Suggesting that breaking the regs is commonplace and is a factor in a runway excursion that took place yesterday is classless and unfounded. The Captain on that flight had an impeccable record and massive amounts of experience in Alaska. He absolutely is not “one of those guys.”

If you’re a professional pilot I would encourage you to begin the effort to act like one. A person lost their life yesterday and that’s the tragedy. We don’t know the facts of what happened yet. Let’s wait for the final before you armchair quarterback a pilot you don’t know, who flew a plane you aren’t typed in, for a company you don’t work for. Most likely into a place you’ve never seen in weather you don’t understand.
Your arrogance is astounding. You've missed my point. I was commenting on 10/31/2018 ice on wings and a different captain.

Also- just because someone is older doesn’t automatically make them senior. In fact, did you know even if someone is flying left seat that doesn’t make him senior either? GASP The FO could be administering a PC and is indeed a check airmen. The “older, senior looking captain” could be on his second career and has min hours.

My gosh.

ANYWAYS.

It looks like the swim team made it home. The investigators are in town. Crew is home. Media is pushing the tail wind narrative. Anybody want to talk about these things instead of a plane that deiced last year?

Let’s not kid ourselves, you obviously have an axe to grind.

Maybe about how Ravn higher ups lowered the amount of PIC hours required for DUT...

Whose idea was that? Or is that how Ravn operates?

Curious why you didn’t deplane based on your concern for the captain’s judgment...

Wouldn’t have made for such an awesome “and everyone started clapping” story.
