Add the cops to that list. My understanding is it was the MSP cops and FBI that released those guys names in the first place.

These are 2 lucky dudes, they land on a taxiway and due to the following day's events, they became forgotten. They better pitch in for their fallen NWA brothers' thanksgiving turkeys....and then some!

I have a friend from my previous carrier that had an emergency a few weeks ago (the usual zero flap landing).

Airport cop was waiting for them in the jet bridge...started quizzing him and stuff.

He simply told him, "you can read my name off my badge and get the report from the Feds after I submit it through the proper means...that's all you need to know."

That's how we all need to handle it.

The NW 188 guys blew it in that regard...

I have absolutely nothing against cops....That said, what does this guy (the cop) think he's going to get out of questioning a Pilot about an emergency? I mean seriously......

I had the same happen in DTW after an occurence of the same nature, and another...and another, haha.

Reportedly, the DL guys in the "Mike" incident had a similar experience.

Nothing says "you need to talk to me" like an airport cop....

Last time I checked, the centerline taxiway lights are green. The edge lights are blue. Hope this helps!

For those who missed it:

YouTube - Don't Talk to Cops, Part 1


As suggested, this holds doubly true for the media!

Exactly, the only legal requirement is that you identify yourself. Anything offered beyond that can only bring potential harm.

Most of the time they are just filling out an incident report to account for the emergency response. They keep statistics on calls and response actions, how long it took, how often they are called, etc ... .

Not the centerline lights; the man is talking about centerline lights.

I don’t think ASAP applies to this incident. And again, we will have to wait till the investigation is concluded.
