737 crash in China (Page 1/8) olejoedad MAR 21, 08:27 AM I hope hudini is ok. 82-T/A [At Work] MAR 21, 09:28 AM quote Originally posted by olejoedad: I hope hudini is ok. Yeah, my thought as well. I'm sure he's probably ok, but I am quite sure he's probably dealing with this... williegoat MAR 21, 10:24 AM Is that his airline? It was a Chinese domestic flight, does he do those? maryjane MAR 21, 10:24 AM I thought hudini was strictly flying airbus? olejoedad MAR 21, 12:24 PM I didn't read the article, just saw the headline and immediately thought of our Far East pilot member. maryjane MAR 21, 12:50 PM quote Originally posted by williegoat: Is that his airline? It was a Chinese domestic flight, does he do those? I don't know that he has ever specifically stated who he works for, but he does fly both within China and the surrounding countries. He's certainly flown over Vietnam and evidently his home-away-from-home is Shanghai China. I emailed him and asked him to check in here.

I am currently locked down in my apartment complex with everyone else getting covid tested. Hudini MAR 21, 05:11 PM There is a ton of speculation currently about the crash. The video I've seen shows an aircraft coming out of the clouds in a vertical dive. There is no official word from my company yet. I hope it's not what I and others have been complaining about. That is the lack of actual flying skills. We are taught to always use the autopilot. Now when the aircraft is so broken the autopilot doesn't work then you better have the skills needed. Most do not. We shall see. This was a Boeing 737-800 I believe. With everything going on don't be surprised if China pivots to Airbus even more. Plus they have an airplane under development here to rival both the 737 and A320, called the C-919. It's a mix between the two previous aircraft.
