Pakage, first off, it wasn't a a management crew, second, it wasn't a "hey nobody saw that so let's take off and not tell anyone", and third, be careful what you spout off about...you never know where you'll find yourself or what may happen to you! Most who find themselves in a situation like that NEVER thought it would happen to them.
Been over 15yrs since I was on the 72 so I contend I may have got the crew part wrong. However, I do specifically remember in ground school the biggest issue wasn't the landing at the wrong airport, but the actions after. And as for your third, I was offering that it happens everywhere for those condemning the actions. Also, if you would have read the entire thread, you would have seen my "spouting off" on judging and there by the grace of God. You are right, I will never know where I may find myself in a situation, and I don't wish this scenario upon anyone.

The biggest issue WAS the departure, but it was Not a "hey, nobody saw that so lets take off and not tell anyone" situation. It was bad headwork, bad judgement and WE were sleep deprived but it was was not a don't tell anyone situation. Management was called by us as soon as we got on the ground and then the games truly began. You don't ever think it will be you!
I never talk about a situation I'm not sure of the facts on, and neither should anybody!

Do all ATC facilities have the capability of getting/giving low altitude warnings to aircraft? I've had a controller tell us to check our altitude due to a "low altitude alert". It turned out to be a false alert. But, it certainly got our attention. This crew clearly could have used one.
