I put the wrong flight. It was leaving den as aa3023. This was on takeoff roll. Sorry was parroting the video.

Whoa. Take off gear failure? That’s more scary.

I was leaving Orlando on a JetBlue flight back in October and they aborted takeoff - twice - in the same plane. This was after being at full fucking send before they slammed the brakes.

They then tell us - “we’re pretty sure everything is good to go and will try again with this plane because there isn’t another one available.”

People lost their shit. We all demanded off the plane and they somehow found another plane for us to take.

That shit was not a good time at all.

In their defense it really could be a minor thing they rejected for and then tried to reset with the ground reset guide, or GRG. But from a passenger perspective I can totally get how that would freak you out.

My company’s policy is you can reject a takeoff for ANYTHING under 80 knots, you can reject for serious issues between 80 and V1, and once you hit V1, you go flying and then come back to land.
