United Pilot: “Pretty Much Everyone on the Plane Threw up” During Landing
Ryan Boyd March 05, 2018
Due to turbulence and rough flying conditions caused by the current nor’easter affecting the Washington D.C. area, passengers flying aboard a United Airlines flight allegedly vomited en masse during the flight’s descent, according to one of the flight’s captains.
Pilot report from the Washington DC area this morning:
"IAD UUA /OV KIAD/TM 1238/FL040/TP CRJ2/TB MOD-SEV/RM VERY BUMPY ON DESCENT. PRETTY MUCH EVERY ONE ON THE PLANE THREW UP. PILOTS WERE ON THE VERGE OF THROWING UP. AWC-WEB"— NWS AWC (@NWSAWC) March 2, 2018

Not a United flight. The Pirep identifies the equipment as a CRJ, so Air Wisconsin or another commuter carrier. And the size of the airplane makes a *big* difference in how turbulence feels and is rated.
Flyertalk: United does not fly CRJ2 aircraft (not difficult to learn how to decode the PIREP).This was from a feeder carrier.
