that’s insane! What airline forces you to be an LCA? That’s an airline I don’t want to work for right there.

not even sure how the FAA would buy off on that…..I really don’t think they would.

I wasn't commenting on the DEI nonsense. I was commenting on the areas that I reported that a posted said "WGAF?". It was about time in type, time in seat, etc.

Planes fly into hail with some regularity unfortunately and it's pretty hard to detect hail with onboard radar. You're telling me you've never ended up flying in/around some storms that you probably shouldn't have in hindsight? You were just lucky there wasn't any hail.

By the time they were facing it and went from terrrain to wx they were in it. After few very loud moments in which they couldn't communicate (too loud) and they lost their radar (hail damage) they punched out the other side. Diverted to Rome to make sure they remained vmc and had no indication of damage except windshield cracked and radar stopped working.

So, was the CA on the max in IAH experienced enough to know that runways can be slippery when wet? That's the question of the day...
