Here's the thing, there's almost always a business man or two that have several global sat phones, one in their pocket one in a briefcase. Unless they killed everyone enroute, someone would make a call. As this story unfolds however; I think most people should hope and pray it crashed.

As pilots we have the privilege of not needing anybody else to crucify us, you will be judged and condemned by your colleagues without due process nor a shred of evidence.......!

Until it is proven otherwise, I'll consider the flight crew as two more victims in this horrible crime.

just one word: bigot.

the amount of ridiculous, wild a$$ speculation here is astounding. for professionals who rely on empirical evidence to do our jobs, where assumption can kill you, the balderdash that posters come up with here is ridiculous.

if this was a thread on a chemtrailing forum, i could see it. but "airline pilot central" ... ??

Tell you what, make that a rhetorical question. There's no need to hijack this thread any further.

Let me guess, you also think jungle is a racist and a homophobe? Just wondering because those three words are always used together and thrown around like it's going out of style. :rolleyes:

I haven't "gone after" anyone because they're a Moderator. UAL T38 Phlyer is still a Moderator, right? I didn't go after him. On the contrary, I used 2 model examples of him posting substantive responses in a respectful way, as any good forum participant would be expected to do.

I took issue with the condescending and disrespectful way in which one particular Moderator was treating a new member of the forum, and then another who saw the need to add a smart alec remark about feelings and trophies. I know you guys don't have a personal stake in the success or failure of this website, but I would think the owners don't want you running off good business.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I am not aware of any requirement to always agree with Moderators. Is there one?

Perhaps the more important question is why Malaysia did not run an intercept on the 777.
Poor planning or slow reaction?
