And a crash WILL wipe you out.

Touché

I know, at least I warned them lol

If you're dealing with both problems, then do both procedures. How can you identify correctly if you want to shut down a system that protects you at low airspeeds (close to stall angle of attacks) and be able to identify an airspeed unreliable situation? The system is supposed to work in low airspe...

MCAS or not, the way "unreliable airspeed" and "runaway stabilizer" should be treated remains the same. That's a very confusing post... Unreliable airspeed asks for a specific pitch target (pitch change using the yoke) and throttle selection (thrust change) and no actions with the trim system itsel...

So in simple words, the new bigger eco engines changed the specs of the 737 in a way that could cause problems , but boeing worked around this by adding MCAS software, and this would be so easy to deal with that not even extra training should be necessary ? right ? The problem has always been there...

I cannot see how ice and/or rain can cause any vehicle to slip. My car has been standing for 48 hours now, with all kinds of ice, rain, snow and what not blowing by. It didn't slip an inch! Now if you suggest that there was a slip due to pilot error, perhaps excessive speed for the given weather, t...

Funny thing, Fedex bought TNT, not TNT Airways. Anything related to TNT is not related to aviation specifically.

Increased pension age means moving to LH seat 330 is impossible for a LONG time to come, as current 330 captains are staying longer than the original career plan intended. Yes, but a company is supposed to grow, or go out of business. One long haul aircraft extra means multiple pilot jobs. If you c...

Simply looking at salary is very "narrow". Experienced long haul pilots are usually top of salary scale, they are unable to gain any more than they have for the rest of their life. You have to compare left & right seat on a fleet, not compare between different fleets. Moreover, if a right seater dec...

especially the experienced long-haul pilots are bombarded with job offers from other airlines at much higher wages, and not only from far east companies... Experienced long-haul pilots are ready for upgrade to left seat, and usually have a young family. So in general, they are not very keen on movi...

Still if crews are unable to book a hotel themselves (off season - there are plenty) and to get to it, maybe they are not qualified (read too stupid) to work at all at any job. They are adults, they should be able to look after themselves at least a tiny bit and be able to find a bed. You didn't un...

The scene could be staged, but it is a fact Ryanair does not work with hotels. Their crews don't know anything and are just as stranded as their passengers... So the "picture" is 100% correct.

Epidemic? I’d say these slots are becoming... pathetic?!! This year is completely crazy. Slots on almost every single flight, sometimes even in the middle of the night! It has never been that bad... Yep, I can confirm although I have the impression France and Spain are the problem and rumours going...

As it seems to be climbing, they were probably burning off fuel to be able to climb due to ATC restrictions. ATC altitude restrictions in these regions happen quite frequently.

The "specialists" write "a significant hydraulic leak on the blue system". Which means 2 systems are functioning normally. Not familiar with the Airbus, but I presume it's the same as on Boeing where "one single hydraulic system remaining" would lead to a requirement to land. The aircraft is still "...

ASLB is the freight airline formerly known as TNT Airways. Behind the curtains the process might be a lot more complex (read diplomatic). TNT Airways had overflight rights but also cooperated with the ATRAN group for some destinations. How all this is "interconnected" after the Fedex takeover, I hav...

This was tweeted by Terzakis a while ago, the video gives nice background information on the siberian overflight rights (for people thinking it is mere an "administrative" thing).

The ones I know probably avoid to confront the authorities, so they might prefer not to go public. No idea if the major airlines are affected.

It is not the only airline. On a political level, we are close to trade wars. Never forget that.

Air Belgium is not the only carrier with a permit problem for the Russian airspace: All airlines in countries with political problems in relation to Russia experience difficulties. Air Belgium is a weak and easy victim in this regard. Any "tricks" used to bypass the process will only work against t...
