Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
I am a member of the public. And while this news article made me feel unsafe,
Until I read the words from a safety expert, I had no idea I was cheating death every time we went missed. I think , as pilots, and pax, we all owe the famed passenger, and the great news reporter a big thank you.
Will I fly again? Maybe? If I can just start feeling safe again.
Thank you Emily...You are a credit to your profession

"Thanks for your email. We published the story because a member of the public came forward and felt unsafe. Regardless of how common an occurrence is, we believed it was worthy of publication due to the man's perspective. I contacted the airport, TSB and WestJet, two of which are in the story. "
Hooray for creative writing classes. Word for word the first paragraph of the response she sent to me.
Hooray for all the wannabe social justice warriors like Mr. Short fighting battles that don't need to be fought because there isn't a battle to fight (on behalf of his fellow passengers).

Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
So what's the over/under betting line on how many responses went out her door with that same first paragraph cut and pasted?
Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
I was thinking about this as I walked airside today, watching where I was going. A truck was backing up, and I was not certain that the driver had seen me, so I stopped, and took a step back, so the truck could pass. I was nearly run over! Except that I wasn't, because I paid attention, and remained clear of the danger area. The fine line between life and death! If I have time later, I'll write the CBC about it!

I wonder where the second plane was?CADORS number 2018C3893 wrote:A WestJet Encore Ltd. de Havilland DHC-8-402 (C-GWFE/WEN3234) from Winnipeg/James Armstrong Richardson International, MB (CYWG) to Saskatoon/John G. Diefenbaker International, SK (CYXE) commenced a missed approach off of Runway 27 due to a flap indication. The aircraft landed on Runway 27 at 0044Z. No impact to operations.
Did the passenger get confused about why they went around or did the pilot think it was better to lie about the reason or was it poor reporting by the tower?
Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
Altiplano.
Maybe ask the safety expert who felt unsafe. Or the reporter that made this a newsworthy incident.

Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
Maybe the flaps indicated were on the other aircraft? No idea, just taking this as seriously as it should be taken - not at all!due to a flap indication

Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
So this morning I find the story to show it to someone, and I see it has been edited slightly to downplay the non-event somewhat.
Interesting is that the story is originally posted September 3 and says "last updated" September 3 as well. Not true. It was updated at least a day or two later. Minor point but they underscore a badly researched piece of yellow journalism.

Well... nice sentiment I suppose, but I'm not sure it helped much...

But I suppose I have things to learn as a pilot....rescinding the landing gear

Retracting = rescinding
Autocorrect is unwise for professional journalists, but let's cut the kid a break.

Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
It's rare to get through all the articles in a daily paper online without seeing typos. It's unreal considering the written word is literally what writers and reporters do.
It's the race to the post that results in these guys writing articles on their smartphones and getting auto'd.
Luckily the print version doesn't usually include the bloopers.
Man. I just read that and realized how old I sound. Gonna go sit on the porch and fist shake kids in their Trans Ams listening to 98 degrees. That's what's outside now right?

Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
The grammar and sentence structure in that follow up is horrible. I don't claim to be a genius when it comes to writing, but it's not my career so I don't need to be good at it.
"Pilots have a minimum distance they have to be able to see the runway at."

This young lady is trying to educate herself and others about things that we see as "normal." Instead of firing insults her way why don't you try contributing to a constructive dialogue.
Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC
Gotta agree.
She did not take ownership of her sensationalist first article,
But she obviously tried to add some balance . I thought she did quite a good job.
Maybe she could reinterview the first safety expert who felt unsafe and see if he agrees with the second article.
