I saw it and it looked like a better landing than most of the ones I've experienced that had no problems. :jawdrop:

Got this from another board from a frog-bus pilot...
It wasn't me, and anybody could have done the same thing. The press as usual was making a big to do about nothing. The aircraft is designed to have the nose wheel steering mechanism center the gear at liftoff. If it does not center, the system will turn the wheel 90 degrees on purpose. All this is to keep the nose gear from being cocked at say 45 degrees which would be a much bigger problem. Airbus knew what they were doing. Although this should probably be a one in a million event, it has happened twice before with the same result. Still a great job, but a very anticipated outcome. I'm glad it wasn't me though, because the Captain is going to be writing letters and answering questions for a very long time. As to ending the career, I'm looking forward to the usual boredom of airline flying. RV's are much more fun and usually more exciting.
Oh yeah, the RV he is talking about is an airplane, not a Winnebego. :D

No... ValueJet is now AirTran....
JetBlue was started from scratch to offer low cost coast to coast and Eastern Seabord routes with a few perks that other carriers didn't offer (like TV's at every seat and larger leather chairs).

Figures. Some joker I work with said it was ValueJet.
The way things are going their probably all going to be bought out or merged together anyways. :notam:
