Good morning...You ever fly commercial airlines????

You might be shocked at the errors committed by these highly trained people. Errors that very often put their passengers lives at stake. Of course the passengers most often are unaware of this.

I recall one major airline that landed a four engine jet at a small airport in state of Washington. The airport had only a four thousand foot runway and there were NO aircraft on the field. Now tell me is there a difference between this crew and the crew of the C-150????

Errors are made, people in DC evaluated the conditions while under the gun and did not lose sight of what was at stake. No one seems to understand that the shootdown order never came. Why? Because as a team they decided there was no threat.

Fly all the time and hubby is a weekend small plane flyer.

Of course mistakes are made but he would never never fly into a known restricted area without the communication system ON.
