That guy had some grudge issue right?

The reading malfunction was due to icing as they flew through the bad weather. Icing can cause serious safety issues.

Hi, that particular flight flew through a big band of really bad weather and had issues related to it. The weather this time round does not appear to be anything like what Air France experienced. This time of the year the weather over the South China Sea is fairly benign until the typhoon season...

Yes of course, in the final analysis its always safety before comfort and economy of operations.

Thats mainly because the aircraft is very close to the ground and there is very little recovery time.

Very very sudden is the most likely explanation. The plane can however send out its own distress signals via ACARS but so far no mention of this in the news.

Not a nice situation but we'll just have to wait and hope for their best outcome.

I am a lifeless pregnant fish ready to be served in a Japanese restaurant thats why my sadness.

They still give problems but the Chinese mainlanders have overtaken them.

Yes bro....as a matter of fact these apron drivers are quite skilled at avoiding one another. These days with the congestion there are getting to be more and more traffic lights at the various junctions of the ramp and service roads. Remember the days when there used to be none.

This is occurring more and more these days and one of the causes is the usual cost cutting measures to maximise profits. In the good old days there were enough pushback vehicles or towtugs to easily handle aircraft departures. These days however with the increase in the volume of traffic...

These downgrades dont happen arbitrarily. There are criteria to go by , warnings given and continuous monitoring for compliance. Many things can cause downgrades. Many years ago MAS had a ' carry as little fuel as possible ' type policy and they used to land at thier destination airports with...
