No debris in the ocean, questionable pilots, now the batteries are bad...something is rotten in Denmark.
Oh darn!
As the Church lady says “ how convenient “
This really does it.
Over and out.
Why am I reminded of all the times the police dash-cams suddenly “don’t work”?
Ques.: Who got a million dollars for a plane delivering 6 suitcase bombs.
Travelers who have to fly foreign carriers should have all their affairs in order. They are really risking their lives.
How conveeeeeeeenient.
No debris in the ocean, questionable pilots, now the batteries are bad...something is rotten in Denmark.
For all we know they have already expired.
Time to call BS on this entire thing. As if it would take them this long to make that known!
Chinese ship reports its hearing pings and its not their relatives calling by phone.
If I were an international business owner, NO WAY would I put any of my employees on any Malaysian flight. EVER.
Yeh...but they’re now saying they’re picking up a ping....but absolutely no sign of debris. They all know the currents...so if they get a ping, they could calc the path of the debris.
Yet supposedly the Chinese have been hearing “Pings” From underwater so what are we supposed to believe
The story contradicts the headline.
The batteries were due for replacement in June, BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE.
The aircraft disappeared in March, LONG BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE.
The headline should be changed, or the thread pulled.
The level of ignorance, stupidity and cluelessness in reporting information about the disappearance of and search for Flight MH370 is breathtaking.
There seems to be no understanding of the laws, rules, regulations and constant maintenance requirements international airlines are subject to.
Most motorists (99.999%) do NOT keep a detailed record of the maintenance of their vehicles. And there is no penalty attached for failure to do so. Yes even bad or failing brakes.
On the other hand, most airlines (99.999%) keep a detailed and complete record of every part replaced, and every maintenance check and process required by regulations and airworthiness directives. It is a constant, ongoing process. The penalties for failure to comply are swift, certain and severe. Often in the millions$.
Granted, there are State Airlines run by corrupt governments which cut corners and consider critical requirements as merely suggestions.
Hard to think that Malaysia might be one of those. But if it is, the fallout, from the international Airline Community and the flying public can (and should) result in severe financial penalties and even bankruptcy.
Who actually believes that airlines are not required to fuel aircraft only when they run out of gas?
Or to replace tires before they blow?
Or to replace emergency items like batteries before they expire?
So, what idiot would write a first sentence like that?
Pilot and co pilot were members of the bearded savage cult. That tells us all we need to know.
Terrific! Brain of Malaysian Airlines CEO Has Expired, Not Due to Be Replaced Anytime Soon
Which means that they still have a lot of juice left in them -- for this search anyway.
