I'm not type rated on the MD80. Nor am I interested in American Airlines.
Although they did retire 347 Senior Captains in one day about three Fridays ago.
I
have done a couple of years of Test Pilot !!!!! on the B737-600/700/800, which is why I'm courious about this incident. And if you go back to my original post, I didn't say they forgot to arm the spoilers, nor did I say they didn't arm the Auto Brake. But if you were sharp enough to notice, you would already know that.
Apparently not.

The essence of my "question" was what do you think happened? Care to throw something out there?

Some 'professional' comments rather than more of childish drivel written in your last two posts?
By the way, any old hack writer would know that aliens from Znork have been unable to penetrate the Milky Way for centuries.
Really!? What do you take me for?
