Northwest's Black-Hole Flight Crew Piloting the US Chamber’s Ship of Fools
Joe Crumley in Minnesota did a good job of covering the Northwest Airlines Flight 188 through the black hole of cyberspace; but I can’t let this one go. I read the pilot’s explanation and can’t believe America remains seated with their seat belts fastened. Is it enough to say, heck they only overshot the airport by 150 miles, golly- gee maybe the next time they will find out where to land. Wisconsin is nice this time of year. Maybe the crew wanted to see the Wisconsin foliage. What’s wrong with that? Zzzzzz….
They were out of contact for over an hour. Over one hour; sixty-plus minutes and no one thought to turn on the radio? Who turned it off? HELLO DOLLY! Does anyone believe they were surfing the web reading regulations? Using a laptop doesn't make one deaf, dumb and blind.
So what were they doing? Zzzzzz…
OMG! Can you believe the explanation the pilot gave for what was going on in the cockpit? If it weren’t so serious it would be comical. Zzzz… On a laptop reading regulations – did I hear them right? Zzzz… Excuse me passengers on this Northwest Flight ship of fools, is there anyone aboard who believes this fairytale story? If so you need to have your medication adjusted. This is perhaps the dumbest, the lamest, and the stupidest explanation I’ve heard since listening to a patient being blamed for a wrong-site surgery. Zzzz…
And once again I’ve got to ask where are the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Tort Reform Association with making any kind of statement about corporate responsibility? Hello there ATRA and US Chamber of Communism? Are you guys awake in the corporate propaganda cockpit? Anyone in there awake tonight? Zzzz… Probably out saving the world as they see it.
Tower: Flight 188 from San Diego to St. Paul, the runway is clear.
Pilot: Okay tower, we are just finishing up with our preflight run-up check list.
Pilot to Co-Pilot: Flaps?
Co-Pilot: Check.
Pilot: Sleeping bags stowed?
Co-Pilot: Let's see I've got the Dora floral and your brought the GI Joe. Check!
Pilot to Tower: Tower, we are ready for naptime.
Tower: Zzzz…. Sorry did you say something Flight 188?
IT'S TIME TO PUT ON YOUR STUPID CAPS aMErICa!
One guy said they can lose frequency. What’s that mean; it sounds seriously important? In America? On the earth? Are you kidding me? I’ve been interviewed by a local television station while I was standing in Mt. Everest Base Camp and they were in Des Moines, Iowa. Ever hear of a satellite-phone. How come the laptops worked but the headsets didn’t? And you want us to believe pilots over the State of Minnesota lost contact with a radio tower in Minneapolis-St. Paul? I know they talk funny up there, but they all seem to know how to use a phone. The plane flew right over the city; and someone says they lost contact? How could that happen in Middle America? Zzzz…
And what about the guy babbling on about a situational awareness issue being a viable explanation for why they … they what? Oh that sounds important, situational awareness. What’s that? Does that mean they were sleeping or getting a back rub from the flight attendants and couldn’t be aroused to figure out they were 150 miles off course and out of pocket for an hour? My mom, Dolly had a way of fixing someone’s situational awareness. It was an 18 inch oak wooden ruler that she’d rap you a couple of times with to reawaken your situational awareness. Maybe that’s what we need; tort reform that puts mothers in the cockpits of every plane.
Zzzz…I can hear her now, “Hey you’re not sleeping are you?” Zzzz…Whack!
Maybe I’ll ask Joe Crumley for some good-old Midwestern advice. Hey Joe, ask Mike to call the Tower at the Twin Cities airport and phone the ATRA to see if he can wake them up. Perhaps Brooks down in Texas can reach the U.S. Chamber of Communism and see where they are at with all that talk of America being more responsible. In the world the Chamber and the ATRA would have us living in, is it only the people who are injured that need to take responsibility? Sorry but I’m not hearing you Chamber guys. Are you busy on your laptops? Zzzz… Whack! Whack! Whack!
As for not immediately firing them my mother (Dolly to her friends.) would say, “Are you stupid?” She was always good with situational awareness. Gosh you gotta love my Mom!
