My biggest mistake was joining it.
Hotel Tango - You started this thread with what you purported to be your own words, followed by a serious question.
What do you think this or any other forum is? A closed sandbox with pre-determined participants? A "subtle" "commentary" on a subject with which you and others have a demonstrated lack of experience?
Grow up. It is open to the world. Learn from other people's perspective, or ridicule them. It's your choice.
All of you.
This isn't a business you can crib your way out of. Shit happens, then people die. If you feel you need to make light of that fact, Canadian aviation is headed for the toilet.
An A320-driving friend made the following comments after AF447. When told it was in bad taste, his response was that if he spent all of his time worrying about what could go wrong, he wouldn't be able to get off the ground.clunckdriver wrote:Its a good thing that the conversations we had years back when digging in a smoking hole trying to find enough body fragments to meet the then criteria of death wernt recorded, Chick you got it right, we refined "black humour " to an art form, Grief counsellors came later when too many shrinks graduated and couldnt find work.I am willing to bet that the late pilots best friends will be at the forefront of such conversations, a bit like a good Irish wake, the the departed in his/her box standing up in the corner, no longer PC in the new world which has made death into a very lucretive buisiness for those in the funerall and memorial trade.
(The girl who will be cracking jokes on her death bed found it somewhat funny. But then, it must run in the family--my 86 yo's grandfather's last words to me, when I asked him if I could get him anything was "I'd like a 64 year old blonde nurse". This was after he told me he hoped to go to hell "where all the bad girls are")This just in from the Cockpit Voice recorder!:
Capt: Merde! we've lost all ze flight computers rendering our controls useless!
First officer: Zut alors Capitane! What can we do?!
C: would you like a cognac?
F: Ben, why not? my duty day just finished...
C: I'll call the flight attendant
Sound of chime. Sound of door opening.
F/A: yes captai... ohhh look at all ze pretty flashes! I've never seen ze inside of a sunder storrrm.
C: Mais oui! you can see it better without all ze lights on inside ze aircraft.
Sound of metal tearing, rush of air.
F: Sacre bleu! zere goes the flight attendant.
C: Tabernac esti! How'll we get our cognac?
F: well i suppose we could just finish ze wine we had for lunch..."
That's awesome, my kinda old man!! ....Hell really doesn't sound so bad if you think about it like thatYHZChick wrote: my 86 yo's grandfather's last words to me, when I asked him if I could get him anything was "I'd like a 64 year old blonde nurse".

The remaining flightcrew members were more than qualified to continue the flight. I have many contacts at Continental. This was an incident. They happen.
You should all be ashamed for being part of this industry. One day, it might be you being held to ridicule.
Pfffffhahahahaha! I like it widow!Widow wrote:
