Bertie I just sent this out this afternoon to our human factors people as an example of how deeply a pilot has to fly into a problem before realizing it isn't going to solve using existing control authority. Absolutely amazing! This guy is on the way to a memo from the Chief Pilot's office fairly soon I would imagine. Glad they made it out of there. Coming out of Logan International one day the guy beside me must have noticed the white knuckle grip on the arm rest, when he asked if I was OK. I just replied, "Sometimes it's better not to know what's going on" I know the feeling and I know it well. It's a pilot thing, I think. We're all control freaks. Bertie |
