Is that all it was? Now I see why he didn't report such a trivial excursion from the runway.
Hmmm, a rather casual remark, I would say,
if coming from a bonefide FD crew member.
Off the paved surface for 100 metres, damaged runway lights, mud all over the aeroplane are bad enough, but I wonder...how did the respective Commander so quickly assertain that there was no damage to the aeroplane, that he felt it not necessary to report the incident.
Where I have worked, this sort of nonsense is immediate grounds for suspension...and likely dismissal.
Going off the paved surface is one thing, not reporting is quite another...and
not good.
