@Dexterluckful Wow, someone's a little hateful towards Southwest.
It was an unaccounted error on the pilot's part, not necessarily any fault on the airline.
Actually, not one SINGLE person has died while flying in a Southwest plane, so your complaint is inaccurate. Plus, as a frequent flyer, I've found Southwest to be one of my favorite airlines.
Maybe next time you're flying American Airlines or Frontier, your plane will catch on fire, as this one did, and several others have.
@AlyxChosen Only a person on the ground has died in result of Southwest's accidents. Southwest's safety record can't be beaten as none of their flights have had fatalities.
@dellave11 yup, that mostly can be the cause.... they try to land smoothly and float the whole runway,,, then when they notice they are running of.. they step on them..
i was a passenger, i could smell the stink of death in the cabin as others waited their turn on the slide to safety. women were farting like somthing i have never seen befor.
I think the tire fire could of ignited the the wing which has fuel in it. These 737 hold 7000 gal. of fuel so any fire on an aircraft is dangerous.I was a firefighter on that incident.
although im no firefighter i do know that for faa regs they have to purposefully heat up the breaks and tires of the aircraft and let them burn as fire fighters watch to see if the aircraft can handle it so i would of thought that it wouldn't be able to catch the wing on fire but then again those 737s almost skim the floor there tires are so close to the wings so maybe...
@CF40 well idun agree with you...the body is made in such a way that it resist fire....mostly they are made up of Fiber plastic....very much hard light and resistant to fire.....and in few minutes Fire Fighters were there...they had to be...so if a fire is on tire made of Rubber and carbon its not a Big Issue...hope you had clear yourself now...????
@GEORGEBUSHISAKUNT yeah it can be if...its on dangerous when its on any sensitive part like Engine etc....but on tire it cant do any thing....because when ever plane lands Fire Engines starts moving with the plan so it takes lesser time to respond....!!!!
@beergut111 They're also the only airline that has never layed off any employees, ever. They are also the most profitable. If you want to be safe don't fly an airline that has been losing a lot of money:)
@beergut111 There are things I don't like about them either. I try not to fly them unless I fly alone. But just because you don't like them doesn't make them unsafe. And they must be doing something right. Their business model works. Something no other domestic carrier can say. BTW they all are shitty when it comes to customer service. They all suck!
@beergut111 Statistics would beg to differ. And they have more business ethics. Their advertising is ethical their business ethics are better (than other airlines) They don't charge for bags. (reason I fly them when traveling on ski trips). Overall I'd give them a C- (compared to other businesses. An A- compared to other airlines. For the way they treat their employees I'd give them a C+ compared to other businesses. An A compared to other airlines.
@beergut111 All airlines have a pilots and flight attendants union. So, I guess that means NO airline treats their employees well. I have quite a few friends that are pilots and flight attendants. The would beg to differ with your opinion.
@sonex424 that is correct.....no airline treats its employees well....otherwise there would be no need for a union. The great work rules a union provides should just be the regulations. its sad that a pilot needs a union at all, but crappy airline management really offers no other choice. it really does suck.
@beergut111 That is not necessarily true. There were many companies that before WWII were not unionized. They had to to get government contracts. This is still true. Most flight crews (only people I have contact with) say they'd rather work for SW than any other airline. FOs get 15days/month off. Most however work the FAA maximum of 1000hrs/yr. I would take 49k/yr with 15 days/month off any day of the week. That is starting pay for FOs. I think you missed my point.
@sonex424 no they arent. the regulations are pretty liberal. The regulations would allow management to fl a pilot 6 days then have 24 hours off then fly 6 days, etc. etc etc......the union instills rules that are tighter than the regulations allow.
@beergut111 FAR 121.471 :a) No certificate holder conducting domestic operations may schedule any flight crewmember and no flight crewmember may accept an assignment for flight time in scheduled air transportation or in other commercial flying if that crewmember's total flight time in all commercial flying will exceed—
@sonex424 you didnt read and understand the rest of that regulation. crews are routinely scheduled for 9 or 10 hours of flight time....your homework is to explain how thats possible.
@beergut111 Let me tell you a little story. My first flying job was for Island airlines in Sandusky. We flew for 6hrs every day. $8/hr. (1982) I was very happy to get it. If you remember the hiring bust of the early 80s. I was very happy to get it and loved every minute of it. Next i flew for a regional. Started at 850/mo. A step down, but again, very happy to be flying. after a few yrs of that I got hired by a major. 19k/yr. Not great, but back then decent money.
@sonex424 My 1st exp with a union. Eventually worked up to capt retiring last yr. I never felt the union did anything for me. In my later yrs I gave up salary. I even gave up my pension just so I could keep doing what I loved to do. You see I knew that there was no other job that payed even close to what I was making that I loved. If I was able now I'd happily do it all over again. It was never stressful. There are nurses that work more hrs for less pay.
@sonex424 There are truck drivers that work more hrs for less pay. There are many more people that work many more hrs for far less pay than I did. I was always amazed that I got payed what I did an had a ball doing it. People, sometimes need to suck it up and quit bitching and be thankful to do something thay love. Airline pilots as a whole work half what the rest of the work force does and gets paid 4-5 times as much.
@beergut111 they have more than 2 pilots on flights that long. A 3rd (or 4th) pilot flies the cruise hours while the captain does the departure and approach.
@beergut111 BTW SOuthwest has the highest starting salary for a pilot at over $49,000/yr And the highest top pilot salary at over $181,000/yr. I'd say thats not bad. I'd take it. You?
See, if that would have happened here in Georgia at Hartsfield. The pilot would have just got out of the plane and walk over to the tire and pee on it.
@neverfearchrisishere Air traffic control could have told them, they monitor every landing, or a sensor could have gone off warning of something, idk, but good evacuation
pretty scary..thx God everybody safe..also amazing how fast the firefighters responde to this fire..vs the fire in china from a 737 where the plane was on fire for more then 5 mimuntes untill the firefighter arrive...we still number one in respond...
typical southwest they come in hard and arnt very nice to the ground personel working at airports they are always in a rush like this one time i was waiting for a plane to to taxi in to a gate they gave me the ok to pass their path then they flip their lights on and started to come right at me and i was driving a fuel tanker
Boy it is a good thing those people all read the instruction card in the seat that told them that the first down the ramp should remain at the bottom and help the others off... Oh wait they didn't...
if that plane blew up by the fire igniting the fuel, i highly doubt exiting the plane and standing 2 meters from it would have saved them. Such a poor evacuation.
What Were they like On the Announcements, They dident know the plane was going to be stuborn and do that But what did they say when they noticed A Fire,? Everyone Evaquate , Through The Secret Door or your going to fall off the side? Lol jump down the Slide and Froget Your children because no kids were on that plane, But what if someone Popped the slide with their High heel, Haha Poor People in the plane
wow exit just because the tire went out and caught on fire when you can put that out with a fire extinguisher or it would go out by its self wow! haha
I've always wanted to slide down from an airplane! then ima be on the news and stuff, and ima upload it on facebook and everybdys gunna be like your so kewl! LOL.
I know :) I wouldn't want to have that happen on a flight that I'm on. On the other hand, maybe they could park a plane on the tarmac, inflate the slides and let us have some fun on it for a while :) :)
