And I love the reporter pointing out that it isn't "an exact 737 sim".Wowowowowowowow, a CRJ sim!
You think that stall was intentional?
Either that or her high altitude stalls need some work.Looks like she was just screwing around trying to make it dramatic for the camera to me.
Must work for Pinnacle.Either that or her high altitude stalls need some work.
Must work for Pinnacle.
Jeebus, that was an ugly recovery. And for some reason I can't find anyone by the name "Michele Halleran" in the airman database.

You missed one of the best parts!That was... painful. I'm normally the last person to critique a TV reenactment but...
First off... put your damn headset back on after you put the mask on. Ain't nobody got time for that overhead speaker.
Second... How did an engine failure lead to a stall? I'd hope anybody operating a jet (SWEPT WINGGZZZ!!!) would be keeping enough speed margin to have some level of reaction time before the plane stalls due to holding altitude with reduced thrust.
Thirst... that was a sloppy stall recovery, especially from an "instructor" pilot.
Fourth... I stopped watching after that.
