How has the controlled ditching theory or southern route been excluded? I’d love to see evidence of that. Not yet but they're starting to run out of viable places to search under the presumed flight plan. If that were not the case they'd still be searcing today. Also, finding the cause of this acci...
Jump to postSeems like the main news in recent memory is that intact ditching and/or the southern route projection are nearing exhaustion/exclusion status. Other than that I'm not sure what else has been released publicly. It's possible current technology could find the remains of the aircraft if we had unlimit...
Jump to postThe seat pitch seems like a major improvement compared to knee-crushing Y on NH's 777. W also looks good but J seems kind of basic for 2018. Maybe it looks better in person or with a different visual representation. Not a fan of the livery though and doubt I'll ever end up on these aircraft if they ...
Jump to postperfect example of you get what you pay for. In order to make money of these CHEAP fares we all demand, the airlines have to use out sourced workers at lower pay rates, In order to make money on these CHEAP fares the planes have to be in the air for longer periods. so that means less ground time wh...
Jump to postMore and more, it seems many people are only happy when they are angry. Every morning there is a new Outrage of the Day to be indignant over.

Jump to post700mph? Did I hear that right? Maybe JFK-LHR on a good night, but for the average 77W flight to Trivandrum, I find that a bit hard to believe. On eastbound TPAC a ground speed of 700MPH is not that unusual. I've seen it more times than I can remember. Two days ago it was around 730MPH thanks to a t...
Jump to postI regret that I haven't had the opportunity to travel on an 747. In my experience 747 interiors were often ignored and rarely updated on the inside. It was weird flying on an aircraft with ashtrays, drinking water spigots, and projection televisions with audio supplied by air hose headphones. Still...

Something I haven't seen mentioned is that an unrestrained flight attendant can become airborne during emergency breaking and be jettisoned into the path of other passengers.

Jump to postHmm, I've never really had to think about it.
