Re: Comair Flight 5191
I'm going to chime in. I drive airbus 320s every night at o'hare down here and let me tell you, you can get lost very fast. The pilots are always getting lost. Pilot error is the largest human factor played in this who issue and its 100% their fault, but the person who should have caught it in time is the controller. The FAA admitted that there were suppose to be 2 controllers in the tower and keep in mind that the air traffic controllers work for the FAA. Him having his back turned, and looking at the airport diagram (it being a small airport) he should not have even had a reason to turn his back unless he started paperwork.
And sorry, an RJ cruising down the runway cannot stop in 500 feet. They made the right decision of trying to take off because most likely when they realized it, they were going to fast and it was too late. Only the cockpit voice recorder say.
