The writ also claims the altimeter gave a false reading of the aircraft’s height

Surely thats the airlines responsibility to maintain the avionics and not Boeings, also aren’t the Altimeters checked during the checklists?

This is just so hard to believe, since i started working in this industry any crash just hits home even harder, i put people on these flights on a daily basis even for AF and you i never image that anything like this can happen, you see them take off and you never think that plane might just not make it there, I have high hopes that something will be found within the next 24-48 hours, and I hold hope even being it the tiniest glimmer of hope that someone will be found alive.

That Adam Air 737 just vanished of the Radar during its cruise.

Exactly what went through my mind, if the lightning strike has possibly taken the avionics out, may the pilots have succumbed to Spacial Disorientation?

Does the 330 not have an stand alone analogue AH?

A lightning strike alone should not have such a drastic effect on a modern airliner??

If I’m reading charts correctly. The ocean around the area in question is up to 2 miles deep. It’s going to be hard to get a signal from the locator beacons on the boxes at that depth.

Would the electronic components in the boxes be able to withstand such pressures at the depths where talking about?

this is coming from a check in agent:
If you miss your flight and start screaming and shouting at the check in agent, we have no motivation to make an effort to get you on the flight

if you come to the desk and admit your late, and plead nicely we will do our best to get you on, if you keep pestering us we lose that motivation to make the effort.

Loud and aggressive will get you no where, friendly and appreciate will get you a damn site further.

as for the video seen that happen on airline once, fully grown adult rolling on the floor screaming cause she missed her easyJet Flight :S

I wonder who’ll be next… EXS?

it amazes me Eastern Airways haven’t gone under yet, the prices they charge even seen some of their Saabs come in with only 1 punter on.

My money is on possibly RyanAir or EuroCypria for the next ones.

everyone at NCL wants Jet2 to go LOL 😀

JBoyle:
Yes, you are correct. Military pilots in large transports don’t usually wear parachutes during peacetime paradrops. Neither do helicopter pilots.

Would you want to be the one jumping out a heli going down?

Quick Mince 😀

That said when i went gliding of flying in the Air Cadets we had to wear chutes and we were only in small 2 seaters, e.g. RAF Tutor.
