A chick named "Oliver"?

Of course not, Oliver A. (39) was captain on that flight and Maxi J. (24
and female) was FO

Maxi J. *- *This just gets better and better!
And the "experienced" 36-year-old captain gives her her "first landing" in
the middle of a cyclone - saving the day just as the winglet gets scraped
off! I thought it was cute when Karen Black flew the 747, but those
screenwriters wouldn't have dreamed of this . . .- Hide quoted text -


Well, they gotta learn somehow! I was not a million miles from there
around the same time with a neophyte FO and I let him land it. The x-
wind componenet wasn't so much and I briefed him at length on method
during the approach, but I don't think I'd have let him land with that
much x-wind.

BTW, these things are able to be slipped in a crosswind.
