They don't have a hair on their a$$ unless they STILL made the commute home.

Point I'm getting at dude, is that people can live in glass houses if they choose. They can poke holes at other airlines screwups if they want.

NO AIRLINE is immune...........

I still strongly disagree with WN's practice, as does virtually every other airline in the world.

As far as I know, the NTSB has not issued any final report. Please enlighten me if you are omnipotent and able to issue a snap judgement concerning accident causal factors long before the investigative body assigned by the U.S. government to make these determinations.

By all means, keep living in denial!

I've got plenty of time in the 737 to know that via the video when the thrust is pulled back to idle at flaps 40 that the thing was going to come out of the sky. You should have enough pitch/power awareness as well.

Maybe she had the words to one or both Kool and the Gang songs in her head?

She also wanted my ramper friend to hand push up a broken jet bridge to the plane at his station. Stuck her head out of the open cockpit window yelling at them to get the jetbridge to the plane.

I don't think that was ever in a 70's disco song.

It wasn't.

That is the real tragedy.

Stabilized approach criteria were actually met at the time the FOM requires them: 1000 feet above TDZE, aircraft on glide slope and speed, fully configured.

Why the Captain made the decision to take control of the aircraft and subsequently violate stabilized approach criteria is anyone's guess except yours, you obviosly have it all figured out long before the NTSB.
