This video has 3 million views. There are questions about the qualifications of both pilots. Author indicates it is usually standard procedure for the captain to land in difficult conditions if the first officer is inexperienced even if the first officer is flying the plane. They were landing with heaving crosswinds as well as snow. Pilot was supposedly a simulator trainer. First officer was 26-year old pretty girl with limited experience. Delta had tried to remove another woman pilot as mentally ill because she complained about safety problems.

So it was the young woman who was most likely flying, while the more experienced male pilot was on the radio. Not to jump to any conclusions, of course. They haven’t told us anything yet.

Or it was just a serious slip landing gone bad.

Heavy crosswind landings are no joke. It is an absolute wonder these accidents do not happen everyday.

Once again, it was not a heavy crosswind.

The wind was ONLY 30 degrees off the nose and ONLY 23 knots gusting to 33 knots. That’s ONLY 12 to 16 knots of crosswind.

Something else happened.

How unusual is it for them to hide and not tell who the pilot was?

I’m guessing it is incredibly unusual?
Why is it allowed to hide who it was?

Wonder what could possibly motivate this, can’t be good

I do not read transcripts that have timing markers for the video.

So disrespectful of READERS.

I always edit out ADVERTISEMENTS out of my posts, for example.
