A mechanic today said that the crew screwed up. Sounds like he lost his SA and went four-wheeling off the runway or C.

Jeez Why is it that Pilots are the worst Jury members? For Pete's sake, Give it a rest and give the crew the beneifit of the doubt..........

And we say the media is out of control.

Your not insinuating it may have been a mechanical problem, are you? We all know airplanes don't break.

No, he's not saying that at all. I believe he means that we, as professional aviators, should not pass premature judgment on other professional pilots. In other words, no Monday morning quarterbacking. Plain and simple.

Redeyeav8r, please correct me if I've misrepresented your comment.
