I'm not either, just making sarcastic satire. With that said;
Don't forget, the passengers on the ATL flight were lucky there WASN'T an aircraft on the taxi way.
Don't forget, the passengers on the DAL (north) flight were lucky the aircraft didn't run into a fuel situation.
Don't forget, the passengers that lost their lives in LIT and Colombia were NOT lucky.
In the span of a couple days, there could have been a loss of life that far exceeded multi year span of COMAIR, Corpex, and Colgan COMBINED.
See what I'm getting at?
Good point, reference the UAL 744 in SFO. ANOTHER case of a bunch of passengers being very, very lucky. It wasn't the fact that there was FOUR ATP/744 type rated pilots in the front of that airplane that kept them alive.

But they didn't. So no, I don't see. Don't turn this into a body count debate. This was a pretty funny thread.

Interesting take on it. So what you're saying is, it's OK to make mistakes where people could have been killed, but they weren't
You're missing the point, it's not about "body count". But you can bet if both these incidents turned out differently, it would be about the body count.
No, it's really not.

YOU... AREN'T... VERY... INTELLIGENT, SIR...
Near misses that could have resulted in mass destruction and loss of life aren't even worth discussing, are they?? Unless they happen to a regional crew, of course

Yea, If this were to happen to a regional crew, they would be ripped apart, both here and in the media.

Most of what I have said is taken out of context. Think about the "this thread was funny" comment I made and see if you can connect that to anything else in this thread.
I don't think you should equate your self worth to other people's errors. It just doesn't get you anywhere, other that appearing to overcompensate for lack of skill/knowledge/experience. I'm sure, in time, we will find out exactly why things happened the way they did.
I'm a big believer of the individual responsibility of each and every pilot. The effectiveness/safety/judgement of the pilot lies within that pilot. How he/she approaches situations and learns from them. To me, it does not stem from their place of employment.
