Anyone have the details on what aircraft was on the ground? Was it taking off?? Was it crossing the active???
Kudos to the B6 crew for avoiding a catastrophe.
Something about this entire post screams "not an airline pilot".
He says "Flight had to reject a landing"...pilots say "plane went around"
He says "Ft Meyers to Newark"...pilots say "RSW to EWR"
He says "very close to the runway"...pilots say "mins" "minimums" "touchdown" "landing"
Just the fact he is making a big deal over a basic go around. As everyone has said, a go around to TOGA FD bars and a quick level off will not feel normal to a passenger or a fake 737 forum pilot
My guess is this was BWI pilot, an amateur weekend warrior, who wants to ask for a "friend" or a FA who is finishing up their commercial while working at SWA as a FA
