I read something over the past 10 days, forget where, but pilot was saying that when you're in the middle of nowhere, like over the Indian Ocean, getting in contact with someone is a 6-7 step process. He explained why, and I forget the details, but the point was it's not just a simple matter of turning on the mic.
Who ever gets the hot woman sitting next to you. In 25 years of flying I think I've had that pleasure once. More often its a troglodyte. Your going to have to crawl past that thing and locate the hottie. Then get in line.Who in here upon learning you are going to crash and die would start tearing hot womens clothes off.
I could understand if they were in the middle of the Indian Ocean. But this plane first deviated from Bejing while over the South China Sea. To get to the Indian Ocean, the plane had to pass over Malaysia and probably Indonesia. This isn't the first air disaster where pilots didn't communicate to ATC while they were trying to get the problem under control. I think that needs to change. It would eliminate a lot of early guessing about pilot suicide, hijacking or wormholes.

Yeah...I honestly have never gotten this either. I'm not saying communication is necessarily your FIRST action, but you can communicate while doing other things. As some have said, commercial pilots compartmentalize. One flies the plane, and the other tries to fix the problem. I don't see how the plane could have flow for 7 hours (meaning there wasn't an immediate crash risk that forced the pilot flying to have to fight some aerodynamic condition, etc), and not have even once tried to communicate.
Who knows, but I'd guess with each passing day, 2 things become more likely:
I read somewhere that there is some sort of override code for the door lock. I'm not sure if it's only known by the pilots or not. I think the example they gave in the article is if Pilot A got up to go take a dump, and Pilot B wouldn't let him back in the cockpit, Pilot B could get in via some sort of override.
There is about 1 total page of news.
Heard the same thing. But they said that the door could be locked from the inside with a deadbolt. I think the idea is that the pilot could take a dumb and get back in without issue, but in case of a hijacking, the pilots could deadbolt the door.
So if they determine this is what happened, what's the next FAA move?
Let him have his moment.Who in here upon learning you are going to crash and die would start tearing hot womens clothes off.
I doubt it.
Clearly they have to take the door off the cockpit - for the safety of the passengers
I would probably just be hoping that the sh!t is limited to my own pants and my screaming and crying didn't seem too sissified.Who in here upon learning you are going to crash and die would start tearing hot womens clothes off.
Brings up a new theory. Can you land a 777 on a huge sheet of ice, refuel, and take off again. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned salt flats.
Fair enough. Could you get a ship close?
There's a Pilot A Took a Dump Theory?
I mean...I guess...maybe with a loooong hose. Seems like a LOT of effort. Not to mention I'd say the odds of landing without incident are far <10%. If you hit a soft spot in the snow with normal tires, you're breaking something, and you don't exactly have the tools to fix a 777 on an ice-sheet. Not to mention, you'd probably be out of the beef stroganoff meal option for the return trip.
They'd hear the black box beacon. What about UNDER the ocean floor? That way the black box beacon would likely be undetectable.
This makes sense. Like a cave.
