Cargo businesses amongst other build/hire/rent very close to an airport.

I remember reading a book on The World Trade Centre via a forensic- view point. There were many discrepancies in identification. The Hindi religion believes folk should be given back to the Ganges River for reasons of Karma. During Covid there were thousands of bodies laid bare on the river...

Hi Charlotte 123….your insight is brilliant. Are you in a position to give a “profile” of one who would commit this sort of act?

You’re right, there would have not been a rational feeling of what was happening. You expect lift after take off. Depending where I am sitting I always listen to gear being retracted.

Spot on ….and that’s how they get their hours.

With all due respect it just doesn’t work like that. Also QANTAS stands for Quick And Nasty Typical Australian Service. Hubbie was a Lame for QF for over 40 years. Perhaps bribery in transactions….but not flying.

In my experience …. There would not have been testing when he was with Ansett/there would have been with Jetstar and Qatar. Long haul international airlines would require psych tests….given the dynamics of the Flight Deck. The last thing you need is two people sitting in close proximity for 8...

Pilot’s are notorious for voicing opinions about rosters/hours/management/crew/women and the list goes on. I had been on many flights whereby I heard the Capt/F/O arguing only to return to base. Most airlines psych test crews ….. the last thing you need is 2 people with cultural/religion...

I guess maybe using both hands to disengage.

I can’t speak for other airlines….however if a Pilot needed to go the the bathroom the F/A would have to enter the F/D and lock the door. There is also the threat of pax also abusing Pilot’s went they entered the cabin unfortunately times have changed. The theory is now when one Pilot is...

Not sure if this report has been attached apologies if doubling up.

Crew or airline staff would be permitted to sit their only if approved by the Chief Pilot and Captain.

That’s just ridiculous.

All depends on the weight of the aircraft and distance they are flying….they would also check weather en-route as an alternate as may be required and need more fuel. One or 2 no show pax would equate to 180 kgs…..787’s might have been carrying 126 ton of fuel…..therefore the no shows wouldn’t...

Pre flight checks are done on every departure. Walk around the A/C and then there is also a check list in the Flight Deck. I used to do Load Control many years ago…..using extended runway distance means the a/c is heavy with fuel and pax (also hot weather)….just needs more length. You will...
