Right, that was the radio issue I mentioned. Add in a first officer reluctant to speak up to a senior captain about the traffic conflict and lots of people died. 

That’s a huge assumption you’re making there. He misunderstood the instruction from ATC, but it’s surprising that both pilots missed it.

Sadly, the battleships are history. But there’s always these guys..

The blunt bow on that ship looks odd. It’s almost like the front fell off..

I’d never heard of a major airline hiring contract pilots, but a quick search found a reference that they actually do. **The More You Know**

A software engineer who was an on-call pilot for a major airline? I’ve never heard of this and can’t see how these two careers would successfully merge. Never mind the fact that pilot unions wouldn’t accept such an arrangement.
