I would imagine Gulfport (GPT) and Keesler (BIX) might see similar issues.

Of the +/-20 that have happened to US air carriers in the past 20 years, it is interesting that three have happened at the same airport when flying the same route.

Ouch. Little retraining is a non-event, but the jabs they'll get from fellow pilots for a while will definitely have them double checking runways lol

Yes. Dumb decision. It will be started again in the regional section ( where it belongs!)

I hope that is all they get....

I know one of the guys pretty well, he can take a joke. I bet he'll even make up a few jokes of his own.

I think considering the many factors as to why this has happened repeatedly over the years....retraining should be the most to come out of this event from the crew's perspective. Now, I can also see a few modifications to certain company information sources as well.

Or, and I know this is a novel concept, how about certain FAA/ ATC procedures to help prevent this from happening in the future. After all, history tends to repeat itself....let's use some of this valuable information and correct the human factor issues surrounding the event. Wait, I'm talking all crazy again. Why would the FAA want to take information and use it to fix problem airports?!? :crazy:

Might not landing at the right airport be the PILOT's responsibility? After the ILS always ends at the runway.
