Looks like he's on the phone with scheduling, eh?

No kidding? If he's a new guy I might have given him a ride a couple times. As in started this past month.

Anyway doesn't it look like the didn't go very far down the runway?

It's been almost 2 years, but here are some facts...

-It was -fzra at the time and, yes, that is a go (within hold over time).
-The white stuff you see on the runway is ice pellets that fell after the a/c slid off the runway (notice no skidmarks).
-The a/c slid almost directly across the runway and hardly 20 feet down its length while spinning 90 degrees to the left before exiting the pavement.
-The a/c was only going a couple (that means 2) mph when it happened.
-A brand new ATIS came out right before the incident reporting the runway was cleared off and the braking action was GOOD.
-The CA had 6,500 TT.
-I would not say that the Mesa crew tried to kill anybody in this incident
-The blame/fault was put entirely on the airport and the tower for the inaccurate ATIS and NONE put on the flight crew.

The crew is ALWAYS at fault LoL. But seriously, thanks for the update!

crap just realized this was a two-year old thread, I hate thread revivals that deal with "current" incidents
