I flew to laguardia last fall and that is a short runway with water all around. It was bound to happen. When you land there it throws you forward hard when he slams it down and tries to hold it in the slot.

and another reason to hate US AIR.
How big of a flock was it?!?!? A running jet engine will chew a bird up and spit it out.
Damn.
I don't need my name in the marquee lights....
Careful there, SM, you might be making some poor assumptions. There are a lot of factors involved with an engine's ability to keep running after a bird strike. Large, slow-moving ingestions are pure hell on a jet engine. If you pony up a bottle of Glenmorangie, I'll explain in detail
Amen! Less-than-stellar airline or not, that was a case of really good piloting skills. Of course, from what I hear, this particular pilot has a better piloting skill set than most...
Good to hear!!
GB would definitely be the one to ask about this...

Listen, you may have noticed that I do not engage in mocking your suboptimal life management skills and less than stellar aptitude as the others on here do.
The facts are that US AIR has one of the worst records in the industry... flight delays, cancelled flights, lost luggage, customer satisfaction... you name it. Chapter 11, did not make things any better. If it is what you can afford, enjoy.
