I have flown to and from the Birmingham airport numerous times, not having been aware (as apparently others also were not) of this possible hazard, now recognized by a major air carrier:
"BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The nation's largest regional passenger airline told pilots to avoid landing on the runway where a UPS cargo jet crashed in Birmingham because an internal review following the accident concluded planes come "dangerously close" to nearby hills if even a few feet too low."
The next time I fly into Birmingham, should I go up front from my cheap seat, bang on the cockpit door, and loudly insist that the pilot use only the long runway?
