Hey, Farva!

I swear to god, I’ll pistol whip the next guy who says shenanigans.

The Ethiopian Airline statement says co-pilot Ahmed Nur Mohammod had 200 hours, while the pilot had 8,000 hours. 

And yet, 200 hours is what it is. A vanishingly small amount of time in the saddle.

What token-liberal said. The software allowed MCAS to achieve full deflection, which essentially makes the aircraft unflyable. 

This whole mess boils down to Boeing needing the FAA to consider the 737 MAX the same aircraft type as the preceding 737 NG. That would speed time to market and allow Boeing to sell new airframes without imposing hefty training costs on airlines. And the reason for that was that Airbus was making hay with their…

The first post was incorrect. While the pilot was rather experienced, the co-pilot had just 200 hours of total time. He was basically an intern.

It really is scary. Because a co-pilot with 200 hours is going to be beyond useless in an emergency like this. He will be unable to offer any input, insight or action to the pilot, who in those moments would be monumentally overworked. The fact that ET allowed a co-pilot with that little flight time on a mainline…

Better yet. Go digital. Years ago I bought a Fujitsu ScanSnap document scanner that can churn through piles of documents and render them as PDF files. These are OCR’d so the text data is embedded in the file, which makes them easily searchable.

I have a ‘13 Abarth with leather seats and I find them very comfortable. No complaints here. As the poster noted, used 500 Abarths can be had for way cheap, so they can be a real value. And they are ridiculous fun—on freeways, on backroads, and in parking garages (especially in parking garages).

Steve is the new Kevin.

It wasn’t just the “gun-haver.” He called all the people who helped box in the Infinity “so-called good Samaratins.” Best I can figure, the author is rooting for the Infinity driver.

Agreed. Prices are $179 and $169. No deal here.

What you just described is exactly how replay is supposed to work. The phrase “indisputable visual evidence” should mean that officials need only a brief look at the replay to either uphold or reverse the call on the field. Replay was there to support the officials, not replace them.

They’re all Northwestern alums.

What Yinka said. The incoming co-DC Hafley has never been a coordinator before, and Day needs that defense fixed pronto. After the year OSU just had on defense, they’ll take “good, not great” all day. Mattison is a proven, veteran leader whom Day can trust to do the job. And when he retires in a couple years, Hafley…

The front fascia is plastic, while the rest is metal. So it’s likely the different material causing the discrepancy. Still, not a good look.

They need to do this Highlander style. There can be only one!
