I did have a CA line up on the dirt in similar conditions once. The runway lights were obscured and barely visible so he referenced the vasi... but on the wrong side. He was old, fortunately I was young then with good vision.

I for one never wanted to be stuck at a regional or low cost carrier if I hit a runway light or bumped a tug. It’s just good to know that, worst case, you can end your career in a 787 ... not an Embraer.

I would argue that a better strategy to get to the majors would be to carefully run performance numbers, and land in the zone out of stabilized approaches.
As opposed to wrecking planes, hoping you don't get fired, and that the flow will somehow maybe still work.
Flow works for a GED, a checkride bust, and maybe a DUI. Doubt it would work for this, even if they had it. Good news is the truck driving schools are also paying bonuses right now.

Then technically, when DAL/CAL/AS and whomever else has landed on a TAXI WAY, they crashed also? When AA put it down 1000’ (IIRC) short in an MD80 but still taxied to the gate, did they crash?
I mean, it’s “off the runway” and all.....

If these guys screwed up they will lose their jobs, last I checked the flow agreement stops when you get fired. If you smash into a tug in your Embraer because of negligence on your part you’re probably going to lose your job...
