I wasn’t talking about finding the right airport. Only about the landing.

And I am saying they go together. I think finding the right airport is a generally accepted requirement for competence.

And since there is only one runway where they landed, and it was about half what they expected (at the other airport) then it's pretty important.

Not to mention I seriously doubt Southwest can dispatch to a runway only a little over 3,700 feet long.

There are three rules when flying that a pilot always needs to keep in mind at all times.

#1) Aviate - fly your airplane within its limits and within the FAR rules.

#2) Navigate - get to your destination correctly and on time.

#3) Communicate - Applies to your on-board crew and to those on the ground.

He got #2 wrong but it’s better than screwing up #1 and crashing.
