flying: with Delta

On my landing into KABQ, Delta MD-90 was being recovered on runway 3. Everything was routine until the moment they tried to take exit Charlie, which airliners normally take since it's configured as a high-speed exit and leads straight to the air carrier terminal. A burst of braking followed by weaving as they realized that they're not making it. I think we took Delta (it was dark, so I'm not sure, could've rolled all the way down). I was mentally preparing to ask casually "oh hey guys, did you try to make Charlie", but by the time we deplaned, the crew was already gone. Usually Captain or F/O stands at the door to wave us good-bye. Oh well, it's to the best, I guess.
