Its with great sadness we learned of yesterdays terrible accident in Florida.

@SirDogTurd I think you know what I meant - people screaming DEI before knowing any facts, just based on the gender and age of one of the pilots.
Note how quiet those same voices became when it turned out that the captain was a 55 year old male.
X is the only place allowing that BS
@id_2346 We always make videos when major incidents occur. But we donβt speculate on what happened in the particular event until we have official confirmation.
What we do is explain what is known, what factors are surrounding the event (weather, icing, aerodynamic factors) etc.
@HeavyJetPilot@Ale_Savina If you would actually watching what we put out, you would know that this isnβt true.
Ben and I did a podcast, trying to reassure nervous flyers who had already reached out. By explaining facts about things like icing, turbulence and other factors involved in the reporting.
On October 20, 2026, the FAA approved the 737 MAX 10 for airline service, ending one of the longest certification campaigns in Boeingβs history. But, is it too late? Are Boeing's problems just beginning?

How do you grow an airport with no room left to expand? Some of the busiest airports in the world, like LaGuardia and Heathrow, are already dealing with exactly this problem.
So what will they do? Let's find out π

@Fahadnaimb There is absolutely a way to get the emergency lights to illuminate without shutting the engines.
But combined with the IFE system, a sudden reported pressure-drop and the fact that the switches are βarmedβ as default in flight, points in one direction.
We shall wait and seeβ¦
