[rexthecat]

Captain Steeve has never mentioned the possibility of pilot suicide. Why? It has certainly happened before.

[Red Badger]

Double not good................

Isn’t that on the checklist?

If not, it should be.....................

[pfflier]

Maybe there was a shift change during maintenance and nobody mentioned the switches to the maintenance crew coming on shift?

Not possible. The flight crew would have to assure they are on to even start the engines.

[TexasGator]

Your post does NOT mention cut-off switches.

[Red Badger]

Was there an Allahu Akbar on the cockpit voice recorder?...............

[TexasGator]

“The fuel was was deliberately shut off. Where are these switches located? Which side - left or right? Anyone know?”

The video gives a very good description.

[TexasGator]

The Captain goes over the various procedures.

[TexasGator]

“One of the anomalies on this flight was that the 787 took up almost all the runway before lift off which could mean engine problems”

5he Captain pretty much dismisses that hre and in his previous video.

[Seruzawa]

Was someone in the cockpit on antidepressants? That German co-pilot who purposefully rammed that airliner into a mountainside was on SSRIs.

[TexasGator]

“Maybe , but cycling the fuel cutoffs is part of an emergency engine restart.”

No cycling in this case ...

Working in air travel at any level should be as difficult to get clearance for as a job in National Security. No DEI, only hire those who are the absolute best qualified to do the job being hired for. They should have to undergo constant psych evaluation. Any fluctuation or the slightest doubt and they are removed from service. No exceptions. Going through tough personal or financial times? Grounded. On some sort of psych drug? grounded. Drugs and alcohol of ANY kind or ANY amount...grounded.

Do not hire people who are followers of a cult which demands death to those who believe differently from themselves.

Do not be afraid to profile/stop/search/detain passengers or potential employees based on the past experiences with people from certain groups. This is about safety and security for those traveling. Basing decisions on 'feelings', 'compassion', and virtue signaling gets people killed.

Ammend the list as you see fit...

Firs rule of the Internet: Never believe anything coming from liberal organizations like the WSJ.

“Maybe there was a shift change during maintenance and nobody mentioned the switches to the maintenance crew coming on shift?”

My high pressurer sprayer and generator have a fuel cutoffs. Neither will start when in the off position.

[montag813]

the engines were intentionally shut down.

Anyone yell "Allahu Akbar" into their headset?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Isn’t that part of a pre-flight check?

[Red Badger]

I hope so!................

Not a lot of time in an engine out on takeoff.

[mewzilla]

Not sure if Captain Steeeve saw this...

See paragraphs 4 through 7.

Note to Captain Steeeve: Love your channel, Captain. But, FWIW, I wouldn’t rely on the WSJ’s reportage for jack spit.

[Churchillspirit]

Thank you.

Could not remember the actual flights. Sadly, not the first time.

“Not a lot of time in an engine out on takeoff.”

Watch the video and then come back with a meaningful post.
