DOH

It will be interesting to find out exactly how that happened? Sucks to be those pilots though, I guess we all make mistakes.

The crazy thing, is that it's happend A LOT more than is being publicized.

Probably the most famous unpublicized incident is when a TWA flight had an emergency and landed at the 'nearest suitable airport'. MikeD might be able to elaborate, but probably not!

Could you tell us what happened?

Nope!

My "conspiracy theorist quotient" is sky high this week, an explanation may teeter me over the edge into the abyss!
 
Doug, we are at the JetCareers chat. If you answer any faster you might as well join us.

It probably won't last much longer anyways.
 
So when this landing thing happens, do the pilots get a little letter in their personnel file? Does either pilot bare the brunt of this mishap or is a crew mishap vs. a captain mishap? If you can't answer for professional reasons I would understand.
 
Has anyone seen Air America when the chopper pilot goes near that truck and starts messing with the trucker? He then gets a letter in the mail from the FAA cancelling his license. If I ever got my license taken away I would probably move to another country to fly.lol
 
Rule #1: Violations are handed out in pairs

But it'll most likely go to the FAA. The airline will review it's procedures and if it's determined that the crew did not follow the companies procedures to the absolute "T", they'll probably be suspended pending FAA investigation.

The only problem is that once the FAA revokes your license, you no longer have a license to be able to convert it to a foreign licensing authority.

When you're revoked, the ability to exercise priviliges of that license are revoked/suspended as well and I'm sure the German (or whoever) government will not issue an ICAO license to convert a suspended license.

Do they get paid while the investigation is pending?

Probably depends on how egregious the offense was.
 
Thank God for the unions....

I might have been hard on this crew at one time but ever since I landed on the wrong runway at RFD (atc cleared us to land at the last minute, making it the right runway), I don't judge anyone.

If NWA ALPA could get that drunk Capt his job back (which they did...long story). Then these guys should be okay. They'll probably get a week off without pay and have to do a sim checkride to recertify.

You talking about when the TWA MD-80 landed at Craig-Moffat (KCAG)? Believe it was going to Yampa Valley, and ended up on Craig's 5600 x 100' runway. About 3 years ago.
