The pilot who landed the southwest plane with the blown engine yesterday

Got over 7,000 hours on C130H's, when we had flight engineers and steam gauges. With that, sure...you can screw up because dur dur, forgot to look at the oil temp. But no, think all commercial planes are computerized and pilots just fly the plane for the most part. Everything is monitored by the computer and brought to their attention when needed. Kinda weird it blew apart like that though, maybe de-icing was left on, sure they will figure that out if it was.
But ya, been in a lot of different emergency landings. One of them we had to fly over 900 miles with one engine shut down and another engine that was setting off our chip light...so it was making metal internally. Whatever, we can fly on two fine. Although that affects our range and we were way out in the middle of no where. No awards, no recognition, nothing. But nobody died or was injured and never had one where we took damage to the fuselage. Good on her for getting the plane down, but honestly I think every single pilot should be able to do exactly like that.

This list is littered with pilots who make costly mistakes that brought the aircraft down.

Contained engine failures are not horrendously uncommon. I’ve had a couple. Run a couple checklists and pick where to land.
Uncontained significantly less common, but the process is the same as above.
The real risk comes from shrapnel piercing critical items, like hydraulic lines and/or flight controls. Wiki AA 191 crash at ORD for a case in point example.
SWA had some slat damage, but nothing worse.
The 737 certainly has been ‘modernized’ over the years but is by no means a ‘modern’ aircraft. The type is still based on the original 1960’s aircraft with slight updates over the decades.

The plane automatically adjusts to it by setting the power as well as the rudder to prevent an uncontrollable roll.ok I'm not trying to hate but a lot of what you said is not true.
firstly engines don't reduce power when the other fails, they increase it. assume you're operating near your max ceiling. you want to remain high as long as possible (assume no decompression, not like was the case here). if you reduce thrust your speed will decay even faster with only 1 engine.. so you'll need to increase it on the remaining one to buy to time. if you mean for the sake of structural integrity, planes can handle TOGA in a one engine out scenario with full rudder deflection so wouldn't be for that either. perhaps this is c130 specific but it doesn't make sense to me.
Also it isn't done automatically you have to change the thrust gate yourself.
secondly in my previous post yes she wasn't necessarily a hero but in that situation there are a fukton more things to be done than 'make an atc call and land'
you aren't a pilot and you haven't flown the 737 so I'll cut you some slack, but you've been around planes so you should know better than to minimise pilots responsibilities in such a situation to merely putting the autopilot on and making an atc call
perhaps if you were the one responsible for doing the flying instead of sitting behind the guys up front you would have a different attitude

There was decompression considering the window blew out so they needed to get to 10,000 feet to breathe properly.
Perhaps if you were actually involved with flying and not a moron you'd have a basic understanding of all of this. Pilots are responsible for take off, landing and monitoring everything in between so if something like this does happen, they can land the plane. The plane literally handles everything else so yes, essentially all they did was make an ATC call and landed the plane.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.

You understand that military pilots see **** way more extreme than what happened to this plane probably all the time, hence why it was really no big deal for her to keep her composure, as that is kind of a prerequisite skill for flying in the military in the first place?
This woman was capable and did her job. Thats it. But because she has a vagina, its going to be spun into some mystical feat which is actually a slap in the face of what feminism "should" be as it seemingly assumes that a woman shouldn't be able to do what she did, and hence because she did it its somehow what, more impressive?

She's a hero. She did an amazing job for any human. That she's a woman and did an exemplary job in extraordinary circumstances only adds to the cause of female empowerment.
Let the men give her the props due her.

autopilot will stabilise the aircraft in pitch and roll, obviously. and autothrust will control the thrust. but you have to manually move the thrust lever into that gate because it limits it at the position it is currently in. the fadec cannot demand more than what the thrust lever is currently limiting it to. of course you already know that don't you.
in this situation the procedure would have been to set thrust to mct instead of climb gate. hence manual moving the thrust lever
and as for decompression I quite clearly said NOT LIKE IN THIS SCENARIO when I was referring to an engine fail without decompression, you illiterate fuk

It's not like she entered a burning plane by choice to save people and landed it (or tried to). She was at her job, her plane malfunctioned, she had no choice but to continue doing her job. She did it well and did not let others down, so good on her and I hope she is my next pilot but hero?
The dudes in Chernobyl who, instead of running, dove into the radioactive cooling water to open some drain, preventing a massive disaster and receiving lethal doses of radiation were heroes (and almost nobody knows their names) but a guy responsible for calming a reactor as part of his job, who for example finds himself in a room with the reactor freaking out, AND cannot get out because a door is jammed, is not a hero if he does what he is supposed to do to save himself and others.
But again, she sounds like a kickarse pilot.

#1 throws a blade, eats the inlet, and kills your cabin press. Descend and land single engine. Gender aside, there’s absolutely nothing ‘heroic’ about that. It’s just doing the job as all of us in the industry would.
Start introducing items like lost flight control systems, severed hydraulic lines, etc then you start teetering into hero territory.
For the definition of that in the aviation industry, look up Al Haynes and the entire flight crew of UA232. That engine failure resulted in quite literally a mostly uncontrollable aircraft.
The SWA aircraft in question flew just fine.

Men and women are capable of achieving the same things. At the end of the day, we're all human.

Pilot always gets the praise. If the co-pilot wants praise, he should have been the not co-pilot.

Southwest Airlines Flight 3472 was a regularly scheduled passenger flight operating from New Orleans International Airport, LA to Orlando International Airport, FL. On 27 August 2016, the Boeing 737-7H4 (WL), with 99 passengers and 5 crew, 12 minutes after departure from New Orleans, was climbing through 31,000 feet and heading east over the Gulf of Mexico when the aircraft's number one CFM International CFM56-7 engine suffered an uncontained engine failure. Debris from the engine punctured the left side of the fuselage causing a loss of cabin pressure and damaged the wing and empennage. Oxygen masks were deployed to passengers while the crew initiated an emergency descent to 10,000 feet. The aircraft then diverted to Pensacola International Airport for a safe landing on runway about 20 minutes later without further incident. While the aircraft sustained substantial damage, there were no injuries.
