Turbulance you say?????

Its been a while since I have sounded the warning cry for flying.

With todays events I was reminded of countless aviation catastrophies since my last blog early 2008 when I narrowly escaped with my life; while flying into salt lake. The tragic news this morning that more than 220 people are supposed to be dead after an air france air bus a330-200 “went missing”. Thats right “went mising”. It left Rio Brazil early this morning on its was to paris france.
The plane is a fairly new one. It has an “excellent” safty rating; and it is used in almost all of our us airlines. What they are saying is that “turbulance and possible a lighting strike” are responsible.
Thats funny. I think they mention “turbulance” on almost every flight I go on.
Last month I was on a flight. from salt lake to chicago. We made a stop in denver to pick up more passengers. (I don’t know somthing about wanting to make as much money as possible) On the was into Denver we hit some of this deadly “turbulance” they speak of. I subuquently got off the plane in denver; (sparing my life) and did not continue on to chicago.
This unnatural phenomna of “turbulace” is not really what bothers me. What bothers me is the nonchalante attitude taken by both those in and out of the industry. A little known fact is that pilots can fly the plane out of “turbulance”. Why don’t they? perhaps they don’t care? They fly everyday and likely take a cavilier approach to said turbulance. Even more disturbing is the likely hood that buisnessmen ie CEO’s and CFO’s disallowing pilots to manuver out of bad weather secondary to fuel economy.
Unitll somthing is done to make this industry resposible and safe I will continue to sound the alarm.
The idea that this is the “worst” avation catastrophe in 30 years; as is being said is a joke to me.

This just in: These planes are 100% computer flown. In the event of a total power outage; the plane cannot be flown by a human pilot.

update: heh, you have a computer don’t you? Can you garuntee me that your computer will make it thought the day with out freezing up or slowing down or loosing its connection?

The Wheels On the Bus

How can I sit Idle during this most recent airline/safety fiasco?

So, come to find out this particular maintenance that is being done  has been long over due and is only being done now because it came to public light that the FAA was turning a blind eye to it.

   The Other Foot;

  So now that American Airlines, on the third day has left  thousands stranded due to cancellations because the Wheel Wiring is being “fixed” on all these planes. I just wonder what the quality of the work that is being done is like.  ON THE WHEELS!!!  Certainly you can imagine the managers of this operation standing around with a bull whip going “hurry hurry hurry, we are loosing money; that’s good enough on that one, bring the next one in, How many more do we have to do. OMG…” ON THE WHEELS!!!!       Capitalism???  Big business?????   I do think so.   Look, if we are putting super glue on large wounds in operating room to save time in closing, I guarantee you some corner is being cut on these planes.

flying?

hx. I hate to fly, its not safe

c/c. last week I flew, they couldn’t close the fuselage door and had to call a guy in a jumpsuit to come fix it. also my “seat-back” would NOT stay in the upright position. this was a Boeing 727-300 series plane, Yes the ones in question.

South west has a history of being the “most safe” with “newest planes”.

Dx. down with the man and his big business.
