Right. you could hear that in the audio. Something was said about racial comments? Was that a passenger or CSA?

It was a ground power cable. Did Airbus make it? Had one plugged into my guppy once, did Boeing make that cable?

what? See you haven’t seen the news lately. A drunk person could ram their car into a light pole and if it fell and hit a 787 the headline would read “Boeing aircraft involved in yet another Incident!”

Reminds me of the early 2000s when the "SUV" became the press favorite bogeyman, headlines would often read "SUV loses control and runs over 5 people" etc

This escalated quickly. When things like this happen, fingers point to inexperienced aviators with zero data. Do you know how senior the CA was? Do you know if a failure occurred? Considering A320 CA isn’t a junior seat and the CA taxis, who knows what happened. I wouldn’t go pointing fingers just yet. Way to Monday night quarterback though
CA U39xxxx
FO U40xxxx
yup

Rip that if that really was the case. That said, they could be new to the company, but maybe not inexperienced aviators. Maybe they have plenty of airbus time before UA? Maybe lots of time in other airframes? The point being that we should really wait for the actual story to come out before pointing fingers (not saying you are, but others are).
