‘may not end up on the runway after landing’

hmmm.


English is not a second language in Aussie, although some colloquialisms take some getting used to. Happened to be in AUS this AM, and listened to the FM stations reporting this, and it was pretty oddly reported. The major station related the story that the Captain had suggested that the passengers call home to their loved ones (best beer can, dog named blue, the old sheila, the favourite FJ Holden, etc... ). Aussies can be pretty laid back, not sure that story has any truth.

may not be able to exit the runway...
may have to stop on the runway....
etc doesn't mean we may depart the runway in a cloud of dust. But then, maybe....
tapes gonna be interesting to listen to, and one radio station may be up for a rude letter.
