In mid-December, a San Francisco-bound United Airlines Boeing 777-200 airliner, just a little over a minute after taking off from Maui, Hawaii, suddenly dived. It lost more than half its altitude and came within 800 feet of crashing into the Pacific Ocean before pulling up.

I've been trying to tell everyone who will listen that we are headed for major airline disaster in the USA which will mark the end of the golden age of air saftey in the US. It's too late to stop it now.
ReplyDeleteWaIs the pilot's name Kingfish and the 1st officer's Lightnin'?
ReplyDeleteWell , we just have to hope that when the airplanes start falling out of the sky that there are a lot of politicians on board them .
ReplyDeleteI worked for a major airframer. Meritocracy is, indeed, dead. They were more interested in promoting woke bullshit than building and maintaining airplanes. The mngmnt strived to bend or "re-interpret" every rule. I told these worms that every policy put inplace was due to a problem situation at one time.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I flew anywhere was in 2003, well before affirmative action-hires and vax mandates.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to drive whenever possible.
We need more people of color in the cockpit (oops can't call it cockpit anymore) This world is an Idiocrasy.
ReplyDeleteSorry. It was time for some f.g to be minister of transportation.
ReplyDeleteThis is why we retract the flaps immediately after takeoff. Turns out it's pretty important.
ReplyDeleteI am a little apprehensive every time I have to fly. I always make sure to check the pilots status.
ReplyDeleteThe ATC dude on that Fed-X vs SWA narrowly-missed "same runway" fuck-up was Amish as shit! Why isn't the news all over this guy's ass? The dumbass cleared 2 planes to use the same runway, one landing, one departing! If the Fed-X captain hadn't been paying attention, over 250 people would be crispy critters.
