JPJP
wait a second...I took the time to reread this little argument a few times...exactly what is wrong where?
oldboeingdriver asked some questions about what your post to 185
if the first officer was inherited from the airtran purchase, that is interesting to know...it actually may throw some light on training process, and retraining.
if he is not from airtran, just saying: the fo is NOT a former air tran pilot would have been enough.
and yes we would all like to know what happened...if its a plane problem we would all like to know.
if someone screwed up, we would like to know too.
(DOES anyone recall a crash where an MD80 series operated by DELTA landed about an inch short of the threshold of runway 13 at LGA? cream;ed the main gear off...turned out the pilot had contact lenses that offered both far and near visions...and OOPS.)
Wondering if there was a vision problem somewhere.
but jpjp...I think you are way hot under the collar without a good reason to be.
