On another note, I just heard, from a sim instructor that Endeavor had a class of 30 scheduled to start class today and only 4 showed!

30? Really? Well that's a lot more than I thought were offered the job. Pretty funny though!

We did not go off the taxiway and we were able to taxi to a de-iced surface because we were going so slow. Maybe something else happened, who knows, maybe ATC was putting pressure on them to get off the runway, maybe something mechanical happened but what is the likely scenario?

Not every situation is the same. You weren't there, I'm guessing you haven't experienced EVERY SINGLE PATCH OF ICE God ever put on the runway/taxiway. Keep judging the skills of others...you might find yourself one day staring KARMA right in the eye...

it's the training departments fault that the guy didn't land at the nearest suitable airport, per QRH??

Not quite... they had hoped to hire 30, only found 5 worth hiring. 4 of those 5 showed up.

Learning from other's mistakes so we don't have to commit those same mistakes is paramount in aviation. I haven't experienced every visual approach on earth, that doesn't mean I'll be part of a crew that pulls the next Asiana.

Oh come on, that airport was hardly suitable at the time.

Taxing a transport category aircraft is not something all Endeavor first officers have therefore are reluctant to get to involved barring an obvious danger like crossing a hold short or heading into a physical object. This is why I don't assign blame to the first officer when and aircraft slides off a taxiway. I am assuming of course that the captain was using a prudent speed.
