Can there be a way for the guys at FA to it possible to check or align the blogs on time scale like newest first and so on?
i would say pilot error and from what i heard on the news it sounded like pilot error
*never finished my though
And even that discussion could end with "Since you'll be hitting the glidepath at 600, and changing the plane's configurations including attitude, rate of descent...
SO BE SURE TO KEEP AN EYE ON ALTITUDE AND AIRSPEED IN THAT LAST MINUTE OF FLIGHT AFTER YOU MAKE LAST MINUTE CHANGES TO THE ATITUDE OF THE PLANE AND THE RATE OF DESCENT. YOU DON'T WANT TO GET BEHIND ON POWER OR ALTITUDE THAT CLOSE TO THE GROUND. EVERYTHING ELSE WE CAN LATER OVER A FEW LOCAL AMERICAN MICROBREWS."

So many opinions from unqualified people. I love it! A flight attendant of 38 years who flies weekly on 777's, whats the big deal? It was bound to happen sooner or later. It was good it happened, we learn from accidents and how in the future to prevent them. The 777 is a sturdy piece of machinery. It proved that. we need to learn how to make people sturdier for "just in cases" like this. I always felt we should encapsulate passengers during takeoff and landing in sturdy, fireproof, uncrushable capsules that surround their seats. If something happens, they wont be burnt and if they are ejected from the plane or seat area they would roll around the cabin or on the ground. Later when convenient, say a couple days to a week, we can then open the capsule with a can opener or something and get them out. Time for another bottle of Zinfandel before heading to work.
Ahhhhhahahahahah!
I'd like to know how a type rated pilot with 10000 some odd hours lets any airplane fall 20 knots below vref ever, especially calm winds. Even more amazing is two people watching it happen. I don't care if he or she has 1 actual hour in a 777. Hit the coals. No excuse here.
