Air India B787 crash Ahmedabad

What would they investigate? The odds against the multiple failures might be immense, but so were the odds against a random oxygen bottle explosion. And someone wins lotto each week. I’m not hearing anything from my 787 contacts.

Beats me. VH addressed a small group who were gathered for unrelated reasons a few days ago.

Qantas are just saying what they want to hear.

If they had invested more in local engineering capability then they wouldn’t be concerned if any fleet wide checks are to be ordered, because they have the people on the ground here to get stuff done quickly. They made those decisions to cull so they can reap what they sow for all I care.

No doubt any costly grounding they will use an attempt to further push down wages, outsource, or lay off higher paid workers. They have form in this space.

Management remuneration is the forefront of all decisions!

Thats if anything at all was said ( about 787 safety).
The context of the 'rumour' is important, if it's at the club over a schooner and $20 schnitzel & chips, then it's relationship to reality is tenuous.

I’ve seen QF’s response to major incidents in the past, RdC’s for example. Information came quickly from the Chief Pilot, as you’d expect. There was total silence from the various CEOs, simply because they don’t know, and are simply SLF as far as the pilots are concerned. So if VH were to pop up and said what’s been inferred here, I’d immediately wonder what is being hidden.

You cannot read anything into Boeing’s silence. They came out and blamed pilot error for at least one of the MAX crashes, and then still sat on information about MCAS until it was forced out of them. They have form, but whether it’s involved here is a complete unknown.

There are four high power buses, each fed by a different generator.

How likely is it that four do so? Apparently at the same time.

Very unlikely indeed. I mean with that type of redundancy you would not expect a failure of this type. However, aircraft have been brought down by the failure of redundant systems due to freak causes like United 232. All I am saying is these aircraft weren’t built by amateurs obviously there will be redundancies in place. But Boeing cannot account for all freak accidents that can happen nor can they account for all the ways an airline operating their aircraft are negligent when it comes to maintenance.

Do a bit of research on the whisper program against Captain Peter Burkill within BA after the 777 accident at Heathrow.

Do a bit of research on the whisper program against Captain Peter Burkill within BA after the 777 accident at Heathrow.

This bit probably sums it up:

"He said: "They'd (cabin crew) been told by their training school that I hadn't done a number of things in the flight - that I'd actually frozen and hadn't done anything in the flight deck,"

How would these people know what happened on the flight deck?

Geez, there really are some nasty people out there.

His book came up when searching his name. I think that I shall buy it.
