OK..THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY AND NEEDS RO STOP BEFORE A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURS..RUNWAY INCIDENTS WITH NEAR MISSES AND ABORTED LANDINGS ARE ATC ISSUES..GROUND IPROBLEMS WITH PUSHBACKS AND RAMP TAXIS ARE GROUND PERSONNEL AND CREWS..BETTER TAINING AS TO WHO DOES WHAT,SPACING AND COMMINICATION IS A NECESSITY!

people are told to keep seat belts fastened,although not many listen as sometimes even the cockpit crew is taken by surprise..if a flight attendant was injured,obviously the turbulance came very unexpectedly..its good news not more were injured,and the sudden drop is like being on a rollercoaster and not having the bar hold you down as it plunges! by the way, the actor matthew mcconaugahay and his wife were on board, and she was interviewed about it and showed some cell phone footage of what the interior looked like..not fun!

from the recent incidents, it appears the real problem is communication between the atc personnel and the cockpit crews..whether they are not understanding what is said,or misinterpreting,or the controller is just not getting the right information to the cockpit..either way,its a serious matter..whether its inexperienced crews or atc peronnel,or a lack of attention,one mistake can cause a disaster...someone needs to handle the situation nationwide..

i saw an interview with a couple of passengers on the flight,and they said they thought it was "just a litle turbulence"..yikes..they did not state what was said by the captain or the crew,btu they did notice they were much closer to the water than they thought they should be!..

interesting idea..american tried a similar thing several years back, and it didnt last..if you just want to go from point a to point b with no amenities,it might be great..the article states the number of this type of "pass" are limited however..

according to news reports,the visibility was not great at the time..however..thank god the fedex pilots pulled up in time..you have to wonder what the atc personnel were thinking...bergstrom is not a huge airport,but its not samll either..

Good grief people! you are now correcting grammar from articles posted on this site?I might add to the english teachers posting,look up the usage of the words "has stated"in the context of the sentence and you will find this is correct.By saying "has stated",the statement is time framed to be current,as opposed to just saying "stated",indicating a past tense.shall we go on to aviation news now?
