Re: Boeing announces Board and Management Changes

We really need an Alan Mulally and probably Phil Condit (in addition) heading Boeing and BCAG (Boeing Commercial Airplanes Group) Phil Condit, is that a joke? He's the main reason BCA is in this mess to begin with. I am going based off what all my managers used to tell me & what I used to hear ...

Re: Airbus CFO: We're not happy with the issues at Boeing

To be fair, about the same time that Boeing had these issues Airbus wasn't flying high either, with the A380 project facing issues of its own and ultimately becoming a loss making aircraft with less than 300 built. Also, the basic design of the MAX isn't wrong. What's wrong is Boeing promising Sout...

Re: Airbus CFO: We're not happy with the issues at Boeing

One does not need to have experience running a billion dollar corporation to provide an opinion. If it were so, there would be very few commenters, including those who post the comment. This is a variation of the theme that one must be a pilot in order to comment upon flight operations, or a vetera...

Re: Airbus CFO: We're not happy with the issues at Boeing

I don't know what your definition of "soon" is but ever since 787 groundings in 2013 Boeing's woes simply don't stop. Different managements have come and gone. We wither need an Alan Mullaly back to right the ship and who knows .. even maybe a Phil Condit. I really won't hold by breath. T...

Re: Are commercial airline pilots the highest paid profession in the USA?

ATC is in a similar monopolistic power position. Funny... If only that supposed power translated into ACTUAL power. Many, if not all, FAA controllers are extremely frustrated seeing these raises all over the industry not translating to our profession. Despite chronic understaffing, mandatory 6 day ...

Re: AMS putting a limit on international passenger traffic through the airport

The only thing what's known is to where the passengers on (intercontinental) flights are heading to on a high level. There is also data to which city, but that information is not made public. Only the broad geographical area (like North America, Mid America and South America) is made public. Moreov...

My choice for CEO would be Gwynne Shotwell, currently COO of SpaceX.

Hopefully with Dave Calhoun, the destructive Jack Welch GE cultural influences will fade. He brought a culture that didn’t take care of its people or suppliers.

Re: 10 Years Ago Today: MH370

If I am not mistaken, if I recollect, the Indonesian radar (at Banda Aceh?) was inoperative (under maintenance?) that night. I followed the story closely and I never saw anything on that, and I find such a tale to be unbelievable if it has been floated about anyway. Banda Aceh wasn't the only Indon...

Re: 10 Years Ago Today: MH370

One question that has always stood out for me is why has no one asked the Thai or Indonesian military for their radar tapes from that night. Indonesian radar certainly tracked the flight in the Malacca Strait and watched the turn at Banda Aceh; earlier parts of the flight were also within range of ...

As much as you'd like to look into conspiracies, the answer is actually very simple - there's no concrete evidence that the WSPR data would actually bear result.
