You're apparently using a different definition of the word photogenic than the one I'm familiar with.

No, not seriously. The winds weren't 7 kts, they were 04VRB

someone from her pilot union should have "QC'd" this video before it was let out to the rest of the world to view.

Or, maybe someone with a background in aviation safety, etc. It's pretty embarrassing to her and to the profession as a whole.

Because those guys all said HELL NO!

I’m not watching the video because I already know how rediculous that place is. Attending and graduating from riddle is something I will always regret. Mistakes of my youth.

Are these the same broads that did the whole flight with gear/flaps down? :

Default And another ERAU simulator interview gone bad

Man these ERAU people need to stay away from the media. I just found this other set of interviews done not too long ago as well. Thank goodness the general public has no idea just how bad this makes all of us look!

What's with her slamming boards on touchdown? I don't recall losing ground lift dump on the CRJ when single engine. Granted, it's been like 15 years since I've touched one, so my CRJ-fu is weak.

Look at ED2 and the boards had already auto-deployed... either to add drama or that veteran sure does know the systems!
