Sh*t happens dude. You cant predict everything and you cant be a wuss or else nothing will get done. There is risk in the job. No one was harmed and everyone went home. Thats a good job.

Absolutely. We work in a dynamic environment where things constantly change. There is a balance between the idiots who would punch through any line of storms and the interesting bunch that want to deviate around every little build up or green paint. You use the best judgement you can, but no one can be perfect all the time. Things happen and you deal.

Let the company, faa and alpa sort it out... I'm sure it will be training moment whether to the crew, dispatch or both.

Only Envoy has pilots with that kind of experience

Armchair quarterbacking at its best everyone. Unless your ass was in the seat dealing with said situation, you have no grounds to bash a crew.

Agreed. They did a good job getting themselves out of a dangerous situation that they put themselves in.

No people died, and no metal was bent.
Huh? How did they put themselves in this situation? They asked for an alternate, they even got a second one.

Not armchair quarterbacking at all. It's a reg that 121 operators land with 45 minutes of fuel. If you can't do it because of weather find something that works. Sure as h&ll don't opt for an unapproved airport without Arff
