It is Boeing in a nutshell. The terminology differences are so silly and in some schoolhouses, it becomes this game where everyone corrects everyone on the correct verbiage but still has no idea how it really works lol.

Haven’t kept up, but how does the RAT deployment play into that?

I honestly don't know but also there is no real good footage of the RAT deployed. It's all very speculative at this point.
Maybe the RAT deploys because of some system logic that sees power coming back on climb out and assumes a dual rollback scenario? I am not sure...

I HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTING!
I may be blindered to some news; has the report about that radio traffic been generally corroborated? I got the impression the initial report came from a "look at meee" type of new source.

New York Times is reporting that they did issue a mayday call. However, they only mention it in passing without any direct quote from an official source.

The RAT speculation comes from the one video that is cropped and compressed to hell. At this point I believe it is a video artifact rather than the RAT.

I think the RAT speculation comes from the sound which sounds identical to known RAT deployment. Could be something else but to my ear sounds like a match.

All the data recorders have been found. We will all know soon enough…

I think the initial video was a recording of a screen playing the video. There’s a video circulating that’s a higher resolution and appears to show the RAT.
In the 787, is there a mode/s that keeps full advancement of the throttle levers from giving you something close to full take-off or TOGA thrust?
Beyond that, I’m thinking of a catastrophic failure that would retard engine thrust (FADEC failure), interrupt gear retraction, and automatically deploy the RAT. A catastrophic electrical failure seems like a possibility.

I think he’s already reversed course on his initial conclusion. Clown •.

CW had a particularly gross one as well, even for him. Impressively he will likely end up wrong on just about every point he makes. I commented asking what he plans to do when that happens, got auto-deleted in less than two minutes.
I believe Cornholio got a cease/desist letter from a law firm representing the family of a crash victim that he recently did a video on.
Trying to recall who CW is…….

Having flown the Airbus and Boeing, I would much rather prefer the Boeing methodology of seeing the thrust levers actually move.
There’s been no shortages of incidents/accidents on the Airbus where the thrust levers don’t move and pilots had a misunderstanding of what the thrust was doing versus what they thought it should be.

Those are his first initials, the one who talks about flying in both the Air Force and the Navy. Pretty sure he wrote a book too. Huge channel, brings on other fighter guys, has a podcast, etc.
