Besides, I spent 9 years living in a small town serviced ONLY by Dash-8s and Saab 340s jumping to PHL or PIT. Don't remember enjoying any of those flights, and the flight crew always looked like they were barely out of high school. Not to mention the seats are probably the most uncomfortable seats in the history of commercial flight. |

So a question, why wasn't the plane freaking out since it had more than enough sensors to know it wasn't on energy and was about to meet the ground at an unacceptable decent rate? I had assumed that planes this new had alarms that went off if you start to get out side an easily recoverable performance envelope given the elevation of the plane above the ground? Basically Death Valley and the Dead Sea are the only places on earth where they would have been in a recoverable position for the preceding several seconds at least.

Edit: I'm going to research the claim about a couple of the pilots being ejected. Seems unbelieveable...

This may only apply in South Korea and may actually have more to do with airfield readiness for military operations than punishing people for crashing. May, I have nothing to support that. That said if I shared a boarder with North Korea and had been in a legal state of war for more than 50 years I might be paranoid about civilian aircraft screwing up runway facilities, even accidentally. Just a thought.

Damn as more and more information is leaked, I just end up feeling bad for the flight crew. With the media attacking them and digging deeper and deeper into the log time :/

slides are contained in a small cube shape in the floor. this is so that if you ditch or something and don' want to open a specific door for whatever reason, you can still extract the slide, toss it out another door and inflate to use as a raft, for example.

Turboprops really aren't a whole lot difference than turbofans. In a turbofan there are just more blades, they're housed in a cowling, and you can't adjust the pitch of them. If I'm going to get into a situation where I need more power, quickly I'd rather be in a turboprop vs a jet. Turbo fans have a pretty good delay from the time you push the thrust levers forward and you actually get any thrust out of it. Throw in the more predictable stall characteristics of a straight wing, I'd say you are probably more likely to extract yourself from a crappy situation in a prop. Ill give you the fact that they are be as comfortable. If you're worried about young pilots, most turboprops have gone away in the past 10 years. Ill let you guess what the young pilots are flying now. |

Not two weeks ago I asked someone at the FAA (in a completely unofficial capacity) if there were any aircraft makes/models he would avoid getting on if given the choice. He didn't hesitate to name names.

Why bring up the conversation at all if you're going to be clam up with any details? You're like the bitch on facebook who posts "Oh what a terrible day!!" And then waits for everyone to give her attention and ask her what's wrong.

On an unrelated note...
In the last few months we've had a few aviation disasters, a couple serious rail accidents/disasters, a bridge collapse, and a chemical plant disaster... and not too long ago a couple of serious cruise ship incidents. We're due for a good mining disaster. Or has China had one recently that I'm just overlooking? |
