Capt. Timothy Cheney, 54, of Gig Harbor, Wash., and First Officer Richard Cole, 54, of Salem, Ore., said in documents filed Nov. 24 with the National Transportation Safety Board that controllers didn't follow rules and practices contained in the Federal Aviation Administration's air traffic control manual and didn't coordinate effectively with Northwest dispatchers. The documents don't offer any details on those violations.
OOOOKAAAAYYYYY Can someone remind me who had the keys to the jet????
To be fair here... at least the skipper didn't blame his dog for chewing up the PLOG which could have been a reasonable cause for overflying MSP
Or better yet... Cheney could have beat his chest and proclaimed he saved they day when the cabin crew help him pull his head out of his ARSE when asked "When are we landing
?
Come on... what do you say... let's help Cheney keep his job and his license by adding more excuses toward his defense.
