I saw that segment this morning. What the Mirror is saying Kooiman suggested is not true. She was simply leading up to the idea that there is substantial differences in training - cultural differences - as one of their guests this morning discussed in great detail.

“We lost 1? or 2? Mars satellites over the same thing.”

Plus a 767 filled with cattle having to make an UNPOWERED LANDING in Canada, as it ran out of fuel...since Canada has this “special need” to be different from the US, so they put in liters instead of gallons.

Yes, but the metric system has nothing to do with it and she mentioned the metric system.

Has Deb Feyerick weighed in on whether global warming caused an asteroid to strike the plane and make it crash?

“Yes, but the metric system has nothing to do with it and she mentioned the metric system.”

If you listen to what she said, she clearly says the metric system is not the problem. She mentions it to show there are SUPERFICIAL and UNIMPORTANT differences in training between our pilots and Asian pilots. Then later they discuss more serious differences (especially pilot freedom to make basic decisions without watch tower approval).

Get it now?

I’m guessing they did not hire her for the post doc work she may have done in differential equations at MIT.

"try and eliminate the pilot’s ability to make incorrect inputs into the aircraft"

No kidding?

This is the sort of thing people say when they have nothing to say.

She's probably also concerned by the likelihood of Guam tipping over.
