That's why you are paid the bug bucks man up and be a PIC. ... I have thousands of hours in the plane, like any plane has shortcomings but the **** I see spewed on here is no where close to the truth. Not a manly airplane just fly on profile and on speed, LOL your one of the guys that cried like a beeyatch cause CAL guys got profit sharing a few years ago even though it cost you nothing , but when we are owed something for 5 years it's a different deal..... irony huh??
Just a footnote: the -900 that slid just off the end of 27R almost 2 years ago at ORD had breaking action reported good with a light headwind. Unfortunately they were the first arrival that morning to explore the the end of the runway past the high speed. It was nil breaking (unreported) in that area and off they went. There was a four wheel drive Jeep that responded to the scene and it was spinning all four. Of course we are all aware of being skeptical when it comes to breaking action reports. Carry on.....
