Put Down The Laptops and Fly the Plane NWA

I bet they were distracted by each other. Using your laptop sounds better than your doing your co-pilot.

"These guys have had 80% of their procedures and policy in their airline get changed over the past few months, plus the way they bid changed very significantly this month."


Read between the lines...The excuses are coming out...The new procedures shouldn't even be a factor unless you are trying to make excuses......

So every time the NTSB investigates an accident, they put out a "probable excuse"?

No, they put out the facts - an "explanation," to use a fancy word I heard somewhere.

Step away from the keyboard.

Yup...

No excuses for what they did. They farked up bad... and what's coming to them is coming.

I can see that their explaination (both excuse and explaination start with the same to letters, Joe. They do not mean the same thing. Pull out the webster's next time) is plausible for what was actually going on in the cockpit, though.

It's ok joe. You can admit you were wrong.

You accused Peanuckle of making an excuse as to why they did this. He did no such thing. He was simply saying that the explanation for how this happened was plausible. In other words, believable.

He in no way said it was a valid excuse or justification for their actions.

What's getting stupid isn't the media coverage. Who can blame them? These two morons keep changing their story to make this whole situation look more and more egregious each time. First everyone thought they were asleep. Then they said "no, we were in a heated discussion" about company policy. Now they say they were on their laptops. They are progressively making this profession look more and more like a joke with each statement. Tomorrow they're going to say they were mutually masturbating.

The media has multiple goals. Sensationalism and accountability are among them. They found a sensational story, and they want accountability. No thanks to these two d**chebags. It only took a few months for multiple boneheaded incidents to make what Sully did for pilot PR to completely be overshadowed and vanish.

Wait a second. Is that not allowed? Damnit!

Should have been running "Flight Aware" in the backround.

Hopefully they're over age 60 anyway...

CA is 53-- a 1985 hire, FO is 54, hired in 1997.

Why do you hope that?
