More quality journalism
Just pointing out more basic facts that a newspaper has gotten wrong again!! If they can't even get the aircraft type right then what else have they gotten wrong? Big difference between a 737 and a 747.
From smh.com.au
From smh.com.au
the pilots of a Garuda airliner that crashed in Indonesia, killing 21 people including 5 Australians, were arguing moments before the accident, a senior Indonesian investigator says.
Garuda Airlines Boeing 747-400
caught fire after overshooting the runway at Yogyakarta airport in Indonesia on March 7.

Not really - if they're not sure of the type they should either refer to it generically as an airliner, or do some basic fact checking and get it right! It's not that hard.

Then everyone's going to think it's a Beech 99...
At least he didn't refer to that plane as a carpentry tool or a type of hamburger.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that the chief Indonesian investigator would be making comments such as the one attributed to him in the article?
I particularly like how the CVR conversations have made into public domain.
Clearly, in Indonesia its no problem to speculate in media whilst involved in the investigation.
Puzzling. And prejudicial.

Mr Kurniadi and his team will finalise their results within a month.

For mine at the end of the day you can't believe anything you read in a newspaper, or more significantly, anything a journalist has scripted. They are the most inept, bottom feeders in our society. I don't have an axe to grind either. Never had a thing to do with any of them just a constant reminder in the media of how useless they are. It really is the most dishonest and disgraceful position in life.

Defenestrator, just a little harsh, mate. Yes, I don't have a lot of regard for many of them because of their careless and sloppy research. And because of their desire for sensationalism. But "most dishonest and disgraceful position in life"? Not really.
That's reserved for real-estate agents and lawyers........

On thread...
The Age reports in its headline (online) there was NO argument.
Then goes on to quote the head investigator who says there WAS an argument.
No argument on Garuda Flight Deck
OK. Got me confused. Was there an argument or wasn't there? Somebody flip a coin...

Harsh.....Never!
Messrs R & E Johns,
Some years ago I took the editor of a large regional newspaper to task over the downright false reporting and fabrication of facts WRT an aviation related article that featured on the front page. I decided that best course of action was to humiliate the bastards so I sent my letter "To the Editor". I let him have it both barrells and then challenged the weak prick to print my letter. Of course, which is his absolute right, the letter did not make it to print. Spineless, money grabbing, sensationalist scum. Anything to sell papers. And the clowns have the audacity to call what they do a profession. I concur with your addage about lawyers and real-estate agents but I'd put these losers at the top of the list. What a joke of an existence.

Yeah thats right, and I don't really think anone knows what Jet-Star Asia is! Unless they are in the vicinity when the distress flares from a sinking ship are fired shortly!
