This could have happened to any of us. Nothing wrong with refusing 29, and nothing wrong with flying it! A loaded up guppy 900ER is probably the most landing performance limited jet in the fleet… but rivaled by the 764, and it’s amazing how quick it’ll stop with a big headwind on 29. However, being focused on the approach and short runway plus big wind vref addition, I’ve always ducked under “a bit,” honestly without real SA on how close that turnpike is. Won’t do that anymore, and I’m grateful it’s a lesson learned that didn’t cost anyone their lives. Hope the crew involved gets back out on the line soon
