Thanks for posting. Great detail in the blog - really well documented - great read.
I've been more or less exclusive AE routes for the last few months and will be for the better part of the next year. Those old ERJs & CRJs always worry me - this event definitely did not help my confidence.
Really glad to hear how well the crew handled things. Very interesting that you found yourself in the exit row for this as well - well done with you and your wife responding to the pressure & task at hand.
