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:

I hate pilots

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.

Ah, and how would one know that?

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?

"One woman called her husband, and well he didn't answer but uhhh""

Anyone else literally lol at that part? First class reporting 😂

Oh, you must have been there. SMH.

Is it a CRJ-200?

DENpilot has a long and established history of offensive behavior. Don't take it personally.

Please. Your knowledge of history is poor at best.

The crew asked the tower if smoke or flames were visible from the tower. 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.

You're a moron.

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

We should all be happy an attitude like yours isn't in the FFDO program. Carry on. Stop feeding the troll.

Not exactly popular at a previous or current employer either.

"Have you ever been asked to resign?"

There's always one, isn't there?

Great job getting everyone to safety...that's what matters.

Active runway/taxiway?? Last time I checked when someone "declares" an emergency, they shut that piece of pavement down until the all clear has been given for the situation. But this cat must be one of those know it all pilots

It is never a good idea to unnecessarily evacuate an aircraft outside of ramp areas, whether or not the runway or taxiway is shut down. You are correct, they will shut down and isolate a runway or taxiway when an emergency aircraft lands on it, but unless your airport only has one of both of those, it will continue to operate on the other runways. Once the paranoid passengers start the evacuation, many will just start running away to get as far away as possible. There is no one out there to direct them and many, confused, will just start heading toward the nearest buildings. Now you have people scattered across the airport trying to get to the nearest building. It is FAR more dangerous than a ramp area.

Handled like true professionals.

Incident: Skywest CRJ2 at Chicago on May 1st 2017, cargo smoke, smoke in cockpit and cabin

A Skywest Canadair CRJ-200 on behalf of American Airlines, registration N866AS performing flight OO-2936/AA-2936 from Chicago O'Hare,IL to Cedar Rapids,IA (USA) with 51 passengers and 3 crew, was climbing out of Chicago when the crew donned their oxygen masks, stopped the climb at 6000 feet reporting cargo smoke and diverted to Chicago DuPage Airport for a safe landing about 10 minutes after departure. The crew requested to turn into the wind after landing, then advised they had been discharging fire agent into the cargo bay and requested fire services to inspect the cargo bay. Following emergency services reporting not seeing any smoke the aircraft continued to the terminal, passengers disembarked normally via stairs. Fire Fighters subsequently reported they could smell smoke.

Passengers reported almost immediately after becoming airborne haze occurred in the cabin, the flight attendant initially attempted to calm them down advising this was only mist, however there was also a clear smell of smoke. Shortly thereafter the passengers noticed the aircraft was maneouvering to land.

The FAA reported the aircraft diverted to DuPage Airport reporting smoke in the cockpit.

The remainder of the flight was cancelled.
