That is one way to fix it....

 

It takes 200,000 lbs of fuel and 300mg of caffeine to fly from LAX to SYD. The A350 will never be useful on that city pair.

What about the health problems created by dehydration if pilots can't drink in the cockpit? Does it have a secondary barrier like the A330? I would drive the FAs nuts stepping out for a drink every hour. On the plus side, it will help prevent DVT by walking out of the cockpit every time you need a drink.

 

Someone needs to tell the FRC that half their FRMS is now invalid. Fatigue and refusal to extend calls are 98% paid BTW.

 

Shades of pilot blaming.

“I’m sorry, your pilots caused this by making a normal human error caused by the millions/billions of drivers/pilots every single day. You can’t possibly expect us to design a system that would mitigate this entirely predictable error. The engineering expertise simply does not exist.”

Airbus does a much better job than Boeing designing for human factors. Sorry to see they went this way on this issue.

 

EASA mandated it, not AIRBUS.....

No, Airbus does not do a better job. Plenty of airbus aircraft have crashed due to human factors issues. Both manufactures design and build their aircraft based on established industry rules and practices. Airbus's only advantage is they started a few decades later when many new standards were adopted. Old aircraft being updated do not have to meet modern requirements if they can prove to regulators that leaving it how it is, is safer than bringing it up to standards. Airbus does the same thing. Boeing has already admitted they made a mistake and pushed the 73 to far? Will airbus make the same mistake? We will know in 20 years. Regardless, some of the systems that do not meet modern standards have 300 million safe flying hours, which is why older aircraft are allowed be that way.

If Delta pilots were allowed to fly Delta's partially owned 787s you would see Boeing does understand human factors.

 

New favorite distribution.

 

Oops.

Thanks for the correction.

(Having tens of thousands (“humble brag”) of hours in both, I still think Airbus is the platform I want my family flying in, because they “get” pilots are human and do boneheaded things ....and g-dam it...”popular” Boeings are noisy, cramped, no bag space, and the annunciation system is a f’ing embarrassment on the 737...seriously...how is that whole system still a thing?)

 

So on the 777 boeing still hadnt figured out human factors?

 

it's really simple just fatigue out. One cant legally not be fatigued on a flight call out for what ever reason. If sleep is a problem enough FCR/ASAP the company asto why...
