I'm more worried about what if the equipment on the runway were not cleared in time for the emergency landing.

Why do you think they ask people to stay seated and buckled up until the aircraft has reached a full stop at the jetway?

Not entirely. My father has been an airline pilot for around 24 years now, and he's never had a quality control issue with a Boeing (I know it kind of depends on the airline, but still). The first and last Airbus I flew on had a flap that was about to fall off and some hydraulic pump somewhere under our feet was making a ton of noise as we were taxiing, as if something was jammed. After about 5 minutes it came to an end. Overall it felt like they half-assed the thing. I know other Airbuses are probably as safe as can be, but you can't make a 2nd first impression

All in all... I'd like to think that the global aerospace industry has weathered the downturn and is coming on strong. With the number of backlogs both EADS companies and The Boeing Company hold... I don't think either is worried about losing a "war". Safe travels, all! |

On topic post... Yeah, that CRJ got moved. I couldn't imagine what it felt like onboard.
This was the talk of the town at AviationWeek's MRO Americas conference in South Beach last week. |
