Awwww shucks. Give the
cowboy a break. He was just trying to make the reverse high-speed so he could under block and pick up more premium. I’m sure he’s a “good $h!t”.

“Breaks back” is a scary term.

But spinal compression fractures in military ejections aren’t at all uncommon. You generally wind up working the ops desk for a couple of months or (worse) the late night duty officer at the Air Division command post.

Even so, one wouldn’t want to make a habit of it.

Usually SNA is an FO landing because SNA takeoffs are all mandatory captain takeoffs... a brand new FO with just over 100 hours in the plane perhaps?

Wonder if the FA was, in fact, seated at their station? I know what the article says, but I see things when deadheading around. FA's get complacent.

Also of interest: article says the SWA spokesperson declined to answer if the plane was inspected for damage after a potential "hard landing" (which is a Term of Art*; this article doesn't make that clear for the casual reader). Then it continued to fly for a few days. Again, assuming this is accurate reporting.

NTSB will sort it out with FDR analysis (if possible) and interviews.

No judgement here; it's a challenging airport. Speedy recovery to the flight attendant.


(*) Term of Art: "A term that has a specialized or restricted meaning within a particular field or trade."

Always loved landing a Widebody jet on a runway that size, no playing around at SNA!
