time fo crap. Big stinkin deal. I seem to remember many old guys augering big airplanes in, including a chief pilot at American. The point is, it doesn't matter who's flying the airplane, stuff can happen. It's terrible that guys lose their lives out there, but it happens, REGARDLESS of age and experience.
