Another great video, Guido. One question: I remember on an earlier 'lesson' that you said that you recommend and always, wore an oxygen mask when you went thru FL 400, or something around that, due to the danger of rapid loss of consciousness if anything went wrong. Did this flight go to FL 430 and if so, have you changed your approach to this procedure?

Nice Video. The 400 is a workhorse. Seems 2 me the designers could have spared a little more clearance over the front panel for more comfortable forward vision. Just my thought.

Should be able to get the flight recorders out quickly...

It's probably just as hard to drive a Carrier in the Desert, too...:-)

No mockery intended. Hoping for a miracle.

Wouldn't it be cool if it landed in Beijing tomorrow morning at precisely the original arrival time? And, everyone got off the plane and didn't know anything was wrong, couldn't understand why no relatives there to greet them etc., And the pilots thopught everything went normal except for a fog in the middle... Great movie.

No disrespect intended but have you ever seen any group that were more demonstrative in grief than Asians? I remember when the North Korean Pres Kim died fairly recently and they rolled on the ground for days. I do feel sorry for them, particularly when there is no real confirmation. Such is the custom and culture I guess.

Airplane hobos are dwindling in numbers.
