I cannot believe we're even having this conversation. In ALL cases, declare an emergency and deviate. IN ALL CASES. KAL007 was an unknown aircraft to the Russians and was not in radio contact at all. ICAO protocols are clear about aircraft that have declared an emergency. An emergency aircraft will NOT be shot down.

Never fly through a thunderstorm people...NEVER!

Carl,
Of course, KAL comment was tongue in cheek. It was a tragic overreaction to cold war military needling and hundreds of people lost their lives.
Thankfully in this case the Boeing took the brunt of the damage and still safely delivered it's pax to the destination.

I wonder how well the new gen carbon epoxy paper mache planes will stand up to the internal dynamics of a severe thunderstorm. In other applications the materials are pretty strong right up til their limits then tend to completely shatter like safety glass. Hopefully we'll never find out.

Thought for the day:
Why do some captains feel it necessary to take the aircraft on landing rollout while we're still somewhere around 100-120 kts?

Sometimes I do this because I don't want to be transitioning controls, and taking instructions from the tower at the same time. If it's in a hub where I know where I'm going anyway, then it's no big deal.

Generally speaking, should do just fine. Quite possibly better. Repairs are where the difference can get scary (cost/complexity). Though sounds like they wont be repairing this one anyway.

Why wouldn't you just ask him or her? What would be wrong about that?

Do the pedals not work on the right side of the CRJ? Short of making a 90 degree turn, an F/O should be able to perform any other taxi maneuver.

It's my personal preference to be in control of the aircraft while the FO receives the taxi instructions, that's all.

Or you could let the FO continue to fly the aircraft and handle the radios yourself.
