Avro'ansome -

I had heard that the disgruntled employee was in fact a pilot. Also, if diving an aircraft at the ground isn't suicide, what is?

I haven't really studied the incident, and it isn't relevant to the discussion in any case- except that I believe the aircraft exceeded Mach 1 in the dive, and the subsequent investigation revealed that nothing important departed the airframe prior to impact. Unlike a 737 that disintegrates in the cruise!

Ah well, enough 737 bashing. I hope all 737 drivers realise I was only using their workplace to highlight the flawed logic of Effendi and co. It's a good plane really, for all its faults.

The 146 door problem appears to be hardly worthy of the title "problem" at all. Many aircraft will suffer similar "problems" if you fail to operate them in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
