Of course, having to watch while the co-pilot tries and fails to get into the cockpit is yet another

reason not to fly business class on a short haul flight. Everyone behind the curtain would have been blissfully unaware until they were dead.

Only the plutocrats up front would have suffered imo.

He admits he has deaf ear for comedy, to be fair to him.

[Classic Jorge]

Either that or he was wildly lucky. Given his nebbishnes I'd say it was more in favour of the former.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You stupid, stupid child.

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

We knew that:

a) The plane crashed after a controlled descent
b) There was no mayday signal

There was simply no other conceivable explanation other than terrorism or pilot suicide

Any f**ker with a compulsion can know everything there is to know about something. I'm all in favour of weighing up the facts and coming to a decent deductive point.

So ner

So, in a nutshell, it was not ignorance that was your downfall, but your ego.

I'm similarly scared of flying and this has far from helped

It wasn't. And you continue to behave like a child.

With a little bit of your knowledge just imagine what he could achieve

[Berni]

In fact, it having happened now makes it less rather than more likely that it will ever happen again, since they will bring in measuers to prevent it recurring.

It should cheer you up, if anything.

[Monty91]

we knew.

Perhaps you'd like to offer some retrospective theories that WOULD have been feasible?

mountains / hard things / thr ground..as there is never really a need for this to happen, even if its an emergency landing there is no need to fly into a hill at over 400 mph ever. They have radar, gps, altimeter and fly by wire so ridciulous. 2. Why even have pilots at all ? as they are now the root casue of many of the problems and weakness as they have egos , wekaness and can be manipulated and terrorised. Plus its these egos and weaknesses which stop 1. being put in place as they bleat about needing to be there in an emergency..as now proved as patent *******s.

basically sack off all civilian pilots and all civilian planes fly by wire. also means flights safer against terrorists.

job done..next question please ?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You're also incredibly boring.

look of and it wins big, does that mean I should be applauded for my knowledge of horseflesh? Or have I just fluked it because the things I liked about the horse - based on little or no knowledge - just happened to be important in this instance?

same with train drivers imo ..scrap them all..get the PC's in instead. So still the unions fault really :-)

[Berni]

interesting, since I've always seen the point of aeroplanes as being able to get me from one bit of ground to another, but that's just me.

And taking pilots away won't stop Shootin' Putin from blowing airliners out of the sky, will it?

[Berni]

I don't think the old fraud meant it as a compliment, but I think it actually is one, really

I'd sort of written you out of the tribe tbh.

I think there's one thing for it. We only allow pilots who are Bhuddists.

do considering that there seems to be a great number of muslims with a penchant for committing/supporting large scale acts of terrorisim. These include walking into cockpits to cut the throats of cabin crew and fly the planes into things.

I'm sorry, J - I know you are an apologist for them but the fact here is, if they hadn't committed horrendous acts of terror in the past then this suicidal co-pilot would have faced some opposition.
