Only the pre-lim report is posted on the NTSB website.

Until everything is posted, it is pre-mature to grossly heckle the pilots.
At the same time, I think the vast majority of people would agree that landing on a relatively short field, contaminated, w/ a tailwind isn't a great idea.

Also, if memory serves me right, the pilots had some data that indicated that they could stop on the field under the conditions they were told of.....but, the braking action was actually closer to nil than it was fair or poor.

And w/ nil, wasn't a chance in hell they could have stopped it, don't think even a brick one landing would have given them enough runway.


Almost any other airline would be hanging these guys out to dry....it's get it done, move the pax, but if anything goes wrong.....it's safety is job 1-can't believe our pilots hung it out like that, we would have totally supported their decision to divert. Bottom line, our pilots are encouraged to do the right thing.....just a pilot problem, not a corporate culture problem
