Northwest jet overshoots Minneapolis airport

I just don't see how this is possible. One hour prior to ETA we start receiving calls from the FA's saying "What is our ETA?" - even though we already told them our ETA. I used to think this was a pain in the butt since all four or five FA's would individually call up on their own and ask the same question - from now on I don't think I will mind.

As far as the starbucks thing, only pilots could come up with something so cheap!

Didn't learn this at flight school or at the airline:
Did learn this during my current unemployment:
1. Purchase a Starbucks card, load $5, and register it online.
2. Save your last "paid for" cup, or pick one out of the trash. Your discretion.
3. Refills are forever free after that. $0.52 cent charge becomes $0.00 when you present your registered Starbucks card to the cashier.
4. Lifespan of reused cup is 4-5 refills. When cup deteriorates and develops heavy leak, request new cup, pour contents of leaking cup into new cup, and begin cycle at step #2.
Discuss pros and cons to stay awake during long flights.
But hey, I'm living in a van and have time to kill on APC attempting to encourage total strangers to crack a smile....

Here's an interview with a passenger. He reports the pilots had been making announcements. Also says the "dark suits" removed a "case" from the cockpit on landing.What might that have been?

My guess is that they were talking about one of three things.
Transition to Phase 4 procedures and why they suck.
The quality of regional vs mainline pilots.
Did Lee Harvey Oswald really act alone.

I think you all should call CNN and apply for a job as the guy they interview on TV after any aviation incident. You are all apparently experts on what happened to any flight before getting any details.

Once again, we as pilots speculating on everything under the sun without knowing all the facts. When the investigation is done then we can make a judgement. I find it ridiculous that this incident and the Atlanta incident have so many "professionals" willing to hang these dudes out to dry without knowing facts. Are these guys or gals not entitled to at least some respect regarding these incidents until its proven what actually happened? Unbelievable the things we do to ourselves.
