    "It must have been an exciting time on that flight deck," Barr said drily. "It's not something you'd ever want to try again."Well, that would be something for a real good A380 simulation by let's say FeelThere. Not that other team which made the A380 for Wilco! Would they be able to programm such a indeep system that could simulate such a heavy failure situation? I suppose PMDG could do that!

    RR has a real deal to get done now. Their public face got a major setback and sure it's not a Airbus problem. Well, I'm sure airbus will check every engine more intense then befor, befor they role out any new A380 with RR engines!

    Ok, your partly right. The A350 has not jet been in testing. First flight in 2012.Parts are in the pipeline already and are getting build right now.But look, B787 get delays, even the B74-8 will have problems.Boeing was hoping to get the 74-8 operating already befor the A380 is in service ... well....What I see is that the A380 transferes ca. 525 pax, the B747-8 only 467 in standart config. What I cannot understand is why boeing did not develope a totaly new airplane like Airbus did. Just enhance an existing one , using very many of the same parts as in the 747-4 versions is not that innovative. Only with the 787 boeing developed a totaly new one. I wonder why not as well for such a big bird?

    Huh?:( Both planes have flown before and are both undergoing flight testing, so I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're trying to say when you say "boeing has neither airborne of their new 747-8 and 787." Unless you meant in terms of airline service, but in any case, has the A350 even been built yet?

    I care. I care if I buy a ticket from an airline those aircrafts tend to fall off the sky. I care if the ground crew is able to handle realy stressful situations without panic and chaos, I care about that the pilots are well educated and trained. I dont need food while flying, I can eat befor the flight and after. only when I fly real long trips over 4 hours, I need some food. Just need to dring water why flying. That should not be extremly expensive. I can forget about beer, juice, etc. Just pure water!If I need more and have the money, I'll buy a business or first class ticket!So, there is a limit for quality and service. The costs cannot getting cut off too low!

    big grin ... Airbis A380 is already flying and still boeing has neither airborn of there new B747-8 and 787. Maybe even airbus will airborn their next A350 befor any of the new boings are airborn by any airline.

    I just dont get it! They do changing shifts, they often have no time for their children, getting radiation of being so high in the air, more than when you have 4 x-ray scans in a month (would not be allowed to enter a nuke plant)They have to be friendly to the customers no matter how they feel of how they get treated by the customers... and still they get paid so lousy! There are 4 points of how an airline keeps a good public face: 1. Aircrafts are optimal maintained, so they are not getting any artikels at the news (crashes), 2. the pilots make a good job flying 3. the crew onboard is always friendly and handels educated and professional every critical situation and 4. the ground crew does a competent job about managing the customers needs no matter how critical a situation gets.What this Compass company does is anything but not optimal PR - this way they will loose customers and orders and cutoff of flights etc. There is not so much what airlines can do in order to cut costs. The fuel has its price, the pilots will chance company if they get paid too low, the maintenance must keep a certain level in order to be able to airborn there a/cs without crashes and keep up the live span. And if the costs of the groudd crew gets too low, they wil only hire those who are low educated and cannot handle stress situations (PC/network crashes or bad weather) and as well all crew would be low motivated doing a good job. There is a lowest level no airline can go lower in all quality matters!

    This is sheer stupidity on Compass's part. They fired her for giving the company bad publicity, and in doing so, the airline turned more bad publicity on itself.

    ok, so Ive to upgrade to X4 or even X6. What I aint get is, why MS FSX came out at a time when there was no such powerfull CPU to buy that could run FSX as the latest CPUs today.

    To be honest i had an AMD 64 x2 6000 3Gb clocked to 3.1, Biostar NF-520 A2 TE Board, 6 Gb ram, 8800gt card W/D 500Gb H/drive but what i did do was aquire Ultimate defrag 2008 and consolidated my harddrive putting fs9 to the outer edges and applied the most common FS9 cfg tweaks plus browsed for other performance tweaks and FS9 ran smooth even with lets say FSdreamteams Chicargo O'Hare addon which is one of the more demanding ones. To be honest it even ran FSX Quiet smooth if i was flying Aerosims f-16 or the FA-18 and BAE Hawks but not the more demanding ones like PMDG's Jetstream 41. I had to change to XP 64 bit because i think that XP 32 bit does not make use of more than 4GB ram. I think you really need to use quad cores for FSX as it is THE most demanding game for processing power, I steered clear of it until now but i want a system that i know is capable of playing it so i can enjoy it, When it first came out i bought it and swiftly returned it after i got home and ended up watching a slide show i the desert lol....Jamie....

    why ABC News reporter are allowed to tell such a crap?!?? I know, many do not know better. But some can think about it - a jumbo approaches with a speed of around 200 to 140 knots. Just a short conversion on the internet and we got 230mh to 161mph or 370km/h to 259km/h. NO one would stick his head out of any windows at that speed!!! No one would keep the head - it would get ripped off!Sure they got located and guided by tower and got to the ILS using autoland which is supported with the B747-200 already. But how did they got over the mountains to the airport??? They did not have a moving map GPS back then.

    yea right, the so called professionals! On History Channel or National Geographic or N24, these latest news docus are spammed with profs from unknown US colleges and universities. Not MIT, Oxford, or just scientist from island and sweden/norway. Unknown if they realy know thear stuff! Often some whom not even have a name and are talking bull shut! Indeed the BBC news are the better onces, so I stuck with them. The german news channels are way off. National Geof is not sooo bad at all but have only docus and not news.

    yea right, ought to take pictures from empty roads of the airport and surrounding area! Something for telling stories to your kids later...!And just for fun, go to dover and take pictures of the flogs of travelers leaving the ferries and trains...!On sunday my wife asked me if we could visit EDDH - I was ROFL, asking her what she wanna photograph there... emptyness, the returning echo crashing you? Filled up parking lots and gateways? Well, we should have done that, just for telling our kids in 20 years what chaos that was! :( :(

    A funny thought crossed my mind... what if it is about a virus spreading? Spreading and is so bad and dangerous, all airports have to be closed, so it cannot go this fast from country to country? I mean, there seems to be this ash cloud - but very little sign about a real danger. Why not allow the airlines to fly below a certain FL, so the A/Cs are in little as possible danger from the ash? Ok, not as many planes as usualy could fly, but still some could and transport passengers. Yes, it would be a little more expensive to fly so low, but better fly low than not flying at all!

    what a hype! Dont know if this ash realy as any effect on the engines and sensores. But that can be analyzed by probeing aircrafts flying the typical flightlevels of airliners to check that out. Sure, it's a safety action grounding all a/c traffic, but if there is almost none safety issue after analysing the probes, the normal bussiness should start again.I guess the ash cloud density just around island and northern UK and sweden is too thick but elsewhere the density has changed to an safe level for normal operations.Just my thoughts.

    ok then, 80% of europe is grounded, right?! Still Local Asia flights are unaffected and of couse all of USA und America is unaffected. Still, every connection between europe with asia and USA/South america is down. That will go on and on, as long as the vulcano is so heavyly active - could go on for years!That will bring down economy in Europe, especialy in Germany very much!

    Ten to eleven tells you that a passing A/C is crossing your path from 10 o clock in an angle towards 11 o clock. So your A/C nose is 12 o clock and you are looking left side, you're watching the AC comming slowly near your path. Would be a different scene if ATC would call you tellling AC <sign> 9 to 1 o clock. That would tell you that this other ac will be passing your path very soon.

    Hmmm... I suppose (guess?) that would depend on which side you come from. There's at least one radio presenter on UK national radio who says 'ten before eleven'. Being Welsh, I have difficulty with words of more that one syllable but 'ten before...' seems to make more sense so I think it's just natural British perversity that makes us use the same expression for both contexts. Makes looking for other aircraft more fun too!D
