Pretty sure I wouldn’t lol that.

Dude had maintenance done and that was the reason he died.

Sad story.

Yeah numb nuts. He most likely didn’t install it. A mechanic is required for almost all repairs and those guys are supposed to have a ton of schooling.

More mask wars.

:)


Old man got slapped with a left -- and also got spit on.

Damn!

Lefty wouldn't allow a situation to spiral so far out of control on his airliner.










Guess where "Karen" is going.

Well seeing as how Lefty doesn’t fly under Part 121, he doesn’t have to deal with mask mandates.

Some companies require masks for their corporate jets. 98% do not so it isn’t an issue I have to deal with.

Kudos to the natives here!

He would climb out of the plane & float to shore.

The locals would then push him back into the water to prevent him from stranding himself.

The Dallas airshow report is in and it looks like the air boss sealed their fate when he order the bomber down the 1000 line and the fighter down the 500 foot line when they had been the other way around thus Chris Crossing their paths because there also wasn’t any altitude deconfliction given.

Value Jet crashes (nose dives) @500mph into Everglades swamp.

Image



"Flight 592 disappeared from radar at 2:13:42 PM, the exact time that it crashed. Eyewitnesses nearby watched as the plane banked sharply, rolled onto its side and nosedived into the Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area in the Everglades, a few miles west of Miami, at a speed in excess of 507 miles per hour (441 kn; 816 km/h). Kubeck lost control of the plane less than 10 seconds before impact.

Officials from the FAA said the plane had just started playing the first in flight movie, Journey To The Center Of The Earth. The 2nd feature was to be Gator."

Hijack attempt!




Horizon Air was operating Alaska Airlines Flight 2059, which was flying from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco before it diverted and landed safely. Pilots regularly pick up jump seats in the cockpit to commute.

“The jump seat occupant unsuccessfully attempted to disrupt the operation of the engines,” Alaska Airlines said in a statement. “The Horizon Captain and First Officer quickly responded, engine power was not lost, and the crew secured the aircraft without incident.”

A recording of the incident from LiveATC appeared to show a pilot of the flight say that the person tried to shut the engines down...

America’s safety at risk as FAA’s latest diversity push puts the woke mob at the controls

It might be time to stop flying those friendly skies, America: The FAA has gone all-in on DEI.

The agency charged with overseeing airlines, plane makers, airports and every other aspect of civil aviation in America has undertaken a diversity push meant to bring in workers whose inborn limitations make them plainly unsuitable for high-stakes, high-pressure roles.

The full list of disabilities targeted “for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring” includes “severe intellectual disability,” “psychiatric disability” and a whole host of other ailments.

You read that right: The severely intellectually disabled and the psychiatrically disabled (that’s a euphemism for crazy) will now be involved in making sure that planes don’t hit the ground or each other.

Worse still, the agency won’t even say which jobs these targeted hires will be doing, responding with opaque babble when pressed for comment on just where a severely intellectually disabled person fits into the overall org chart.

Given the recent Alaska Airlines almost-disaster due to a faulty plane from full-bore-woke Boeing and the troubling string of near-misses at US airports — to say nothing of the other issues plaguing air travel, from unruly passengers to cascading delays — the FAA needs to be pushing to hire only the best and brightest.

Not handing out pity gigs to check identity boxes.

That’s what this plainly is, by the way.

If a disabled candidate can do a given job — and many of them can! — there’s no reason they’d need a special, targeted program to get hired.

It’s why a shrill activist class, when anyone points out the obvious wrinkles of such a program, takes to X and TikTok to denounce them as ableist, sexist or worse — as happened to Elon Musk when he slammed Boeing for its safety failures.

These people have no argument beyond finger-pointing.

DEI pushes have deeply corroded America’s education system and played havoc with its financial markets.

In response, the private sector seems to be pulling back on DEI, but the feds still seem to be full speed ahead — unable even to realize that putting lefty orthodoxy before safety in the skies is utter madness.

Delta Introduces New Short Plane For Special-Needs Pilots

Image

ATLANTA, GA — In what some industry insiders have described as a clear case of "one-upmanship," Delta Airlines has raised the diversity, equity, and inclusion bar even higher after introducing its new "short plane" specifically designed for special needs pilots.

With increased scrutiny of late on airlines implementing DEI policies among crucial flight crew positions, the Atlanta-based airline giant took the unprecedented step of creating an entirely new model of aircraft to accommodate pilots who are either physically or mentally incapable of operating a standard aircraft.

"This is a huge step forward for the retarded folk, er, I mean, the special needs community," said Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastain. "Those who are mentally and physically handicapped are severely underrepresented on our teams that operate multi-million-dollar aircraft and hold countless lives in their hands. Thanks to our new aircraft, no disability is too significant to keep someone from flying for Delta!"

"What could go wrong?"

People with special needs worldwide celebrated the announcement as Delta's engineering team unveiled some of the features of the new aircraft. "This new ‘Air Shortbus A330' is specifically engineered to meet the special needs of our new flight crews," said aerospace engineer Douglas Blank. "Wider aisles, super-tall toilets with handrails, and even a full-time employee in the cockpit at all times to shout ‘PULL UP! PULL UP! TURN! TURN! TURN!' to help impaired pilots. It's got it all."

At publishing time, Delta had booked Joe Biden to serve as a flight attendant on the inaugural flight.

You’re fine with plagiarism/dishonesty/stealing others’ideas and words as one’s own.

Now we can add that you support unqualified persons being placed in jobs which impact public safety as long as those persons are minorities.

Just get the the duct tape out!





A Virgin Atlantic flight that was supposed to leave the UK never took off after passengers spotted a potential safety hazard ...
which makes up the nuts and bolts of this story.

Here's the deal ... last week, this VA plane that was due to depart from Manchester to New York -- but before it could even get
on the runway, eagle-eyed guests onboard noticed something was amiss on one of the wings outside, and they flagged it to the
staff...

Flew from Oklahoma City to San Antonio around 1978-79 on Frontier (I think). My first flight on a commercial plane. Got drunk before boarding because I was terrified of flying. I had hitchhiked to OKC to see an old girlfriend before my wedding and then needed to get to SA quickly in order to see another lady friend. Yeah, I did a pre-marriage tour of exes. Anyway, as I was boarding, I noticed rivets that were backing out of the fuselage. We took off right at sunset and storm clouds were rolling in. Talk about a nerve-wracking flight!
