So far I haven't seen anything about possible recovery of the payload unless it seperated from the balloon on explosion I would think it to be quite recoverable.

The lady has created her own problem, but I would like to know the dollar vale of the training. It sounds an awful lot like on the job training if she is actually in a work situation. Sitting down for a class or flying specifically to be trained that is training, delivering cargo is not.

I am not the smartest kid on the block, but it amazes me how many people comment on something they neither know or do do understand.

Do I detect snobby here? People do what they can do(afford) or what they want todo. You may be free to be critical of an airline, but it is not given to you to judge the passengers-or where they shop.

The same two words appear in 7 of the 8 descriptions; “Flag Carrier.” Does it make it easier for an airline to get a top rating if they operate with government backing versus having to make your own way?

I know that everybody will say this is stupid, but why can’t they just be old fashioned and put in a curved tube with a ball in in it for showing level wings and suspended vertical rod and reference marking for up and down. Probably the biggest problem would be that crew would be twistingg knobs and not pay attention. From reports it would have saved a few aircraft.

Do pilots not sense a decrease in air speed? While driving a car you can often feels change in speed, which is aided somewhat by visual reference. I’m assuming pilots don’t do as well because of not having visual reference and higher speeds.

The writer bobbled when they switched from talking about flight deck to flight crew which you interpreted as cabin crew-or something like that.

Journalist at work again. Writer: The plane plummeted into the water. Witness: The plane glided into the water. Video shows a nice glide for “landing”.
