The airing of grievances...
I can't even believe I'm gratifying this thread with a response, but here it goes anyway.
Ultrarunner - the next time I want to backpedal out of something serious that I said but probably shouldn't have, I'm going to call you. I'm not going to insult your wife or anything of that nature, but you come on here, blast CHQ, and then try to say "You guys don't even understand I was trying to give them CREDIT for going around?" No. "Not buyin' it, counselor." You said you were going to post the flight number and dates? I'm glad you didn't, but what the *ell? Post it already! If you're giving credit to someone, just an fyi here, you don't use words like "moron" or "idiots" or plenty of other colorful phrases that have all been trotted out in this thread.
AWACoff -- let's just say for a minute that you're ABSOLUTELY right - that there was NO way they should have taken off. You and your captains or F/O's are totally exempt from having done something stupid? Let's see...I seem to remember a CRJ sliding off the runway in Madison last year. That was Air Wisc...do we really need to drag out all the incidents and cite how many dumbasses are at each airline and how CHQ or Air Wisc have things like this happen on a daily basis? Do we? Well, maybe we do. But I digress -- I bow down to the almighty bretheren of Air Wisconsin -- we all aspire to be you, AWACoff, we really do. So we can go forth and populate the world and make idiotic spineless statements like yours. Trust me, everyone in RDU thanks you for alerting them to what could have been a really terrible situation. And thanks, now everyone at CHQ knows what a dumbass they are, and we have such a bright shining example to look up to, seriously, thanks AWACoff.
This kind of *hit is ridiculous. Can't believe it inspired me to write even this much - but give me a freaking break.
