Let me tell you about Jesus in my life. I'm Methodist going to a Catholic Church working for a Mormon carrier. 8)

LOL. Some might say you are more open minded than most.

Who the hell is John F Kennedy?

You mean Riverside Drive, right?

(hoping I'm picking up the same reference you're making)

I think he owned an airport.

No, that's John Wayne Gacy

Is it significant that there were 3 "security personnel" onboard, or is that just standard practice for Egypt flights?

Standard for Egypt Air. On a WB even more. They know that some of their fellow countrymen tend to some "nasty" behavior.

It's a great jet. Maybe a little small for some people, but just fine for me.

It's plenty big when it only seats 10

That makes sense.

You're the only one who got it.

Total haul's lost & perhaps fatality count.

I'm not counting.

hulls...

Further, it is pure ignorance to attribute the losses of an aircraft to terrorism, or alleged terrorism, in a comparison of which airframe is more safe. Additionally, it is pure immature childish ignorance to question the professionalism of crew members who have since passed due to the simple nature of what aircraft manufacturer they were operating. Re: Airbus crashes...musta just been poor manufacturing. Re v2.0: Boeing crashes...musta just been poor manufacturing. If, as a professional pilot, you think that an aircraft crashes at a higher rate than another due to its manufacturer I would hate to have a discussion about hazard identification, poor ADM, ineffective CRM, or inadequate piloting skills during high workload environments with you.

I figured grown adults were above such silliness but alas the Internet shows me otherwise. Thank goodness the real world safety and security realm isn't cluttered with such ridiculousness.

Some historian thousands of years from now is going to find these quotes.....

"New evidence shows that humans had electronic networks almost 100 years earlier than previously thought!"

I think that makes me happy.

Kennedy was that guy who did that thing in that place with those people.

Duh....

This is what happens when Les a 777 pilot writes about an A320:

" As a matter of fact, Airbus designs its airliners so pilots cannot exceed certain parameters in both "pitch" and "bank." As an example, the airplane won't go beyond a 35-degree bank turn. This makes these drastic turns all the more curious. "

I have to say though, I agree with him that it's a little early to jump on the terrorist wagon. It may very well have been a bomb. But given AF447, Air Asia 8501, it's too soon to know why this plunged into the water.

The national media is super thirsty for an answer NOW so it can get back to the election and selling more advertising to the campaigns. This is costing them money.

Except CNN. For whatever reason, their ratings actually go up when there's an airliner down (or especially missing).

 

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

Unless they fly the CRJ-200, apparently

I liked that plane. For an entry-level jet, it was great. Easy to fly, trailing link landing gear = super easy to land.

 

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

Egypt said terrorism was a more likely cause of the disaster than technical failure, but no definitive information was available.

The same idiots who refused to accept Egypt 990 was a suicidal FO and that MetroJet was blown out of the sky, saying instead in both cases it was a "technical fault." I really hope the French BEA carries out this investigation. The Egyptians have zero credibility on accident investigations.

Don't worry, Trump apparently knows the answer. He hasn't ever flown a plane, or owned one, but he sits in them from time to time. Clearly, he is an expert and knew the cause before they even found the wreckage. What can Trump not do?
