Incident edit
<!-These short sentences are here to add structure to help me write out the paragraphs in full later.>
Uncontrolled Airport
Pilot error in task saturation at unfamiliar airport.
Winter operations
Pilots Communication Errors and Unicom communication
After tailstrike the flight continued to climb which is not part of the standard procedure post suspected tailstrike.
No loss of cabin pressure detected which would've indicated a fuselage/structure breach and subsequent damage.
Lack of awareness of the tailstrike till flight attendants alerted pilots of what they heard.
Late decision to make an emergency decent to a safe altitude and diversion to a enroute airport as a precaution and aircraft post incident saftey inspection.
