"wind check..."
If I was going to blast a zinger, it'd be a lot more obvious than that.
Not that I care that much but the article I read said they stayed on the plane until buses came to shuttle them in. They didn't evacuate so they were probably told to gather the personal items. Just a guess.Some d-bag taking a selfie? Check

But yes, check and mate on the selfie shot.

Pretty sure that this wasn't an evacuation, but a pretty organized deplaning to a bunch of buses that would take the pax to the terminal. There's plenty of angst to be spent over the actual evacs that see people grabbing carry ons, but I don't think this is one of those times.
I had the great fun of blowing snow while at home on reserve in The D, and I can tell you that there was a 15 minute period around the time of this excursion where things went from a benign snow to that nasty, wet, icy, crap that freezes your wipers to the window and makes everything crapy and slippery. Glad no one was hurt.

Yet, this is the second -88 that has gone off roading in as many years.
For this reason (and the things associated with why it's happened) I hope and pray I never have to fly one. I like my airplanes with no surprises, like symmetric brakes and TR's.

A bit of cart in front of horse, dont you think?
Nope. Hoping I never have to fly one, is just exactly that. You must be reading between imaginary lines. There are no guarantees in this business, and I don't do innuendos.

Honestly, I don't see the problem with taking a post-evac selfie. Taking your luggage though...Some d-bag taking a selfie? Check

I dunno if you're a Airbus captain or not, but isn't the CFM (or even the Rolls/GE) on the 330) notorious for launching reverser panels off the motor?
I seem to recall someone on here mentioning that one a while ago.

McDonnall Douglas builds real pilots. Everyone else is just a wannabe.
Oh. I fly RJ's around. They're good airplanes, if they can leave the gate without pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del first.
