Northwest Airlines plane makes emergency landing at Albany airport
Monday July 17, 4:36 pm ET
A Northwest Airlines plane made a successful emergency landing at Albany International Airport just after 1 p.m. on July 17.
Flight 1515 from Albany, N.Y., to Detroit had just taken off from the airport when the crew identified a problem with one of the DC-9's two engines. The crew decided to return to the airport.
While taxiing to the Northwest gate the aircraft experienced some problems with its braking system, according to Albany International Airport spokesman Doug Myers. The passengers left the aircraft on the runway and were bused to the main terminal and rebooked on other flights. No one was injured. The aircraft will be out of service until repairs can be made.

Pilots are overpaid?

It mentions pay in that article?

I do have to agree with you, Americans value money; money motivates them to perform correctly at their responsibilities. Which would explain why poor people commit more crimes, they aren't getting paid enough so they lack motivation to do the right thing.

Yea, it all makes sense to me, now that you mention it.

Legacy payscales = uke:

Those pansies gave away the farm in concessions, then they whine about RJ's ruining the industry. They should look at themselves. The CAL newhires work for Mexican janitor/RJ FO wages. Way to go, give it all up in concessions so that management can cash bigger bonus checks.

:smash:
:crying: = Legacy pilots.

:uzi: = Legacy management.

Thanks to thousands doing the job for much less they had to give away the farm or lose the job. Get it? Noone forces CAL newhires to accept the job do they? Wise up!

U flew the EMB 145 and now fly for CAL on 737s I bet. So quit whining. You are the problem too.

After all the concessions at Delta, they have pay rates and work rules very similar to Continental. Why were the Continental pilots so far below the Delta pilots prior to Delta's concessions? Difficult to compete when the competition pays its pilots 40% less don't you think.

Because the Continental pilots had already been through all this years before.

Why would they return to the runway to deplane if they were taxiing to the gate?

...
Its like after a long taxi delay (EWR) the passengers tell their friends that they sat on the runway for 45 minutes....what they closed that runway for 45 minutes?
....

Today, I flew on Delta. While descending thru about 18,000 feet ( we were high) the pilots dinged the bell. The FAs said that we were "cleared to land"...What?? we havent even been cleared for the approach.
...
why cant people get the story straight?
