SAA skids off runway

[Fakawi]

There are allways the self appointed gods of aviation who, in their wisdom, go off on an Airbus slagging campain.

Interestingly enough, not much the opposite way (toward Boeing).
That in itself tells a lot about mentalities.

[Kasompe]

Perhaps, Fakawi, because there isn't a lot about a Boeing to slag off!!

[TAVLA]

Of course no Boeing has ever left the runway after hitting a 40 kt crosswind on touchdown. That is as long as we exclude Singapore Airlines in Munich a few months ago..............

[cavortingcheetah]

If performance and success are measures of remuneration then can it be that SAA jet jockeys are paid the same as SIA in spite of many elemental differences? Shouldn't we be told before the next 40kt crosswind comes along to blow our financial touchdown planning clean off course.

Naturally:
skill <<directly proportional>> remuneration <<directly proportional>> observers bland unrelated comments


But maybe not...................................

What happens hen BOTH pilots are pressing the Priority Override switches?

[journeyman]

The last one to press has authority

[Shrike200]

Then the one with the best playstation/xbox skills wins, because it 'awards' control to the guy/gal who can press it with the highest r.p.m, then plays a little tune, and gives them an 'achievement unlocked: Take Control like a boss!' gamer tag award, which is sent via satellite to MS Live or the PS network in case you ended up dying in the fireball.

Or not...pity!
