Oh Christep,
Where do we begin with you? Do you live under a mushroom or are you just having a go to see who bites?
Well it worked - I'm biting.
Have you no idea about aviation and the mishaps that occur?
Do you understand the words liability and morale responsibility?
Have you any idea the role that cabin crew provides?
Or are you just sitting back enjoying the bloody mary's and watching the feature film?
There may not have been many successfull full ditchings in to the sea but should we get rid of the lifejackets and life rafts on that issue alone?
How about when the aircraft takes a nose dive off the end of the runway, and that runway leads straight in to water? e.g. SYD, old HKG etc
There have been incidents just like this and successful evacuations were carried out using all water emergency eqipment in the aircraft sections that required their use.
You CAN have an aircraft crash half on land, half on water. And what happens to the poor souls who can't swim? Or do we only allow pax that can swim competently to fly? There are many nations where swimming is not a strentgh, should we just ban them from hopping on a 747? Or do we just watch them drown?
Perhaps your theory would best suit the bean counters in this world but for world wide aviation safety it would be a tragedy.
I think Christep you need to do a bit of research in to this before you pass an obviously ill informed, uneducated view that I think is not only irresponsible but offensive!
Perhaps we could use you as a flotation device next time we ditch.
