Cockpit Chronicles: There's more behind the Air France 447 crash than pilot error {Gadling}
Aug 13th 2011 1:08AM With due respect to those who have commented, the simple fact is that pilots work problems according to the equipment manuals, their experience and plain ole basic flight. The checklist and CRM are crucial to working a problem be it a Boeing or Airbus. The fact that other aircraft of similar altitude, flight track and even equipment type were so close yet easily averted the same fate, reflects back to choices made in the 447 cockpit. Onto a positive note: problems over water and elsewhere are worked every day. If the solution doesn't present itself, we opt for the nearest alternate or turn around. How lucky to be alive to grouse about the inconvenience?

Mar 21st 2011 10:15PM Kent, I grew up in the US and Europe and this will be a defining experience for both you as a couple and your children. I possess an insight and respect for other cultures because I traveled throughout Europe and engaged with the locals in their habitat. Congratulations and blue skies!
