Maybe DEN's maintenance aren't locking things down.

A United 777 had a pretty spectacular engine failure in 2021. Different airline though, this latest event was Southwest. Regardless, if it was a latch then it should have been caught by the flight crew too.

Some of the walkarounds I see crews doing at YYC are terrible. Some are actually checking things and a staggering number are just going for a stroll around the airplane and not actually looking at anything. It wouldn't surprise me at all for a latch to not be noticed by crew on a walkaround.

That seems like a movie to see a commercial airliner rolling through 3/4ft of water

Whenever I see stuff like this I wonder how those gawdy palm islands are handling things

Of WestJet's entire fleet, I'd probably feel safest on their 787 if anything.

Late flare? I saw a clip of the subsequent landing and they floated the landing, too.

Carrier landing procedure, they just forgot to drop the tail hook to catch a wire...

Had a good chuckle at 1:02 when the last fire suppression truck shows up, just a little too eager. Blows his load before he arrives, then kinda flails around with the nozzle spraying all over the place.

Transiting through SFO is a bit of a nightmare. They are paving one of the runways and as a result are only using one for landing. Plan on some delays if you are using that airport. Probably better off going through DEN or SLC depending on your destination.

And on the topic of Encore, the pilot group just voted down the proposed contract (narrowly) so it's back to negotiations.

It is a absolutely at the expense of frequency. Some routes that were 3x daily are now only 1x daily

Not even sure I'd call that good news personally, as much as I love the Q, those little Saab's are awesome
