Re: Cebu A320 Landing Incident, Passengers (Not) Evacuated
I am not saying it is ok, just that it is not surprising.BigJets wrote: Yes earthman, I totally agree with you but does this make it ok?
Then again, just saying 'yeah no surprise there' is not a very constructive criticism.

Re: Boeing 787 news
If the hole is taped over and the pressures inside and outside are equal, the sensor will think everything is ok. Then you start flying, the pressure outside drops, but the pressure inside stays the same. Only then do you get a warning from the sensor. Perhaps the installation procedure should inclu...

Re: Cebu A320 Landing Incident, Passengers (Not) Evacuated
earthman, you mean that the whole world follows the same procedures but not in the Philippines? Why should they be any different? Would you be surprised if procedures were not followed in Indonesia, Bangladesh, D.R.C, or other such places? Also, regardless of whether the procedures were actually fo...

Re: Cebu A320 Landing Incident, Passengers (Not) Evacuated
The crew on board followed the protocol??? Is it the industry standard NOT to evacuate an aircraft in such a situation? These are real comments made by Cebu Pacific management. UNBELIEVEABLE in this day and age how they even dare to say things like that in public just to downplay the incident and a...

Re: Boeing 787 news
Perhaps Boeing forgot to make the to-be-removed piece of tape bright orange? Also, may I recall aeroperu 603, a 757 that crashed into the ocean at night because someone forgot to remove a piece of tape? (which covered the static ports, so all the instruments were showing whatever they felt like show...

Re: Lufthansa considers long-range jet order
Yes I know LH is adding A380's and 748i's to the fleet. But reading your post made me think that they were to keep some of the older ones and only replace the youngest 13 ones. (Initial replacement by A380/748i, youngest 13 by 777-9x, this leaves room for a possible part of the 744 fleet which is no...

Re: Lufthansa considers long-range jet order
Yes, I know you stated the 13 youngest 747- 400 's. But that was not the point. And that is wat the article says. No, that is not what the article actually says. It is what you (or perhaps anyone familiar with LH's fleet replacement) learned from reading the article. However, that required some addi...

Re: Boeing 787 news
I would say the press can always be blamed whenever they report on something without investigating it. Their role in being the first to report on something is being taken over by social media. Instead of trying to fight it and puking out reports without investigating, they should find their reason f...

Re: Lufthansa considers long-range jet order
I doubt they want to replace the youngest 747s? The article doesn't actually say this.

Re: LHR closed after incident with BA Airbus A319 LHR-OSL
On A320 family aircraft,you have to lay on the floor to close the cowlings. You need to watch closely that the latching hook engages into the holes because this isn't easy to see. Millions of cars have trunks and hoods that are easy to close. Especially hoods have a locking mechanism that at least ...

Re: Ryanair CEO latest interview + EK reportage
If they would not be convinient nor cheap, then they wouldn't succeed. Simple. The numbers are 79.3m pax and 596m EURO profit. That's an impressive record for an overpriced inconvenient carrier. Your arguments don't make sense. They are cheap enough to put up with the inconvenience. And of course t...

Right so, does that mean LCC have no place for existance? And flying should be left to superior people like yourself? I think you just lost track of what the discussion was about. Your claim was that 79 million people used Ryanair because it was convenient. I am just saying that they are not conven...

Re: Ryanair CEO latest interview + EK reportage
The problem with Ryanair (and most LCCs actually) is that they pretend to be cheap alternatives, but they are really only cheap if YOU can can adjust to THEIR schedule, yoga master style. If you look for travel options which fit YOUR schedule and/or needs, you quite often find that you gain very li...
