“This was a very watchable film with lots of authentic cockpit time. Iu0026#39;ve spent lots of hours in jet cockpits and this was more realistic than most. Some criticisms : 1) The Captain (William Devane) and his first officer seemed a little weak on aircraft systems. Sure, this was a new Boeing 767, but most crewmembers I knew had a deep knowledge of every system on the plane, including fuel. There is no flight engineer… the pilots have to know it! 2)This LARGE abandoned airfield just outside Winnipeg was not on ANY chart and NO ONE knew where it was?? I found this hard to believe. 3)The ending didnu0026#39;t cover anything about culpability in this incident. What happened to the numbskulls who mis-fueled the plane in the first scenes? Were they fired or sued? None of them had a clue! And isnu0026#39;t it the Captainu0026#39;s responsibility for taking off with sufficient fuel? I felt they glossed over all the u0026quot;legalu0026quot; stuff. Devane was convincing… lots of great one-liners. Great flick.”
