The airport is 1.7 nautical miles west of Keflavík and 50 km southwest of Reykjavík. The airport has three runways, two of which are in use
On a different note, since United helped to significantly destroy my retirement package
when they invalidated their common stock during bankruptcy I've felt that no one deserved their troubles more than United. Maybe there is Karma!
Right 30, there was a day in the 60's when United Airlines etc. trained their own Pilots and all you needed was a Commercial/Instrument. They can do that again and keep their low pay for First Officers. I imagine CRM will be severely impacted as that puts the Captain in a position again where he will never be questioned due to human nature and the situation of a "Trainee" instead of a truly qualified Pilot in the right seat. What trainee questions his Instructor? Pretty rare event.
One needs to understand that when you select flaps the slats are armed and the CB's were pulled to STOP slat activation. The rumored goal was to get just a degree or two of flaps.
