Yea right! lol. We don't have AT hiring practices or requirements. Just saying bud

I'd be reeeaaally careful before opening this door . . . . but, hey, knock yourself out.

A wise man once said, "Be certain you know the answer . . . before you ask the question".

Just sayin' . . . .

Nobody needs to pile on this accident (amount of damage could make it one)......

Could have been anybody.

Anyone that thinks otherwise is deluding themselves.

I was wondering if the media would overplay this story and one sure did, The Huffington Post reports as " Another Crash Landing - This Time In New York!" Wow!

Upgrade relatively inexperienced first officers?! My upgrade is going to be a twenty year upgrade!

Cool I hope you merge in 19 years and some start up places a bunch of new hires in front of you, that were in grade school when you got hired. That is what happened to 1987-1989 Usair pilots.

Our local news called it a "nose-dive" into the runway.

I want to know how many people jumped out the a$$ end of the plane...

If you read the comment that I was referencing, then you would know why I posted this.

Maybe, the big rut at the runway intersection had something to do with this, and its time to fix it! Always a rough ride over that bump.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

So Jet,

Have you told the Chief pilots office or filed an ASAP about this rut? Or should they just "know" it's there?

If a tree falls in the forest analogy....

Maybe we should have it all linked up - NASA/ASAP/FlighInfo.

You come here, your posts generate an automated form!

And now I'll sit back and watch the praise roll in. . . . still waiting. . .

Runaway Tire?

Here's a video of the landing.

Here's a video from inside the cabin. An amusing announcement from one of the FAs when some pax stand up - "Ladies and gentleman, we're not there yet. Please sit down".

Seconds after the jet stops somebody starts yelling - "should we open the doors ?". You can almost feel those passengers straining at the leash to jump out the exits. Are SWA cockpit crews trained to make an immediate announcement regarding remaining seated after an abort, or any situation that may precede an evacuation ? I'm curious and not being critical. I'm always concerned that some muppet is going to jump out into a spinning engine.
