ok, then i will go down the list.

1. Fell asleep at 290 and airplane flew arrival...
A. never heard of it so i cant comment, but like i said earlier if it were true, you would think i would have heard it mentioned in the last 2 years.

2. Pilots get caught over Atlantic Ocean deviating from weather and have to penetrate level 5 TR to get back to land...
A. Ok,, that could be anything right??? sounds like one of those stories...

3. Pilots roll plane, switch seats, stall, and crash...
A. Refering to 3701, they did not ever roll the plane. steepest bank angle was 80 (that was during the stall). and yes they did crash, empty ferry flight.

4. CRJ goes off runway in MKE, pilot puts it in 4 wheel drive and taxis to gate then leaves.
A. OK 4 wheel drive???? not sure if the planes at fed ex have 4 wheel drive but we were to cheap to get that option. Like i said before he told everyone what happened, mtx had him get out and look around the plane, then told him he could taxi to the gate to let the people off, he called ground and got permision to do so, and he actually came to rest after sliding off the runway on the ramp, so he didn't have that far to go.

5. CRJ hits weather balloon pilots elect to continue to MEM for another 1.5 hours of flight time after dispatch uses "The Force" and convinces the pilots that "you didn't hit a weather balloon...We didn't hit a weather balloon..." Major damage to airplane.
A. i actually flew with captain after this happened. They weren't sure what they hit, but they knew they hit something. I don't believe in the force, so i actually don't think that was a factor. Also they were only 30 min out, and the plane was flying and behaving normal. When they got on the ground they noticed the left cowl was damaged, so they had to do an overhaul of the engine (since that is required anytime the damage occurs inflight).
