10. Like aborted landings.

My last trip to NY--LaGuardia--was that way.

We're on final and all of a sudden, whee.....back up we go and around to try again...because somebody
was cleared to take off from the runway where we were going to land. Oops. Glad it was
a clear day because I'll bet the captain made that visual decision to abort. When he announced
what he was doing--after we were back up and turning--he made it sound like just another day at the
office and somebody else had gotten in his way.

It's not the lack of snow tires that is the problem, it's the dummies who don't know how to drive mnhtnbb Sep 2014 #13
