I'm not either, just making sarcastic satire. With that said;
Don't forget, the passengers on the ATL flight were lucky there WASN'T an aircraft on the taxi way.
Don't forget, the passengers on the DAL (north) flight were lucky the aircraft didn't run into a fuel situation.
Don't forget, the passengers that lost their lives in LIT and Colombia were NOT lucky.
In the span of a couple days, there could have been a loss of life that far exceeded multi year span of COMAIR, Corpex, and Colgan COMBINED.
See what I'm getting at?

Good point, reference the UAL 744 in SFO. ANOTHER case of a bunch of passengers being very, very lucky. It wasn't the fact that there was FOUR ATP/744 type rated pilots in the front of that airplane that kept them alive.
