My deepest sympathy to the crew and passengers who died today.
Very saddened by the comments from Kokordski and A310Driver. Although on different matters.
Konkordski, I find your comments very sad. Whether people want to mark that year as a year of success in aviation safety, whether a year is 365 or 400 or else n° of days, so what?! why are you bothered? At the end of the day, it was a year, from Jan 1st to Dec 31st 2002, without fatal commercial accident. End of the story. There's too much of a note of satisfaction/sinism in your words. A bit off line I think. But, at the end of the day, everyone is free to think whatever he feels like, isn't it.
A310Driver, thanks a lot for your comments. I hope you remember that you were once a "inexperienced" 2400 hrs pilot. did you got your first job carrying passengers at 15000 hrs? I enjoyed your words of sympathy and respect for fellow pilots and for those who lost there lives today.
Hope you guys have a nice day
