Hello Folks,
Hope everyone is doing well, in all parts of the worlds where you may be.
Anyways has anyone heard or got any updates on the BA 777 Crash.?
I havent heard anything for a few weeks now, and the rumor about the crash i had heard last was something in relationship to the Captain not being seated on the left seat, as both F/O were flying ( i know both F/O are more than capable of flying-- which is why it makes no sense to me)... Please dont bash me.. im sure allot of people have heard this rumor as well.
But can someone please entail some real information.

What is the replacement schedule, if any, from the January accident at LHR? Will BA be taking another 777 to replace this?

Very unlikely to be true; indeed, had it been true, all of them would probably have been fired, because the captain MUST be in his seat for landing; the relief pilot occupies the jump seat for takeoff and landing. He is after all, the pilot responsible. The two FOs may be occupying the pilots' seats during the cruise, for example during the captain's rest break.
In any case, it has been said that the captain made the flap selections during the descent, in his role as PNF.

The 777 is still sitting tail less by the engineering sheds at LHR, looks very odd without its tail.

Where did you hear that? I haven't seen a hint of such a thing on any reputable sites.

Where would you have heard that???!??!?!?! The Captain has to be in his seat for take off / landing.

If an FO is type-rated on the airplane, he is allowed to sit in the left seat and fly as pilot-in-command during the cruise portion of the flight. For takeoff and landing though, the captain(s) that signed the dispatch release must be seated in the left seat.
So you are partially right. During cruise, there was a several hour period in which both FO's were flying. During takeoff and landing though, the captain was in the left seat.

Any F/O operating in the left-hand seat of the aircraft (or any Captain operating in the right-hand seat of the aircraft) must be checked out in that position to be there. Just because a Captain is a Captain doesn't mean that you can put him in the F/O's seat if he isn't checked to be there - and vice versa. I haven't heard any rumours like this being a problem on BA038.

Don't work for BA (anymore) but what I have heard is that BA are not planning to replace this hull loss with another 1 off order.

Did they have to make any schedule cuts directly related to this accident?

Are there any U Tube or other videos that actually show the crash landing as it was occurring?
With so many airport surveillance videos around, there must be some out there...

I snapped this pic on 30th April while waiting to take off. Figured it must be from the JAN incident, as you don't normally see planes with their vert. stabilizers off.
Glad nobody was injured.

Would they have removed the tail as part of the investigation or are they scavenging this bird for parts already?

Probably a stupid question, but will the aircraft be scrapped? If so, why didn't they do it yet?
25 USAFDO: Thanks Oldeuropean.... I am sure there must be other live footage of the crash landing, but probably it is being suppressed under government security.
26 CityofAthens: From what I understand, the investigation is still taking place; the focus is on the fuel systems of the aircraft - evidently there don't yet appear
27 BuyantUkhaa: I guess they removed when it was still lying next to the runway, to stop it being an obstacle to other aircraft.
28 SWISSER: So what, I don't think this has anything to do with the 777 incident. Very sad the pictures showed up anyway, there is this common saying amongst cre
