This disaster should never happened at all. I really think there is a design flaw in the Airbus and agree with the pilot that made the comment that the Airbus was designed by engineers for engineers and not for pilots. Scrap them!!!
There should be something wrong somewhere. We can not be reading about deaths as if it is a story in a novel. Please do something. This is too much. My condolences to the famlies/relatives of the victims. May God be with them all.
David T,
Allow me to repeat for you a posting I made on this blog for one of the writers, himself a true pilot. That will put to rest the non-sense about Airbus. You obviously are NOT a pilot and therefore don’t really seem to know much about airplanes.
Any pilot who comes up with a comment such as the one you entered above has never piloted an Airbus.
I am saying, time to be serious and professional in what we write and communicate.
So here you are:
….”Do you know this fabulous blog, written by an active US major airline pilot? http://flightlevel390.blogspot.com/
He is known as Captain Dave. It is fascinating. He is presently an A321 pilot but is certified on many large wide-bodies, Boeing and Airbus.
He writes (and posts pictures) of his recent (a few days ago) encounter with a massive line of tstorms stretching hundreds of kims and how he had to find a way through them using weather radar. it is a must read for everyone.
He also explains the details of Fly-By-Wire and brings back some sanity and truth to the debate.
I hopes all blogs and writings on the web were that thoughtful, intelligent and unbiased.”
I hope this helps
