The NW overflight, what REALLY happened

Not sure that merely landing on a taxiway is cause for license revocation. Eh? You could easily miss a helpless aircraft and/or other vehicles, aside of the likelihood of the taxiway not being long enough to prevent an overrun. If that ain't cause for license revocation, an arrest is the least severe censure. That would be a single momentary mistake; the NW pilots made a series of careless mistakes over an hour or more. Having missed the scheduled TOD by as much as half an hour and then too realizing that something might be amiss only by accident seems way odd for two aviators with that much flying experience between them. The other oddity is the meal comment. A meal at 5.30 pm?? And I'm sure pilots would need to be not eating pre-TOD because the PF needs to conduct an approach briefing, among other things. I saw a bizjet land at the wrong airport a few years ago. Although this isn't uncommon, in this day and age, landing at the wrong airport is utterly unpardonable. I recall that 5 years ago an Airbus A319 landed thus near Rapid City. Unless they'd keyed in the wrong airport data into the FMC and/or violated the SOP by hand-flying during phases when they shouldn't have been, it beggars belief that an FBW a/c could've managed that!

To me, that rhetoric falls flat. I am an instrument rated PPL (like many here, yet unlike some of the most vociferous) You talking to me, boyo? If so, you need to know that a good meal for me is grilled rattler with beans, and a big cold glass of cougar milk. Cactus thorn for a tooth pick.

Well, I'm truly sorry to deflate your prentention, but in fact I was responding to someone else, your own existance having escaped my scrutiny heretofore. This misgiving corrected through your efforts, I must confess it changes little in the analysis, but I would hasten to add that help IS available. With therapy you can overcome your fear and fly again, like other people. Now as I bid you ado for the day, my advice is to live in the moment, and find yourself. You might even want to go look for America. -- Mark inventor/artist/pilot/guitarist/scientist/philosopher/ scratch golfer/cat wrangler and observer of the mundane.
