That seems unlikely.

I thought this thread would be another lack of breadsticks, and cognac complaint.

It was a very unusual morning to not have a legal T/O alt within 300nm. Affected most everyone.

Well, since this is obviously a big deal, this pulling off to the runup pad stuff, let's see some numbers.

What day was this? What time?

Let's head to flightaware to see how much of a calamity it really was after you were gone.

Did you catch your wife banging a Delta pilot(s)? I bet they were wearing their hats, weren't they. I guess there are times when it's better to get home late. You shoulda pulled off in the runup pad that day.

Hang in there, bro. Get some help for your drinking problem. These things can fester, and eat you up inside. Point in case...this thread.

Yes it did. Except us.

You know, we pioneered the use of a HUD. We pioneered RNP. We can land on gravel (although not these days). We know what it takes to run an airline in adverse weather conditions. We are 80 years in this business and going stronger than ever. Someone said, nervous? That would be a no.
