come on boys & girls knockit on the head
it was the towers fault early in the morning,s**t happens thats why we go around ??????????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BIG FAT DEAL

I was there on the 17/12/03
 

Yes, we start taxi at 07.20 and takeoff at 07.53. We were holding on sequence for 25 minutes when a 737 of easy was cleared to line up and wait BEHAIND a landing 737 on short final. The easy copilot read out the message correctly, telling "BEHAIND the landing traffic line up and wait". At the same time he was speaking, the 737 starts to move, slowly, and cross the red bars who were on at this moment! (my captain fail to have a heart attack loocking that...)

STN tower says:" FR... go around, I REPEAT, FR... go around!"
"easy! you were ask to wait until the FR land.... etc..."


The easy Captain says:" I´m sorry; my mistake."

We all can do a mistakes, but this one is so extrange because the F/O collationate the STN message correctly, so even if the Captain was doing PA adress or talking on other freq. I can´t understand why the F/O don´t stop the aircraft inmediatly...

The result was the go-around of the 737-200 of FR. They land 8 minutes later, just before our takeoff.

So there it is!

A mistake, acknowleged, and followed by a go around.

Hardly headline stuff I think.

Someone who was there said:

Why don't YOU knock it on the head? Sounds like it had ****** all to do with the tower.

Captain Magoo, if you weren't there don't post a comment to make others think you know what you are talking about....

We go out of STN regularly at that time and it's often like the start of Le Mans.......

Pretty quiet today though.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS !
