Also they didn't go to a gate. They went to the ramp area. Not sure why evacuation on a closed runway would be any less safe. Ever heard of Air Canada 797? That crew didn't think the smoke was a big deal either and delayed evacuation by 90 seconds. Swiss 111? Shall I go on? |

Is it a CRJ-200?

They didn't "taxi around" wasting time after safely landing and the crew did a great job. You should go back and watch the video YOU posted before making an idiotic comment about a situation you had no part of.
Troll on in another thread. DENpilot has a long and established history of offensive behavior. Don't take it personally. |

No. The smoke in the cabin was light at worst. It was not increasing or billowing. There were most likely no firebells. So, instead of evacuating on an active taxiway or runway, they took a minute or two to taxi to a ramp. Good job. Most likely a malfunctioning PACK and isolated by the QRH. Great job by the crew. |

Tell me what scenario exists out there, to taxi to the ramp area to evacuate the aircraft. Seconds count when there is a fire on board. It is not judging, it is common sense.
1) There was never a fire on board, it was oil that leaked into one of the PACKs. 2) SkyWest SOP is to stop and evaluate the situation before acting rashly, like dumping 50+ people out onto an active runway/taxiway without first assessing the situation. 3) After the crew evaluated the source of the smoke, and deemed the likelihood of an active fire onboard to be remote, they opted to orderly deplane the pax. There was never an evacuation, because there was no need for one. An evacuation would entail all 4 exits, including the overwing exits, and galley service door. |
I Remember watching a movie in ground school about a I believe delta or northwest crew in Seattle or something that evaced a 767 after the ARFF crew told them not to and several people got hurt because of it. It's called CRM, probably were told by the trained professionals that they didn't see a immediate threat.

Most likely just a major fume event. Read up on it. People have died over those oil fumes. Aerotoxic.org
