@davie109 @MediaSOI They sat out WW2 scummy manky bastards. Your grandfathers from tattiesville shat their pants. You've got fuck all to be proud of.

@Wakefield90 @TestAdvertiser They are so far up the Labour party's arse and they fund them massively. It shouldn't be news to you Labour and their supporters are hated. That includes the champagne socialists in the entire TUC!

@ClarkeMicah @OliverKamm We all miss him! Lovely pictures sir

@farmingandJesus His head was probably bowed eyes closed in prayer. He was experienced and most likely knew the game was up!

The precedent has already been set across numerous Train Operating Companies, ScotRail in particular. Whether the unions like it or not, Driver Only Operation (DOO) on EMUs will eventually become increasingly normalised.

Industrial action may delay that transition, but it won’t necessarily prevent it. Publicly owned operators have considerably greater institutional resources and, if necessary, the financial capacity to defend their position through the courts.

ASLEF may be able to resist operational changes in the short term, but the longer-term direction of travel is difficult to ignore.

Frankly, AI represents a far greater long-term challenge to the profession than DOO ever will. The irony is that the industry may find itself debating the regulation of AI while the technology itself continues to advance. ASLEF may ultimately be fighting to preserve a role that technological progress is already beginning to reshape.

You can delay change, but you cannot indefinitely legislate against technological progress.

@BasilTheGreat They have now been flown first class to Heathrow.

@DanielOConnel18 @Lovecangive1 Thsts why they all stay third world even with the money the gullible whites give them. Since they hate us so much let Darwin take care of them!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

@Autopilotuser @dbleitzsey @dvigilrpg Sadly seniority and pensions trap too many and they just acquiesce to the company position. Many of the major airlines are similar. Nice to hear Russian carriers are giving aircrew more handling freedom and not just waiting for George to fuck it up.

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

@Autopilotuser @dbleitzsey @dvigilrpg To a certain degree. Company SOP's are normally non negotiable. Tui for example aren't allowed to de-couple the AT's on a stabilised approach. You'll be summoned by the CP to explain. That's ridiculous!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

@Autopilotuser @dbleitzsey @dvigilrpg The company's want FMS operators.

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

Sometimes these changes can take a generation. My fear is that with the heavy reliance on automation and mandated use of AT's and AP for all bar a few approaches is problematic. Most losses are still in the departure/landing phase and the sim training reflects this. Degraded automation scenarios are more beneficial and manually flying VMC approaches should be much more of a regular thing. It's not and the chief pilots are powerless against the bean counters!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

@Autopilotuser @dbleitzsey @dvigilrpg Absolutely, crew gradient is a phenomenon and it takes a very assertive junior FO to call out a senior and respected Commander when a dubious action has been decided! It's not as big a problem in Europe as it is in Asia and the Middle East!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

I think initially they were FL410 so most likely clear of the destructive convective stuff but not sure why the ended up back at FL370 then lower. This will be a very interesting accident to read in about a years time and no doubt used on CRM courses and SIm checks for years to come!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

I think they were riding initially at cell tops they maybe seen what WX below on the normal arc of view but as they weren't intending to descend maybe thought they were clear until they were forced down into it. I haven't looked at the weather trace and dimensions of the cell etc to draw any or much conclusions. One thing is certain it's highly unlikely an intended scenario to descend into an active cell! The PM certainly was looking for options before a sudden and catastrophic change of events!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

Absolutely! They had icing issues contributing to erroneous raw data but they hadn't lost aerodynamic integrity of the flying surfaces. They just applied the wrong correction and stalled all the way down until they got to a point of realisation and irrecoverable altitude. For all the so called experts they should read that entire accident report it will explain precisely what CB's can do. Difference with AF447 is that it hadn't lost the ability to produce lift and ultimately fly. I bet this Lear Jet lost all ability and was in a mach tuck!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

Exactly that! Similiar conditions brought down a very competent crew in a very much more sophisticated airframe in the disaster of AF447. The perception and temperature readout really hit me when the poor soul was communicating that to ATC! You could hear her voice and she most likely knew it was game over!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

That’s not strictly true. Freezing rain is a meteorological phenomenon, and in aviation we refer to the droplets as supercooled water droplets. When they come into contact with an aircraft’s flying surfaces, they freeze almost immediately, often forming clear ice.

If the female pilot was correct when she stated that she had encountered precipitation with an outside air temperature of -47°C, that’s an absolute nightmare scenario! The de-ice capacity could quickly be overwhelmed and the changing shape of the flying surfaces lead to aerodynamic disturbances and eventual loss of control with practically zero chance of recovery!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

@janforindy2 @UKbetterdays @LeftySeparatist @TRobinsonNewEra Ooooo I knew that would get you! "Drummer Lee Rigby you won't be fucking drumming anymore oh oh" then their world came crashing down!
Absolutely magnificent.
Smash, bang, wallop, Paddystinian blood still soaks the pavements of Loughgall and Sunderland!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

Which part of what I said constitutes bigotry? Defending a nation’s history, culture and identity isn’t the same as hating anyone else. And invoking the Second World War doesn’t automatically make your argument correct.

Britain stood on the shoulders of giants because generations built, sacrificed and fought for this country, contributing enormously to science, industry, medicine, engineering and civilisation itself. Do you believe we are advancing or regressing? Why do we have to abandon our heritage and culture when no other nation apart from weak European nations do this.
Does Japan, China, Malaysia, India, and the entire Middke East abandon their culture or do they protect at all costs! We are subverting our entire culture and if you believe it's for the better then you're not well travelled!

[James Carson @CarsonJim1967]

Absolutely not the case! I am merely observing the funeral of this once great nation. The nation that gave so much to humanity and civilisation! We have regressed to such a position of weakness it's almost unbelievable! We once stood on the shoulders of giants now we have acquiesced to a position of weakness!
