I wasn't going to respond to your idiotic post but I just couldn't help it.
Depending on the configuration of the -75, close to 300 folks could have lost their lives and this is all you had to say.
I'd be very, very careful throwing stones from your glass house. Not sure if you're aware but since CHQ's, Republic's, or what ever you want to call us, inception in 1973 we've yet to have a fatal accident. Which is more then I can say for you "experienced" Midwest folks!
Point being, things can happen no matter how "experienced" or "inexperienced" one might be. Just in case you've been under your rock for the past few weeks, the NW guys had over 30k hrs. collectively and I'd assume the Delta crew was equally qualified.
However, I don't hear you slamming them. I'd venture to say because that wouldn't fit your agenda.
People like you make me sick! You take the first opportunity to slam your fellow brothers/sisters concerning an event that could have costs hundreds of lives.
Next time show a little class! Remember, you're supposed to be a "professional."
