ON a lighter note for you Japan flyers:
Fuel rod fragments at bottom of vessels No meltdown risk if cooling efforts continue Melted fuel rod fragments have sunk to the bottoms of three reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant and could theoretically burn through the pressure vessels if emergency water-pumping operations are seriously disrupted, the Atomic Energy Society of Japan said Friday. If too many of the melted fuel fragments puddle at the bottom, they can generate enough concentrated heat to bore a hole in the pressure vessel, which would result in a massive radioactive release to the environment.. "It will take at least two or three months ... until the situation of fuel rods is stabilized" said Takashi Sawada, vice chairman of the nuclear body. The fuel rods are being cooled by tons of water that is being manually injected into the reactors and their spent-fuel pools by truck. But if those operations are interrupted for two or three days by an aftershock or other unforeseen event, the reactors' cores will again be at risk of melting down further, he said. |

Gee, thats a little bit of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day. I guess radioactive steam is not considered a release into the environment. |
Ok how fair is it that a controller falls asleep and within a MONTH they have new schedules and rest requirements. No one died on that incident and yet years after the Colgan CRASH with loss of life we still don't have anything done?

The Colgan crash was caused by buffoonery but I agree with the gist of your statement.

As for airlines, they have lobbyists who the politicians very much care about. The lobbyist throw money at the politicians who are thus given incentive for not doing anything to upset said lobbyist in order to keep the money coming. Airline Political Contributions |

Guys,
Alaska appears to have little scope protection and they fly the western half of our domestic route structure for us. Do we have contractual protection from their operation being outsourced to regionals and bypassing our actual scope language altogether? |
