Hey look boys, don`t kill the messenger...I think you all know that 5191 could not have taken off on the long runway and ended up where it did. The cockpit crew screwed up and every one paid for it. A quick glance at the rmi would have shown that the runway heading didn`t jive with the instruments. Houston Hobby has a similar "gotcha"...how do I know? well you figure it out. I`m guessing that Comair has a standard take off briefing similar to my airline..ever heard of "WARTS' and "NATS" ? We are all sorry as hell that this happened, but it did and now Comair and Delta are gonna have to suck it up and pay for it, and I don`t mean just money, but there will be plenty of that outgoing......This is my last comment on this...sorry that the truth is so painful.
