The entire movie is garbage.
Just got home from watching this crap. I would've rather given my $20 to somebody down on his luck. Don't waste your money, even on Netflicks or Redbox.
Ridiculous "flying" scenes (Captain doing walk-around in a TR, flying 330 kias into said TR, the ol' worn jackscrew problem, fuel dumping, lost hydraulics on the MD80 evevator
, handles pulled out of the floor to go to "manual control", on and on.) Lame.
Didn't quite catch what he said, but Captain's "union rep" said something like, "when we were at Delta, blah, blah"
Couldn't care less what happened to our drunk, coked-up hero.
Avoid.
