That’s what I’m wondering. The location the plane landed at may have gotten a maintenance check that night, but someone dropped the ball on downloading the FDR and CVR before doing so. Usually, when a plane is involved in an incident, it goes into quarantine until the FAA and NTSB have finished.
MD was going out of business. Boeing bought them, but for some reason put the executives from MD in charge of Boeing after the merger. Boeing is now prioritizing cost savings over quality, cutting down worker and training, and has been suffering from quality issues since the merger.
I feel like I’m saying this on an almost weekly occurrence:
McDonnel-Douglas ruined Boeing.
Aside from that, it’s more appropriate to call them McBoeing these days.
It would take a metric buttload of things going wrong for that condition to happen. There are a lot of sensors tied to detecting that the aircraft is on the ground, and the system fails safe in air mode.
The CVR starts recording when the engines start running, and goes until both engines shut down with weight on wheels. It does not start recording when the aircraft has electrical power.
Modern ones are solid state and the owner can choose how long they want to record for. Most ETOPS aircraft will record for much longer than 2 hours. I believe my airline records for 25 hours, even though our aircraft are not based in Europe.
I refuse. 18-20% is for outstanding service, not normal service. Personally, I would rather see tipping go away
They can also be used as a super comma; because sometime you make a longer sentence, or a sentence with complex clauses.
Review your contract. If you aren’t month-to-month, tell them to pound sand.
