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.
