Aerobatics in a 777?

[SiuDude]

Six people were hurt when a Speedbird 777 had to respond to a TCAS RA:

Sounds like a run-of-the-mill R.A. to me. Where do you get the "aerobatics" part?

'run-of-the-mill R.A.'? Yikes I'd hate to be on your plane for an RA.

I have responded to a few RAs and I have never injured pax to do so. TCAS is designed to provide enough warning to that normal maneuvers are enough to provide separation. You don't need to go 'zero-g' or put anyone into bins.

I never understood the need for flight attendants to begin service so quickly. They are on a 747 going across the atlantic, so just sit down (FAs included)and wait until your initial cruising altitude. I just think FAs are in a hurry to finish their service.

When is the last time you got a corrective RA at cruise.

He must have shoved it over pretty hard to result in 4 minor injuries.

I know of a Legacy and a 737 that got ra's at 370.

No, they didn't.

Not what I read but I am sure you are correct.

Apparently a 777 is no match for a 707.

F/A's get up early into the flight and begin service so they can finish sooner and go on their breaks. They get pissed when you ask them to delay service 30 minutes because of weather; they need their beauty sleep. :laugh:

It's a widely known and accepted aviation truth that any aircraft can execute any maneuver, no matter how aerobatic or extreme.

Nothing like going on the dream vacation only to end up with little Johnny pinned to the ceiling because the Pilot had to over-react to an R.A.
