Re: Boeing 737 Max Netflix documentary- Downfall

I watched this last night. There wasn't much new information that I hadn't gleaned from the forums on here about the subject other than the loose thread attached to the merger between Boeing and MD. which didn't really bring anything to the MCAS party.

Re: Flybe up for sale

What has happened to BE and who would either buy them out or take over their extensive regional routes in the UK? Their business model must be pretty poor as these routes are generally busy with PAX.

Boeing doesn't need to worry about the Brits, they are soft...

Re: APA: Thousands of AA flights scheduled without pilots due to system error

One might conclude AA is using the same crew scheduling software as Ryanair... Strange how all the Ryanair bashers who had a field day with the pilot scheduling problems the other month (which Ryanair held their hands up to and admitted it was all their own fault) haven't been comparing this debacl...

Re: Derelict CS100s at CYMX

Jeez, is Google streaming live satellite images all of a sudden? Eh, don't think so!

Re: German airlines drop safety rule prompted by Germanwings crash

Debate in the UK at the moment as to whether Doctors should alert the authorities when someone should not be deemed fit for their particular line of work and assciated level of responsibility.
Very relevant to the Germanwings incident I think?

Re: British Airways Route Progress

Why did IAG not launch the Murcia route with Vueling or Iberia instead of BA? Surely they have no chance of competing with Ryanair, Jet2 or Easyjet on UK to MJV routes?
