hey 411a,
fatigue is insidious, and in studies, equates to elevated levels of blood alcohol content. bad decisions are easier to make, as judgment is impaired. (LIT)
some turbulence on departure (preceeding 747?) at JFK for the A300-600 (AA587)...and they really think the FO tore the tail off. yeah right. 2 or 3 FULL rudder throws were recorded...hmmm, I wonder if the rudder could have already been gone/flapping in the wind (AirTransat?), and maybe THAT'S why it was recorded that way. Like a pilot would actually go 3 full throws of the rudder- back and forth.
but, it's always easier to blame the dead pilots, right?
a real AA hater, huh?
