@StarsRebornVT Like how you can commission someone for art, I'm sure there are people you can hire for moderation. I don't know much about that, and honestly wouldn't recommend it as regulars are more reliable.

@bjoernevert @aviationbrk what the- Where'd that come from? That's extremely excessive.

@BellaBaddie__ where's my 100 grand?

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@aviationbrk I regret jumping onto twitter. So many uneducated takes and people jumping to conclusions.
there are a lot of factors that could've played a role in this, such as pilot attention, visibility of the chute, visibility from the aircraft, flight plans, airspace etc.

@coah80 Hamachi was like the only option 13 years ago

@ceroribi I use startpage primarily, but sometimes have to switch back to google. It's unfortunate, but the other engines just don't do all that well.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@aviationbrk There's potentially a fire on board, and people STILL went to grab their bags? I swear, something has to be done against this behavior!

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@aviationbrk And that is why the RTO tests are performed for certification - they're meant to survive being overheated/on fire for a few minutes until ARFF arrives.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@techtacho @aviationbrk and why would that be the airline's fault?

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@RaleighRebels2k @aviationbrk yes, and bringing carry-ons is dangerous as it slows down evacuation, and might damage equipment. During safety briefings you're ordered to leave everything behind.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@alleymeows @tmz_tom @YeetToOrbit @aviationbrk yes, but it's still a fact that evacuations are dangerous and pros and cons have to be weighed. They're only performed once it's deemed worth taking the risk in the name of safety.
You can ask commercial pilots about the decision and risks of issuing an evac order.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@flying_steve Sounds logical, but when you're in a stressful situation, doesn't always click, and you could start to speak rapidly without following proper comms. Would probably have to be drilled during training so it's second nature, can be done without thinking.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@alleymeows @tmz_tom @YeetToOrbit @aviationbrk evacuations are dangerous, they aren't just done on a whim. If stairs aren't available, and it's not urgent, you'll remain on board. Risk of injury is high when you issue an evac order, and is only done in emergencies.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@alleymeows @tmz_tom @YeetToOrbit @aviationbrk if that's the case, then fine. But I find that doubtful as an evacuation is only done in an actual emergency, as it's quite dangerous to do. if it were safe, they'd likely deplane normally instead of evacuating.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@YeetToOrbit @aviationbrk you're the one disregarding their instructions to leave everything behind though.
Yes, it's unfair that compensation doesn't fully cover expensive items, but my point still stands - that this is still a problem.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@tmz_tom @YeetToOrbit @aviationbrk In this case, yes. But I'm not willing to wait for a scenario where this actually does cause people to die, and only then action gets taken. The rules in aviation are written in enough blood, there's no need to wait for people to die before changes are enacted.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@szczur_wodny_ @YeetToOrbit @aviationbrk I know, I'm talking about in general.
Even then, that's all the more reason to leave your stuff behind, as there's no risk of it being destroyed in that case, no? I'm of the opinion "better safe than sorry", you never know what might happen.

[FreSch Dude @FreSch_Dude]

@YeetToOrbit @aviationbrk I'd like to see you explain that to the families of people who perish in crashes because your 6 grand laptop was more important than their relative's lives...
I agree that compensation in case of accident is very limited, doesn't mean you get to be selfish.
