Posts: 193Hurt my eyes
I was with a girl doing her doggy and looking down at her ass and saw hemorrhoids. Almost went soft at the sight. She was great in all other respects, is college educated, and has a superior job, She wants to see me again. She will not accept any form of payment, I pay for meals and taxis. I am debating about telling her I saw the protuberances and to get them surgically fixed if we are to meet again because I enjoy a little ass play and my eyes still hurt. She is fun to be with but I just can't get the picture out of my head.

There are three emergencies a pilot needs to know how to deal with instinctively. They are rapid cabin decompression, putting out an engine fire and controlling trim runaway. Regardless of whether the autopilot kicked in or whether there was a software bug, a properly trained pilot should be able to cope with those situations. That's what they're paid to do. You know as well as me, that in developing countries, not everything goes as it should and their standards in everything are indeed lower.
Mr Cane sir, no point in even mentioning the double 747 collision in the Canary Islands as an example. The analogy is not even close. That was a communication fault between the tower, the KLM pilot and the Pan Am pilot, made worse by the deteriorating weather. The tower should have shut the airport as visibility was practically zero. The Pan Am pilot took the wrong taxiway exit and before he was off the runway, in deep fog, the KLM pilot had already reached V1. It had nothing to do with being too stupid to control the trim properly.
Mogwai, my reference to shithole countries came directly from POTUS (LOL). He used the term to describe countries that were, you know, shit.
(Go Trump 2020).

The first report to watch for is from the Ethiopian Government based on the black box and CVR analysis.
I would refrain from blaming the Pilots at this stage.
Ethiopia does have a stellar safety record. They are in a different league than Indonesia.
I have pasted the latest headlines in this still unfolding story.

"It was go, go, go. " Boeing workers describe a hectic race to update the 737 to beat a rival, a project now under scrutiny after two crashes.
Saturday, March 23,2019 2:00 PM EST.
The competitive pressure to build the jet which permeated the entire design and development now threatens the reputation and profits of Boeing, after two deadly crashes of the 737 Max in less than five months.
Prosecutors and regulators are investigating whether the effort to design, produce and certify the Max was rushed, leading Boeing to miss crucial safety risks and to underplay the need for pilot training.

When I was in high school, Ethiopia was the poorest country on earth, thanks to the socialist policies of Mengistu Mariam. In physics class, we even had a joke. What’s the definition of speed? An Ethiopian with a MacDonalds voucher. Despite it flying brand new Dreamliners in and out of Europe, it still takes several generations to change a country’s culture and mindset regarding governance, procedures and safety.

The stabilizer trim runaway issue is something that all pilots should be able to cope with if they've been properly trained. No point in blaming Boeing. No western or Chinese pilot had a problem with the 737 Max.

Again, according to Wiki (I know) the US 1500 hours can be done instructing, para-dropping or similar in small aircraft and the flight check for an ATPL can also be done on a single engine. After that, subject to a type-rating, they are legally qualified to be First Officer on a B747.
1500 hours was a knee jerk Congressional reaction to the Colgan Airways crash near Buffalo NY. Both pilots had well over 1500 hours, but the captain had a spotty record and the First Officer commuted from her parents home in Seattle, because she could not live in New York base on her salary of, at that time, probably USD 20/25000.
With regard to ED's rant, one shitehole airline tried to get a common type rating for the 737-300 (1st flight 1984) 737-700 and 800 (Next Generation) and 737-700 and 800 MAX. This cheapskate airline is HQd in Dallas TX and is called Southwest.

I'm now reading that the Captain never did his MAX training. Couple that with an FO that is all assholes and elbows, and a poorly designed stall prevention system, and you have a chain of errors leading to a hull loss.

Will be interesting to hear the facts of the event. The co-pilot had 200 hours. In commercial airline terms that is so low.
In the Philippines context, how do those young Cebu Pacific and PAL guys get experience? There is bugger all civil aviation industry. In Australia the young guns go west to the outback, or go get their hours in the mountains of PNG. I'm sure similar in ISA and Europe.
