Kip Powick Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The dramatics associated with the latest death of the Continental Captain who died while at the controls of a B-777 enroute from Brussels to Newark reminds me of a story, years ago, when a Braniff B747 Captain died en route from Honolulu to Dallas.The First Officer made a routine landing at DFW, did the paperwork and drove home.In one corner of Braniff Operations, a large group of Captains was huddled, all marveling at how a First Officer was able to land the huge aircraft without the Captain's supervision.In an opposite corner, a large group of First Officers was huddled, all marveling at how the First Officer noticed that the Captain was dead.
