Which of these conflicts of interest do you think has killed more people to date?
The airlines themselves. They buy what they can afford or want to buy.
I suppose you are right im that airlines ought not buy fhe max8 to avoid all of this controversy. Everyone should just buy airbus and the cs300 so that way no mcas failure no pilot error.
No matter how dire a situation, professional pilots will fight for recovery to the bitter end. You don't hear boo hoo and throw their hands in the air resigned to their fate...NEVER. A pro will try everything in the book or an idea he might have heard. These people will always fight it to the end. Aviate, Navigate and Communicate.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean much to me when a pilot tells me they have thousands of hours flying a computer program. Flying is a perishable skill!
Absolutely. This was noted in the investigation of Asiana 214. While both pilots were fairly high time pilots, their time spent actually flying the aircraft was much smaller.
Great comment! I'm a former flight attendant and Air Transportation Specialist (basically a ground based loadmaster) for the USAF. I'm no pilot but I know a bit about flying. The glass cockpit is awesome and the instruments are a lot easier to read. CAT III has been around before I was born. There is such a thing as too much automation. These pilots were trying to do their jobs. I was always told just fly the plane, don't let the plane fly you. Unfortunately, these two crews had no choice in the matter.
No complaining about the airline owners being in charge of the crash investigation.
