WARNING!!!
Some of you are not very bright are you? This thread is about the missing AF A330.
We allow some educated theorising about what may have happened and we also allow explanations of associated systems (hardware and natural) that could explain some of the possibilities. However, those of you who haven't figured out yet why your technical discussions on Faraday cages or the differences between X band and C band radar keep disappearing are prime examples of why this thread has to be moderated all the time.
Take your technical debates to the Tech Log forum. You are wasting all your time and effort trying to wave your willies at each other on this thread.
Also, all those outraged types who think that somehow airline pilots who post on anonymous forums have to somehow live up to their imaginations had better get a real life soon. Airline pilots come from all backgrounds and have their own opinions on everything. Whether we agree or not is of no concern to the idiots who come on here and blather on about how badly behaved pilots are when they have no idea whether they are indeed pilots or just spotty faced anoraks whose closest association to a/c flight controls are the keys on their computer and some flight sim software.
I'll reopen this thread but any of those time wasters who haven't figured out yet that this is not a private chat room for them to try and convince the other about how knowledgeable they are about one system or another, had better realise that there are specific forums for their debates and this thread is not it.
If you don't want what you write on here deleted then think before you post it. Is it directly relevant to the topic? Are you guessing or using ill sourced info such as what you have heard from the media? are just trying to let us all know how grieved you are about the tragedy? Think carefully and you won't waste yours and our time!
