can happen to any of us. We were turning for the jetway in PWM a few weeks ago. A bit windy...super cold. As we were making a left turn and then straightening out, the back end still had some sideways inertia...we were barely moving too. We knew it was probably going to be slippery.

Onced we saw what was happening...hit the brakes and tried to stop our fwd motion. The back slid maybe a few more inches. Once ALL motion was stopped, we continued the last 30 feet or so.

Strange feeling going ever so slighty sideways in an airplane on the ground.
 
I believe the point of this thread is if SkyWest had a union this would not have happen. Especially if that union was ALPA. :cool:







eP.
 
I've taxied off the runway and encountered a completely ice covered taxiway. You're just along for the ride at that point. Hope that's what these two dealt with.
