that's a good story. believe me I understand that you have to take a second to regroup after a tough landing. And with reports like what you said, anyone would be on their toes.
My situation at Reno was a beautiful clear day...calm winds at the surface. Traffic ahead, a 737, had been off the runway for over 2 minutes...he had landed long and made the LAST turnoff on 16R at reno...the LAST turnoff!!!!
we made our pirep on the runway...ATC was doing both ground and tower on tower freq so the 737 heard us.
I would have called it a dry microburst now that I know more!
That UAL 727 ...that would have been hard to watch!
but I digress.
