We can all learn something from incidents like this...especially the regional topguns. The point to be taken is if you spend +20 years as an airline captain, you're going to experience severe turbulance at some point. It's how you react to it that matters. Flying into an airport with heavy TS last week with an RJ in tow. We made it in, but they had to abort their attempt to the approach. The level of stress and anxiety in the pilots voice was one step away from declaring an emergency. Granted, the wx wasn't forecast ..and it was BAD...so they made the right choice.
