Finished reading the reports already? Did you see the way the wheel trim switches over-rode the MCAS system instantly?

By buying a plane ticket you have made a choice to avoid 10000 or more chances that some vehicle operator near you will cause an accident fatal to you.

Airbus could have built the software to prevent a high-energy descent to impact the ground. They saved a lot of money and rushed the plane out.

Good news - it doubles the number of trips as they only lift from one side at a time. It unemployees the guys who used to sling it into the truck. It adds a new gawdawful sound to fill in even a moment of silence and that is adding to the misery of removing the nearly 70,000 parking spaces in a city where parking…

Like clockwork, another small plane has crashed, killing people on the ground for no apparent reason but, from 13,000 laser strikes, not one related crash or instance of permanent harm.

Almost every job is selling your body. Whether it is from physical labor or use of the brain - all body parts. 

The nice thing is the visual effects of the green lasers, the main culprit, are diminished or eliminated with rose colored glasses, but the pilots refuse to protect themselves.

It’s not exactly a Washington airport - Dulles is in Northern Virginia. It was the site of Transpo 72, a place I got to see the Blue Flame salt flat car display and a Vulcan heavy bomber fly overhead. Lots of promise for the future. Unfortunately several deaths from the airshow ended future events.

There was no additional training for MCAS because MCAS is an extension of the Speed Trim System and there is no training for that either. Both operate the aircraft trim to meet handling requirements, one to reduce forces and the other to discourage the pilot from stalling the plane, the way AF447 was stalled and…

They used MCAS because, ultimately, they found during high-G, low speed, wind-up turns that they needed a little more force on the control wheel to meet the FAA linearity requirement. This is the sort of maneuver reserved for spiral dives into contested airfields when surface to air missiles are used.

I’d say you must be an Ethiopian shill. They have since put in a big buy for MAX 8s even though they claimed in their report that Boeing engineering was so terrible they would not trust any of it.

Can we just grab them by the posse? 

On top, many of those countries see regular assassinations of federal judges. Here if a federal judge has his parking spot blocked, people are called. Not saying they shouldn’t call, just noting the gap is huge.

Those are suggestions. Not evidence. If you wish to bail on your belongings you are free to do so; realistically you will never be in an airplane crash, so it’s odd you care so much.

His claims about what was seen on the factory floor had nothing to do with a piece of software and pilot training that he could not have seen on the factory floor.

You make a claim. You need to supply proof. Plenty of people have exited aircraft, luggage in hand, with no fatalities, so clearly getting luggage doesn’t cause fatalities.

“Please provide an example of this actually happening.”

Both crews failed to follow clear directions; in both they did the opposite of what the procedures called for. 

I wasn’t with the first crew either. The one that flew 90 minutes to a safe landing. Or the second crew, where the Captain was annoyed, but not panicked and handed off to his F/O who hadn’t had as many years of flying.

“could have” does a lot of heavy work there. Tell me you have video proof of the inside of an evacuation where any limiting was done by people taking belongings. You have proof, right?
