Good Job Piedmont
In today's age of anger, it is easy to forget what we do and why we train. Today while commuting from ROA-PHL on a PDT Dash-8 (the small one) the crew had to shut down an engine in flight. I barely was aware of it having been shut down!
We diverted to SBY and the event was handled so calmly and smoothly that I think hardly any of the passengers were aware of what had happened, other than that we weren't in PHL. I didn't hear any whining or shrieking about dying, etc.
Just a cool, collected crew doing their job! Nice work folks! F/A too was cool as a cucumber.

Classy. Stories like this don't need to be told because we're not in the business to get the names out, boast about our company, or prove anything. We are all great at what we do and know that, We don't need Vein stories of glory on a website or in a news article. Great job guys !

He said that if shutting down an engine resulted in landings like he had on this flight, he should do it every time!

Yes I had an eventful day
I told the DO we should add that to the landing profile. The dash lands better on one engine.
