You need to go back and re-read that. It wasn't "15 minutes late on a missed frequency" The last Communication with ATC was at 1756 MDT. They overflew Minneapolis at cruise altitude 1958 CDT, that's an hour and 2 minutes. They were still NORDO. They flew an additional 16 minutes before re-establishing communications at 2014 CDT. They were 150 miles past their destination at that point. This was not just a little 15 minute radio malfunction. They were out of contact for 1:16.A Squarednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-76316034005677856592009-12-08T00:24:24.900+00:002009-12-08T00:24:24.900+00:00Media spin ...

Yes...Hinting for a Christmas present, Aviatrix? Yes, boots would be a nice touch. Seriously, that is Hallowe'en costume gold. <br /><br />The article was interesting. What a pile of small mistakes which added up to a huge problem for the crew. I thought there was some exaggeration on particulars... it just didn't make sense a professional crew could be that checked out for the hour plus in the first reports. If on balance these facts are not just a pile of excuses, I hope their licenses are reinstated and the whole thing is a nasty memory in a couple years.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991660841701835065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-86911887902340306432009-12-07T18:30:29.262+00:002009-12-07T18:30:29.262+00:00Wow, 15 minutes late on a missed frequency and the...Wow, 15 minutes late on a missed frequency and they lose their ticket. <br /><br />In that light, its a totally different animal. <br /><br /> The fact that the flight was 35 minutes late departing, and 15 minutes late on the "oops", making a total of 50 minutes, makes the screaming headlines of " HOUR LONG DEATH FLIGHT " seem a tad off side. <br /><br />I've never heard this version before, but if it can be confirmed, pretty sad state of affairs.5400AirportRdSouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864920053222979747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-71492170798130503172009-12-07T18:04:59.277+00:002009-12-07T18:04:59.277+00:00Woulda looked better with green hair...Woulda looked better with green hair...kbqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00991038610362146409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-63221079695853978492009-12-07T17:05:41.558+00:002009-12-07T17:05:41.558+00:00I think you are right, thigh high boots would comp...I think you are right, thigh high boots would complement that outfit perfectly. ;-)Marc C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05593002055776765614noreply@blogger.com
