A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft suffered a mid-air emergency on Friday after it plunged 16,000 feet, coming just 400 feet of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the Hawaiian island of Kauai due to adverse weather conditions.
According to a Southwest Airlines memo to pilots, Southwest Flight 2786 from Honolulu International Airport to Lihue Airport in Kauai dropped from nearly 16,000 feet to an altitude of 409 feet.

A quick read of the link seemed to indicate that perhaps there might have been some pilot error involved. Don’t know, but I’m far past trying to get useful info on articles written about anything to do with science and technology written by mere journalists.
Hope the nearly dying customers take comfort in that they are aiding DEI. Stupid people need jobs to.
I jumped off a 100 foot high cliff at an old abandoned rock quarry. We sat around for quite a few minutes before I said, ah to heck with it. Stood up ran for the edge and screamed Geronimo as I leaped off the edge.
As I had cleared the edge is when I noticed a large rock directly below where I was headed for. I had my arms out to the sides of me making circling motions to keep myself upright, because landing anyway other than feet first was not an option.
I hit the water and braced myself for impact with that rock I had seen. Well, that rock quarry had the clearest water I had ever seen in my life. I finally came to a stop and was relieved to have not hit that rock. Yet was wondering how that could have even been possible, but nonetheless extremely thankful. I estimated that I had probably gone about 10 feet below the surface. So, I casually began swimming to the surface, but seemed to be making it no closer to the surface. Panic began to set in and I started a more rapid ascent. When I finally hit the surface I estimated that I had gone about 30 to 35 feet below the surface, not 10 feet.
Let's just say that was my only jump from that height. I had survived it once. I wasn't about to push it again. 🤣
But it was exhilarating.
Seeing me alive the other three made the jump also, after receiving my tips of how to do it successfully. We all went home in one piece thankfully.
“Journalist” gibberish that tells us nothing from an actual aviation standpoint. That sentence doesn’t make any sense without a lot more context.
Bet that was a thrilling ride!
So now Boing is guilty of the weather?
Take a look at Flight 24/7. The sky is full of Boing jets, so the companies that buy their jets are forced to hire unqualified people and when things go wrong it’s an all out attack on Boing.
Kind of reminds me of the anti-gun journalists.
Logging pilot in command time part 121:
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, a pilot in command (PIC) in a Part 121 operation can log PIC time only if they are the sole manipulator of the controls for the flight and are responsible for the safety of the flight. This is stated in 14 CFR § 61.51(e).
In a Part 121 operation, the PIC is typically the captain or the pilot flying, while the second-in-command (SIC) is the first officer or the pilot monitoring. The SIC can log SIC time, but not PIC time, unless they are the sole manipulator of the controls for the flight and are responsible for the safety of the flight.
In the scenario where a SIC is the sole manipulator of the controls for a portion of the flight, they can log PIC time for that portion of the flight, as long as they meet the requirements of 14 CFR § 61.51(e). This is supported by the FAA’s legal interpretation in the 1999-Carpenter case, which states that a SIC can log PIC time if they are the sole manipulator of the controls for the flight.
However, it’s important to note that the generally accepted rule within Part 121 operations is that a designated SIC never logs PIC time, whether they are a first officer or a captain. This is because the SIC is not considered the PIC, and their role is to assist the PIC in the safe operation of the flight.
In summary, a SIC in a Part 121 operation can log PIC time only if they are the sole manipulator of the controls for the flight and are responsible for the safety of the flight, as stated in 14 CFR § 61.51(e).
It's gone both ways before and many people have never logged sole manipulator time as PIC when in fact they were the SIC, but PF at the time. Others have, and the Carpenter decision legitimized that. So maybe you did that, but for the purpose of hiring, for example, most carriers aren't going to regard it that way.
Not uncommon.

Had to be heart damage done on that flight pacemakers available in the lobby.
“The less-experienced first officer “inadvertently” pushed forward on the control column before cutting the speed, causing the airplane to descend rapidly.”
Dive, Dive!!
Wanted to surf the waves?
“first officer “inadvertently” pushed forward on the control column before cutting the speed”
Had a mexican pilot on an Aero Mexico flight liked to descend that way. Scared hell out of a few of the passenders feeling the bottom fall out.
Boeing has mastered Russian roulette...
This is going to end very badly...
Dunno, butt fairies can fly without them...
Will the cockpit voice recorder reveal that the first officer was chanting ‘allahu ackbar’ all the way down?
