Hey Ironbutt 57

I remember that too. Wasn't that around the time two Republic pilots in a Republic MD-80 were arguing during taxi about the merger with NWA and forgot the checklist resulting in attempting a T/O with no L.E. or T.E flaps down? They crashed into a freeway a few hundred meters from the end of the runway killing over a 100 people. Whatever the investigation finds in this latest case there is no excuse in either case for being that inattentive. This isn't about Karma Ironbutt57, it is about actions and/or the lack of them.
