How would the CEO describe landing on a taxiway? I suppose that would be a "clear violation of company rules" too.

Boy, I'm sure the Atlanta taxiway landing folks are happy their fellow co-workers took the heat (the media) off of them.

After NWA shed itself of the overpaid, underworked aircraft mechanics NW finally has got a good, reliable maintenence program. At least NW is no longer seeing cooked up delays by disgrultled union members.

Think about it. If the carrier deals with these pilots, that's as far as it goes. A little hand-slapping, some reflection and in a year or two these bozos are back in the air.

But if CNN and Fox and NBC et. al. get to mine this minor incident to sell ad space and some mindless congressman picks it up and has his PR people make him a White Horse to "save" passengers from "dangerous" air crews, air fares go up, FAA gets to ponder more worthless NPRMs and the most vocal of us crawl back into our little boxes to wait for the next opportunity to spring forth and bark loudly.

Grow up or watch a movie.

Yea I agree, the pencils they use to sign the paperwork now are very high quality. They are so good at the maintenance now they don't even have to leave the office to make the aircraft airworthy.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Virgo

Mercury is turning retrograde at just the right time, because it's telling you to consider the validity of your long-term aims and aspirations. If they stand about as much chance of seeing the light of day as you do of winning the Lottery, then you need to streamline them or even abandon them and start again. So think about what you want from life and how you're going to get it. Children and romance may be quite erratic during this phase.
