3/6/2010 AA 856 from RDU to CLT.
Pissy 30 min flight in rainshowers and hostie seating turbulence...no OJ.
Do we fly a right base? Hell no! Go way North,then slow down, Then South and past the airport to the East downwind...then 20 miles South...
Then, around the marker (wheels down), we get too close to someone and 3BS survives his third airliner go around (in a damn A-321 no less).
All that friggen vectoring and slowing and zig says AND extended final and we STILL run over the guy ahead!
It was kind of aggressive from the comfort standpoint- including a SEEMINGLY relentless pull up.
Do we get right back...NO! Another LONG painful downwind and final.
Frantic walk to next flight...made it with less than 10 min to spare!
