Flaps50- Be careful where you throw the rocks. Your carrier has one of the worst safety records, if not the worst safety record of any carrier in the country. It's become no surprise to look on the news and see a purple tail off a runway with smoke coming from it. I shudder every time I watch you guys put down an MD-10 or 11... 3....2....1... IMPACT.


...it's amazing the exaggerated stories you guys believe about Pinnacle. The Level 5 penetration story was one of the worst case scenarios you could imagine. It was an MSP-ORF flight. Weather(thunderstorms) closed off their routing, so they diverted. Weather then closed in on their alternate and shut it down... Plan C... again fubar'd by developing storms. They finally were almost out of fuel and were prepping for ditching. They went through a thunderstorm (I dont know if it was level 5 or not, just a thunderstorm- the plane took some hail damage) to get to an airport they could land at. There's your story.


Sure there are some yo-yo's over there at my former employer- there are at every carrier.
