So... I'm unclear, with the balls to the wall, did he retain the control stick?

Or did it become a non-towered field?

Some things just shouldn't be done by amateurs.

Also what was the runway condition code?

I nominate the United Captain yesterday at ORD whose PA was 4-5 minutes long complaining about how it wasn't his fault they were late and it was unusual that the airport was allowing departures and arrivals on the same runway....

.....all on Tower frequency.

Honorable mention to his FO who should have stopped him no later than the 20 second mark.

Around what time was it? Sounds epic enough to try and find the tape. I'm assuming 9R?

Not to pile on, but I nominate the UAL Captain with the truck nuts hanging from his roller bag, strolling through MSP.

F/O was walking about 20 feet behind him...

Our takeoff time was 1329. It happened just as we were cleared to lineup and wait. So, narrowing it down, maybe 1326ish?

As in the fake ball sack that people hang off the back of their trucks? If so we need to skip right past Pro Standards and literally beat him. What in the hell is he thinking?! Way to represent the profession. Raging idiot
