DePete: “Pilots need voice in new aircraft approval”

[derg]

Pilots Assoc: After Boeing 737 Max crashes, pilots need voice in new aircraft approval

Failures that caused Lion Air, Ethiopian Airlines crashes must be thoroughly identified, and all necessary corrective actions implemented.

Yes!

OR perhaps that was part of the problem in the first place?

I can go either way. I’m open!

Any reason you are bringing this up 6 years after Joe wrote it? Still super pertinent, but I'm wondering what triggered you highlighting it.

I guess not! Seems to be frowned upon.

I love that song!

And also not in the karaoke catalog list on Princess Cruise Lines.

Bother.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

I think pilot input on "design and development" is more apt, as approval for new aircraft should based on meeting standardized safety and performance metrics. Problem is that there's thousands of pilots. How does one decide which pilots have this input and in what capacity?

If the ALPA cared about safety, they'd have fought the carving out of freight from the new rest rules. As if cargo pilots' live matter less? UPS 1354 could have crashed through a school, a freeway full of cats, an apartment complex, etc. Sad that it may take another cargo carrier crash related to fatigue taking life on the ground to remove the rest rules carve out.

I strongly do believe @Boris Badenov ’s life matters less.

I wonder if they’d consider adding targeted bounties to the regs?

By action of those rest rules, it shows that pilot lives don't matter, only passengers matter (at least financially)

Not to worry, cargo pilots will be replaced by robots anyway.

Even better!

I mean you can make the same argument concerning lithium battery carriage in cargo vs. passenger aircraft too.

Which I’m still suprised we haven’t restricted yet.

In China, anything over a certain mAh is enjoying an extended vacation at the airport because they like to catch fire.

Grease enough palms to look the other way and almost anything goes. We’ve done a lot mitigate the threat at Brown but it’s too much money to leave on the table. Trying to get one lithium battery fire put out is tough. A container full of them will never go out before getting on the ground, or turning the plane into a very expensive boat.

I was surprised to learn even Anker (whom I have hitherto been impressed by quality of) has had to issue a few recalls.
