That seems right to me as well. Then I am curious why Boeing says don't deploy.

The Hudson river lander, an Airbus, they deployed the front slides. I spoke with a Westjet attendant and she told me on the Boeing they have to disarm the front bags in a water landing. They would block the doorway! Would the front of the 737 sit lower on the water. That seems like a CofG thing?

There must be a statistic on how many of the billions of birds out there have flown thru the prop and into the windshield. Compare that to the three people who are careless enough to fly near an airport.

This is the way it is supposed to work. Govt borocrates cant heavy hand their way to new regulations. We do have the third branch to protect us. Restores my faith jn the system. Just a little bit.

I always laugh at the request for wider seats. There are 3 seats on tbis side and three on the other. And an isle. The seats havent got any narrower, our asses have got wider.

What is the aircraft in the background at the 39 second point of the landing video. Looks like a shuttle but not??

If this had been me,and it could be. "who among us has not sinned" If this had been me it would not have been national news. A call from ground to call and that would be it. Price of celebrity I agree. And Santa Monica airport.

In the early 80s flying around Northern Alberta I saw them. A friend helicopter pilot told me they were calibration points for the GPS system just coming into use. I think they were made of fabric. I don't see them anymore.

Sure, I can make my business lose money too. All I have to do is lease a bunch of my stuff from my wife and voila, no profit for my shareholders. For an industry that is always losing money they don't seem to have any problem Re investing in billions of new equipment. Where do the shareholders come from??

I disagree. Flying is the cheapest method we have ever come up with for traveling. And is getting cheaper every yr..
