Asiana 'go-around' rate at SFO raises concern - San Francisco Chronicle
I find this disturbing on a couple of levels.
1) I believe the Airports Director has jurisdiction over how an aircraft may be operated and parked on his airfield, after they've arrived. I'm not sure if he has the authority to insist that other airlines supply crews.
2) Senator Feinstein has much to answer for in the NSA mess, she should probably keep her nose out of aviation.
3) An international outfit I am reasonably familiar with used to do about 1 G/A per month, with one flight per day into SFO, and at least half of them were due to TCAS RAs due to spacing.
4) I wonder if Asiana has a POI assigned by the FAA, and what is he doing these days? All the boxes ticked on his once-per-month visits?
