“Some items in the overhead bins may have shifted during the flight. So be careful when opening.”
Yes, IIRC that was a Delta flight in the early/mid-70s that had a lot of prominent Atlanta citizens on board.
Like I said, PIC should have commanded a go around.
Or they used substandard Chinese fittings and hardware. Which, I am afraid, is widespread with thousands of accidents waiting to happen. IMHO
I find that amazing! I never knew we had that tech back then. I obviously wasn’t classified to know.
You are correct. It was a fan failure that took out the hydraulics; It was before my time and I just vaguely remember the two stories.
I know a guy who flies for a major airline. For a long time he flew regional jets for a small operator for that major.” They hire them young to build hours. Usually the right-seater does most of the flying, but in this case I doubt that the co-pilot was actually landing the plane. The wind & ice would have required the experienced, left-seat pilot to perform that landing.
"most important thing is to flare"
Likewise, for example, if they finally started to address the male nursing imbalance (that no one is saying should be corrected because guys are under-represented), I wouldn’t want a male nurse that wasn’t trained properly just because the mucky-mucks just wanted to put male nurses on the floor and be “visible”.
He’s a sport!
Here’s my byline in my profile - he is the BEST!!!!!
My husband tells me I’m sensuous.
“Sensuous up, would you make me another scotch?”
When I read a headline like this I get all excited because I think maybe it’s a “mainstream” headline. But nope. Never.
Your husband sounds just as mischievous as I am! LOL
Crabbed and a lateral load on one gear that hit first. Interesting hypothesis.
😊
If it was a white male pilot, their face would be plastered all over.Never concede language, which can control thought: "
Both. Actually the percentages were pretty close.
This was a 2018 study. Every single job that could be connected to flying. Raw data and percentages.
I DL the pdf, but tomorrow I’ll see if I can find the link to it in my history and post it for you.
The TRUTH About the Delta 4819 Pilots!

This guy in this video is saying that the captain of the flight, that you can hear talking to ATC, is Capt. James Henneman (a guy). The co-pilot is First Officer Kendall Swanson (a girl).
Since the captain is talking to ATC that means the first officer is flying the aircraft.
“If it was a white male pilot, their face would be plastered all over.”
“a male” = singular
“their” = plural
HIS face would be plastered ...
“DEI might need 50 hours.”
DEI just needs to be able to spell it.
But seriously, I want more info before I condemn anyone.
“Some items in the overhead bins may have shifted during the flight. So be careful when opening.”
Probably not a problem when your feet are standing on the overhead bins.
