was flown by a good friend of mine. He was in the right seat, but still was one of the two flying it.

They have the worst planes in the air. He’s a hero for just getting the thing up and back down again.

Steez. Spirit has a young fleet of Airbus's. I guess you're saying Airbus is a bad aircraft?

Probably more low hour pilots than some of the other carriers, rather than garbage aircraft.

One of the passengers was probably smoking crack and the pipe got away from him.

As I read the title of this thread, I pictured Rusty Griswold in the remake of Vacation piloting that fine piece of equipment.

These things don’t happen when you take Amtrack to see deer and deer stands.
