SORRY GUYS BUT IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THE CAPT OF THIS A/C HAD NO BUSINESS BEING DRIVEN OUT ONTO THE SNOWY/ICY RUNWAY. AFTER LIVING AND WORKING IN SNOW ALL MY LIFE YOU CANNOT MAKE A CREDIBLE JUDGEMENT OF RUNWAY CONDITIONS FROM THE FRONT SEAT OF A LAND ROVER. THERE IS ONE HELL OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES ON A LAND ROVER IN SNOW THAN TRYING TO ATTEMPT A T/0FF IN THESE CONDITIONS IN A HEAVILY LADEN B737-800.
ESPECIALLLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO ABORT--NOT SMART.
