Thanks for the offer Rocca, guess that I will continue. I wasn’t referring to the AAI incident, as I have NO idea as to what happened.
But lets take your B737, pick some nice short field where you will be runway limited, does your airline account for the line-up distance? Did Boeing test the aircraft with new brakes and tires? Did Boeing test the aircraft on a perfectly calm day with ISA conditions? Did Boeing test the aircraft knowing the exact weight of the aircraft? How long does it take you to say V1?
It isn’t really a case of disregarding procedures or endangering the lives of others as you so nicely put it. I would have thought that as a professional aviator you would have appreciated the situation that your colleagues may have found themselves in, and accepted that sometimes 5hit happens!
Mutt.
