B747 down in South America?

[avbug]

I think these guys did a awesome job. I was just saying the possibility of sabatoge is extremely high.

Why?

Shouldn't 74 fly on two engines at 9000-10000 thousand feet even at gross?

It should?

What kind of bullshi_ maintenance existed that the same plane could lose three engines ?

Quite an assumption. But then, what do you know?

 

[Draginass]

1. Regardless of circumstance, it sounds like the crew did a superb job of making the best of a very very bad situation.

2. They were still slow when the engines started failing. At best you might be able to control your descent rate.

3. Let's wait for the report to point fingers. You can bet they're looking at maintenance, as well as fuel quality, etc.

 

[FBN0223]

Sounds like bad fuel or a huge flocks of birds. Who knows. I hope the crew is doing better, especially JK. Best of luck guys.

 

[Draginass]

Any update or determination yet as to what caused the engines to fail?

 

[avbug]

No. There isn't.

 

[countbat]

Pprune says Kalitta had another plane with engine failure from the same airport. Any truth to that?

You're reviewing old news.

You tend to make up your own "truth" anyway...usually with prejudice...so why don't you drum up something to spew again, and simply say it?

Handbags at 50 paces?

You guys never miss an opportunity to argue.


(Hi Avbug! How ya been? The IFR Monkey is almost out of office. We'll have to come up with something for Obama-lama-ding dong soon. )

 

[countbat]

I get it. You Kalitta guys are strong here, special your venomus BS. Somehow, if your Master, Connie keeps conning the law, not all of you can do the same. Some day the Law will catch up with you. And if not the Law, life has lately showed you some signs. You should learn out of it.

 

[avbug]

Master? Again, you post nothing but assumptions.

You also make strong accusations regarding what you know not.

If you have specific knowledge, instead of wild, unfounded speculation and lies, then by all means post it.

Your credibility meter is presently at zero. You surely can't do any worse.

avbug,
Just ignore countbat! All it is, is a rabble rouser. Stop feeding the poor thing and maybe it will retire to the bedroom and get the keyboard sticky there, and render its outlet unusable. The world would be relieved!

 

[avbug]

Ordinarily, one uses a fly swatter for this sort of thing.

Amen! Let it go die in a corner.

Just so long as it is not a Q or and R. We need all the good ones we can get.
