Spot on. And on an international flight there was likely a 3rd pilot in the observation seat who should have been paying attention to where they were. The PM never looked to check her side. They should be grounded and retrained. Major major breakdown in procedures here!

Any bets as to who the bad actor is? China? Why did the Canadian NOTAM system also go down?

Exactly. Why does the FAA have to go woke with gender neutral BS?

Indeed the elephant in the room is why are young pilots dying and having medical issues all the sudden? Could it be the myocarditis the jab causes??? This is why you never mandate something experimental! Trust me, this isn’t the first case of a healthy pilot having post jab issues on the flight deck and it won’t be the last. RIP fellow aviator.

Why do we need the Federal government intruding on our right to freely travel throughout the 50 states? It’s a constitutional right. Stupid ID laws infringe on this. As it is, you have to have a state issued ID to travel. Why increase this requirement and force me to pay more for my drivers license? It’s all about top down control. Resist!

I wouldn’t hold my breath that this is truly the last 747 to be built. There is still a huge demand for long-haul huge payload freight. The only other airplane that comes close is the 777. We shall see if Boeing keeps their word.

I like how they call the incident with “minor wing damage” an “accident.”

As long as airlines can make money pushing metal around and are still able to fill the seats, they will keep doing what works. Remember that list are Publicly traded companies. It’s in the best interest for their shareholders to make as much money as they possibly can. It will keep going on like this until the pilots give, or there is a major accident.

“Glitch?” It’s really more likely they let too many go into early retirement in 2020 and then when people came back to fly, they were not prepared for such a bounce back. Airlines all over cannot hire and train pilots fast enough. The cherry on top is the forced jab in order to stay employed. This was the perfect pilot shortage storm.

No comments, eh? Well how about this: Why is it the airlines fault that their country is involved in a military operation? Losing a slot(s) is a BIG deal in aviation. Something like this could put an airline out of business.
