Third World Airline Pilots: They can memorize the entire flight manual verbatim, but you cannot teach all of them how to fly. Passengers: you get what you pay for.
SO WHAT?!?! The plane was likely heavy and did not want to take off towards mountains. The wind must have not been a factor as the PIC made his decision which way to depart. Who writes drivel such as "absolutely nuts"??? Worse, what editor allows drivel to be published?
The 1011 was a good airplane for the passenger...once you got it away from the gate. But its design philosophy doomed it from day one. The large passenger cabin was at the expense of lowering the cabin floor 2 feet. In turn, that made a requirement for special cargo containers in the belly. In the jumbo jets, cargo containers were interchangeable among the B747, DC10 and A-300; but not interchangeable with the 1011. It was the design mistake that doomed the 1011 to obscurity. Couple that with the myriad of mechanical problems that caused untold delays at the gate because this or that system did not work at the moment. Nice idea, but in the long run, not an economical airliner for the airlines. Delta ran the 1011 long after its usefulness because it was the only game in town at the time for Delta
I loved my job at Eastern Airlines; 7 different airliners, prop, turbo prop, & jets. But I had to walk away early when 100% of my airline salary was going to the IRS for taxes. I had invested in commercial real estate and it paid so much that my airline Captain's salary was solely to pay taxes.
Looking at today's airline pilot, I wouldn't waste my time in the airliners that are designed to remove the Captain out of the decision making process in how the flight is conducted. Am I wrong? Ask the unwilling passenger Sullenberger who landed in the Hudson River.
