I am just landing from the scariest landing in 20 years I have been flying; it was the AA flight No. 1735 from Miami to Kingston. It was raining and the pilot tried twice to touch ground having, in both ocassions to take off again. Only about ten minutes after he took off the first time, he informed the passengers what was happening. He tried for a second time, one more scare. Finally on the third attempt he almost plunged the plane in the runway. Was it that the pilot did not know that whether conditions did not permit to land? Why did he decide to land if the conditions were not adequate? Why did he not land in Montego Bay in or another airport? It is clear that the pilot made a bad judgement; he seemed to try to land before the clouds hit him, but he obviously miscalculated, then he was trapped.

How come American Airlines seem to send unexperienced pilots to Jamaica? Is security of the passengers not a priority for AA? This could have ended up in disater. I just was left to thank god for being alive. Passengers deserve better and more professional AA pilots.
