Blue Eagle and Mutt,
Ever work at Saudia? I have . Lots of things happen there that you don't hear about. The only way we (crew) would hear about incidents is from each other, the company would tell you nothing. As for major accidents, losing a Tri Star and Jumbo with all on board due to incompetence should be considered. Granted some problems there are small , like 2 kids going out the bottom of a Tri Star because wrong wheels were installed, and exploded over Bahrain. I could go on an on....As for blame, they are very careful to protect locals, in articles about SV162, it only mentioned 2 crewmembers, I quote " The crew consisted of an American F/E and British F/A" How do you suppose the public would interpit that line ?
Is this putting up, if so, who should shut up?
Towerdog,
As usual, you are right.
Rabbit,
See my comment to Towerdog, same applies!
