11 years in ops analysis at a major taught me better, but yeah...i don't know you, and from the statement below, you can see how i'd imagine you didn't have a grasp on what a pitot tube is... |
Yes. Each seat in the cockpit. Sorry if I should've been more specific...
And yes, a spare...
I may not know what ops analysis at a major means but I do know aviation...

lol. THANK YOU :D
ops analysis at a major = operations analysis at a major airline. i dealt with flight/aircraft/maintenance performance analysis for 48,000-52,000 flights per month. |

Right, like they didn't brainwash him and pay him off big bucks to lie. |
Hm, he never mentioned them serving Kool-Aid on the flight... |

"Dear passengers,
You know that red button near the window we told you not to push? Well, the plane is about to crash into a mountain and we lost all hopes of making a safe landing. We're now going to push the aforementioned button, which is going to initiate the ejection procedure and remove the upper part of the aeroplane. Please fasten your seatbelts, make sure you're wearing your shoes and don't look up."

If they ever did put parachutes on a plane they would only offer it to first class passengers. |

i didn't see the 32,000 ft part in the post about the mauritus flight, but i didn't click through the link, either. i meant that a microburst is what caused the delta flight to crash into those DFW water towers on final.
dammit, my horoscope said to not talk to people today. :wtf: |
