SkyWest smoke in cabin
 
Just curious... is it SOP at Skywest to taxi around, wasting valuable minutes after landing, while you have indications of a fire inside your aircraft?:rolleyes:

Why do people feel the need to pull out their phones and start recording everything?

Too bad you weren't on the jumpseat so you could get 'em squared away. :rolleyes:

Seriously, why do you feel the need to judge if you weren't there? Good job to the crew for getting it on the ground and getting people out safely.

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.

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.

I did watch the video, and it is clear they are not on the runway evacuating, they are on the ramp area. :rolleyes:

Smoke in the cabin isn't an indication of an active fire aboard the aircraft. With the light smoke as seen in the video, it is far safer to take two mins to taxi to the gate than deplane on the runway.
