It was a freak accident man... but you can't live your life in fear of death.

The real point of your anecdote, either way, is that you Coasties like to go around looking for a dude at the beach to lock lips with.

One of these days, we'll get you straightened out. Sheesh!

You son of a......how do you know what we Coasties do?


Hey I was on approach the other day into Hartford and some guy in an Eagle jet was taxiing off the the runway slower than my Grandmom walks. We almost had to go around. Stop distracting the Captain dude...ever hear of "Sterile Cockpit" ?

Sorry to interrupt your post's ripping on each other... But, I wanted to add my condolences to Jen's family. She was good #####, fun to fly with and great pilot, too. I will miss her, wish there were more like her. Truly sad!!! RIP




On a side note, I heard that SkyWest made her FO and FA work the trip back to Denver with her body in the back. If, that is true... pretty low class on SkyWest's part. But, if they volunteered that is respectable and honorable. I hope it was the later.

Agreed L_C...

No doubt those who have been near serious injury/death a lot have defense mechanisms (humor) to deal with it in place for good reason - but this is a fellow aviator gone west. Keep the locker room talk out of here heh?

RIP.

She was flown back to Denver and then on to her family in Sioux Falls on the 20th, two days after the accident. When she arrived in Denver the aircraft was met by fire trucks and sprayed down. There were many of her friends and co-workers there to greet the aircraft. Afterwards, SkyWest chartered a bus from DEN to her memorial for anybody that wanted to attend. The company acted with sensitivity and respect.

Wasn't me. I haven't been in Hartford in forever.

Wassa matter, 10 miles not enough spacing for you?
