Well I will repeat...

Here are the popular choices, based on past experience:

- Do nothing, and let the captain crash the plane
- Do something, and you crash the plane
- Start reading your SOPS manual
- Call OPS, ask them what to do
- Ask the stewardess to find a capt deadheading in back

----------------------------------

Forget the call outs...did you see the capt slump over?

The scary part about this, is that most of you opt for this guy to stop...in reality, how many of these airliners are overloaded, don't have balanced fiield numbers, and the capt knew he HAD to go...didn't tell anyone ofcourse....

Don't believe me? Go out today to the airport and see plane after plane use up 80% -90% of the runway just to rotate.

This kills me...one poster: 'you can stop the aircraft, provided your trained to do so'

So when does the FO, not get ' pull the levers back and put your feet on the brakes training'? No joke, but are FOs that weak these days...are airlines literaly putting in people that can't stop a plane? Or rotate it and get around the pattern?

This has got to be a wind up, and not for real....

But it's good for laugh.....
