| 1 Jun 1616 | A mistake in a story required a rewrite, not just a minor correction: Hey Left Hand, Guess What Right Hand is Doing? Last week brought the report of a British Airways co-pilot who caused an “incident” by mixing up his left and right hands (“Speedbird, Spread Your Wings”). This week came the report of a SkyWest pilot who — as ordered — took off from San Francisco International from the left runway immediately after a United plane took off from the right. After SkyWest’s successful takeoff, the United plane was ordered to turn right; the pilot accidentally turned left, into SkyWest’s path. “Yes, the potential for a catastrophic event was there,” commented former NTSB crash investigator Greg Feith, “but there were systems in place, communications took place, and corrective actions were initiated” to prevent a collision. The FAA is investigating. (RC/KGO San Francisco) …Beats the NTSB investigating. |
