Apparently I’m missing something in this and the AA runway incursion…when the crew or the aircraft malfunction to the point that it narrowly avoids a mishap, why does that seem like a good time to proceed as if nothing is wrong? Reminds me of the BA 747 that shutdown an engine on climbout from LAX to LHR.
This UA, the AA incursion and the FedEx/SW/ATC incident imply to me that we’re rapidly draining the community “luck” bucket with an unhealthy amount of complacency. Too bad the avoidance of “inconvenience” will not permit a system wide safety standdown, if this trajectory continues we’re about to permanently “inconvenience” at least a planeload.
