A-330 Crash
 
ABC TV is promoting their up coming foreign Correspondent program next week, which I am sure you all will be interested in viewing with - an open mind :)

“There must be a better way to track aircraft “ with visual of the tail section of the Air France Airbus - A330 that crashed, with the loss of 228 people, into the Atlantic ocean.

Foreign Correspondent 8 PM Tuesday

The Aftermath
 
This hasn't been mentioned as of yet, however, the following morning the Journalist who put together this particular story was on Sunrise backing up his feature on the 'scarebus'. The ironic thing is, though, that Sunrise is sponsored by Jetstar who only use Airbus aircraft. Surely this would be opposed by Jetstar as primary sponsor or are people so naive that they will not even think twice about this?

I notice you have conveniently ignored answering my question in post #114. Are you afraid of being discovered as a fraud?

Nuthinondaclock 20th Oct 2009 12:14

FlyBoy737800,

I don't quite understand your reference to the tail being found but from your own link,


the aircraft did not break up in flight
Despite some of the media and internet-forum drivel the initial investigation showed that the tail did not come off in-flight. Any attempted link of this accident to that of the American Airlines A300 is not valid.

You are out of your depth in this discussion. It might be better if you revert to writing the horoscopes for whatever low-grade tabloid you work for. You're much more likely to write something accurate that way.

This is another dark dark day for aviation reporting in this country.

The Emirates COVER UP in melbourne just shows us that the media is a FARCE

Some facts

I love flying A330s (nice red tail with white Roo), they are safe even in the JQ colours (glad that was ignored previously).

I am interested in the QF72/EK407/AF477 reports. All pilots from all types & makes can learn something from these reports.

FlyBoy737800 - keep posting please :ugh: I enjoy the arogance of ignorance. Any update on the ACN/PCN Q?................................ didnt think so!

Hint 1 - see Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigation into the subject of this thread - an Airbus A330.

Hint 2 - see French BEA Investigation into the disappearance of Air France Flight AF447 - an Airbus A330.

Do try to keep up

Yep I couldn’t of said it better myself Skip Undo.. !!

It’s hard having to constantly inform the uninformed but it is my continuing crusade as it seems it is also yours . .

Don’t give up educating these Bozos, my friend :ok:

P.S. "There is a certain Karma which seems to ensure that those who try to get too cute finish up getting bitten on the bum themselves" Yep a vote of Thanks to Capt K :ok:

You're kidding me, right?

You have not provided a single bit of factual evidence. You accuse others of not having an open mind. I'll consider all evidence and then reach a conclusion based on logical and knowlegable interpretation of the information. The trend in this kind of media report is to make a juicy headline and then try and piece together any sort of junk they can to back it up. Hopefully the Foreign Correspondent segment will be better than the last media disgrace.

As for you FlyBoy737800, I repeat, you're out of your depth. You don't know what you're talking about and anyone here who does can see that from a mile away. Give it up.

Re your post #123, Flyboy737800 is no doubt furiously trying to find someone who can explain it to him and then pass the answer on..... thus giving the appearance of NOT being a troll.

drshmoo; great photo.... must be him..... a clown AND full of hot air.

FlyBoy737800..... :ugh::ugh::ugh:!!!!!

CazbahKid 20th Oct 2009 22:56

Flyboy, don't you have anything better to do with your time than bringing nonsense to an informed discussion? :ugh:

Maybe youp0rn is down or something :confused:

Anyway, IAW laid it out perfectly - one ADIRU glitch in FIFTEEN YEARS and suddenly pilots don't want to go near an A330?

It's called sensationalism.

Keg 21st Oct 2009 01:35

skip undo ably demonstrates with two successive posts that they have no idea about satire and sarcasm! :rolleyes: What's even more impressive is that they demonstrate it within the first couple of lines of each post! :E

The rest of those posts just demonstrates that skip undo generally has no idea. :ok: I've heard the 'scarebus' occasionally referred to as the 'Sacre-bus' (as in sacre bleu) and so perhaps it was just a play on words. Either way, skip's contribution has been 'interesting'. :zzz:

Are you really a B737-800 pilot? If you are you would know what the ACN is for the B737-800 and its relationship to PCN. If you can answer this question then we can all presume you are as you say. If you can’t then I suspect you are a journalist trolling this forum and therefore can be ignored.
Come on Flyboy ... I dont want to be RIGID more FLEXIBLE on your behalf, believing that you are a fellow flyboy. But it seems that this simple question is not HIGH on your agenda. No PRESSURE or anything.

news 21st Oct 2009 01:59

Flyboy737800 is absolutely correct. The A330 is a particularly difficult and dangerous aircraft. Pilots of these machines should be compensated accordingly. These men and women risk their lives every time they go to work. The pressure and responsibility for so many lives would be difficult to measure in dollar terms. I trust CEOs and other financial managers pay these professionals accordingly.

empacher48 21st Oct 2009 03:11

The way the Aussie media have grabbed hold of the A330 might mean it'll go the same way as the Nomad..

Just wait until they get their hands on Toll's ATRs and the Roselawn accident, QANTASLink's Q400s and Colgan, of course don't forget the Manly Ferries and Titanic. :rolleyes:

Aviation is still safer to travel than anything else (Motor Vehicle, Boat, Donkey)

Looks like my hunch on Tim Hamilton and the Hammo pub might have been right; and now there is a photo.

If you're going to bounce off Skip Undo to bag someone, make sure you bag the right person!

FCMC 21st Oct 2009 04:58

It happens to them all!
 
Was due to a A/P Pitch computer if memory serves.Lucky the pilots didn't refuse to fly that model.:E Pax hair and scalp were found in the ceiling panels.
Once again some well trained QF pilots saved the day.:ok:

Thanks Captain Fathom. I was going to answer myself but I have instituted a policy of no longer replying to ill-informed wannabees masquerading as airlines pilots.

I just can't decide on the acronym for my policy. All Cretins Nullified or Particular Cretins Nullified? I am happy to take advice however from my peers....;)
