Default Re: Another interview what if question...

Its Alaska there's a few loose cannons up here. Aborting at Dutch probably made a lot of sense considering once you leave do you really want to go back and do you even want to try and go someplace else on one engine. http://airnav.com/airport/PADU

I'd say 50% of Captains I've been flying with brief a V2 abort when departing out of Anchorage. Its not standard but it sure makes more sense safety wise than flying an airplane around on 3 engines and risk losing another. Hopefully my thinking won't get too tainted by flying up here.
