None of these OTHER guys would have blown the slides Either So let's put that to REST! there's no way in HECK JBLU couldn't have gotten Help if they needed it! Their managment just had to Reach out and ASK! With UAL and DAL right there on the Field? You have GOT to be kidding that they couldn't GET Help. DAL helps UAL and takes care of their Light maintenence there and they are DAMN GOOD! And theis crap of ONLY ONE airbus Towbar on the FIELD?? PLEASSSE! That's not even a GOOD Lie!
JBLU should BE Twisting in the wind for This! This makes NO sense At ALL!
And exactly WHEN was the Glide slope out in EWR?? CAL and UAL made Landings in the snow. Was it the airplane the airport or the PILOT that Couldn't make the CAT3 Approach?? Story sounds MURKY at Best!!
I remember being on low mins JFK-CDG and had to divert to Orly which was in the clear. Very hard to explain to the pax what was going on. I had just come off the 737-800 with a HUD and we could do Cat 3 engine out. Some of this kind of crap is on the Feds but they are Teflon.
