If you listen to the liveatc recording, you'll see that once they switch to tower freq, the FO is doing the radios and the Captain is most likely flying. Seems like pretty standard ops to me.

I admittedly stopped listening to the recording once she said part of the airplane was missing and a passenger had been sucked out (paraphrase, don't remember the exact wording used).

Just hearing that gave me chills...

I've seen several airline policies recently recommending that the CA manage and the FO fly up until final, and then the CA takes over if there are going to be any unusual landing characteristics. The policies allow for PIC discretion as needed, ie they can deviate if warranted.

A LiveATC user has now combined all three feeds and took out some of the other ATC chatter.

Well done to the crew. Look forward to seeing what the NTSB comes up with on the engine.

Very tragic accident as it appears this was the first passenger fatality for WN. Great job by the crew and a true example of CRM and the training that has made aviation in the US as safe as it is.

I’d like to second that.

She is not only female but was the first female fighter pilot in the Navy according to sources.

Unbelievable!!!

Great job by the crew s a whole!! Him or her....her and him.....all of them. Independent of who was PIC or SIC.

Very sad to hear the pax has passed. I can’t fathom having a pax die under my watch.
