Looks like he got airborne and decided to abort. yikes!
 
Yikes is right, more reports that the plane actually was airborne then slammed back down, glad all is well with pax, but this story will get interesting real quick.... hope this was a V1 abort only..
 
I wasn't there, but.....what happened to going around the pattern if something craps after V1?

I'd be willing to bet that US Airways probably provides some sort of training to their pilots on go/no go decisions, and might even use a type of "airplane simulacrum" to play out these very situations.

I'd reserve judgment on the crew for just a bit yet. There have been rare situations whereby a crew has justifiably aborted beyond V1 and bent the airplane, but saved lives.
 
I knew some Westie would make a dumb comment

Oh well - I should have known


It's not an embarrassment that a single Westie stoops to this level. It's a shame that not a single Westie has the freedom or courage to speak the truth about being a real professional.
