Any thoughts from the crew in here in regards to how the airports are doing with snow removal this year? JMO, but den is always bad but even ord seems to be behind this year most of the time. I read on here about incidents at ind, jfk and a few others. Just looking for some thoughts on how aother airports are doing this year.

That's where we earn our already underpaid salaries.

and it is a crying shame that the flying public does not realize that.

Boyd is the biggest joke in the aviation world. He needs to stick to what part of aviation he is good at, which is the economic part. Everything else that comes out of his mouth is a joke.

Hell, there is not one airplane that would still be on the ground at 220mph. Not even close.

On a more serious note, glad to hear everyone is OK.

Give credit where it's due.

I don't want credit, I want cash.

The Concorde had a 250 mph take off speed. I'll bet the SR-71 is up there too.

From what I've heard from CAL training and CAL ALPA, yes, it was a rejected takeoff. Why they rejected and why it left the runway has not been shared yet.

I saw this on the news:
"Plane slams into the ground and burst into flames!"
Got to love the media.
