Non event, typical news media. We don't need any smartazz comments from the usual crowd so STFU.

The media got it right....(taxiway) FI poster is wrong (not runway) Who'd a thunk it. Was the plane damaged....could affect my spot on the SLI!!

runway, taxiway whatever. We have been known to land on both. We don't discriminate.

And yes it does affect your spot. You won't be able to hold CA now behind our 2006 guys.

No, but there will be some Houston trips falling into open time though.

Who wants to go to CLE anyway?

I think it was Jeff's way of getting more money out of pax. New rule is ticket from runway to runway. 10 dollar van rides to and from terminals.

The same reporter said slid off runway and taxiway. Doesn't anyone understand the difference and why is it the aviation is the hardest to report on accurately? Very scary indeed the plane was tilted and everything

It isn't. Reporting is equally terrible on other topics, you just don't notice as much, if at all.
