And a heck of a lot less politically problematic than dumping passengers…

I hope they keep in mind that it could have been much worse.

Beautiful job of holding off the gear as long as possible.

The fire was a surprise, although it shouldn’t have been.  MSNBC had a
pilot on, who’d had the same problem on a different airplane, and his
also skidded down the runway, but he didn’t mention flames.

Some mention of the fact that the pilot pretty much kept the airliner
on the centerline… which of course probably doesn’t please LAX’s
runway maintenance guy <grin>, who might have to repaint it.

Awesome job. A soft and smooth as you could hope for. JetBlue has to be more
than pleased with the outcome of this.

Sure. If the aircraft loses an engine immediately following takeoff, it
still needs to meet minimum climb performance standards so it can clear
whatever obstacles it may encounter near the the airport. It is conceivable
that if an airplane (particularly a twin engine aircraft) loses an engine,
it may need to reduce weight to meet climb standards.  Dumping fuel is the
easiest way to quickly reduce weight…
