Airsupport, what do you want those 2 pilots to do? climb out the window and "descend" the landing gear themselves? How dare they land

i know! how dare they not think of the passengers safety! if i were the captain on that flight i would have stayed in the air indefinantly. i mean if the landing gear wont come down what else are you supposed to do, land despite the gear not working??

Default And now a message from our Monday Morning Quarterback (MMQ):

Flight/Cabin/Dispatch/Airport Ops/ATC:

Good job.

One complaint:

Next time, please divert that 64 Knot 1.3 Vso airplane back to KABE.

Let KABE foam the first 300 feet of rwy 24 and leave KPHL alone!!

For whatever it's worth, I just read through this entire thread and understood from the get go what you were saying and it made me laugh....
Horrible pilots for landing with a failed landing gear (sarcasim for those of you that don't understand)

Meh, nope. I'd pick PHL for the increased chance at surviving should things have gone horribly wrong. If not, at least PDT delivered the folks to their connections on time
