Comair FO awakens

[kngarthur]

How could it not be god's will that it happened??

According to you believers, isn't everything that happens God's will? Isn't he some completely omniscient, all powerful being??

This is one thing that has always made me laugh. God knows everything and has the power to control everything, yet people always talk about God's "anger" at the way the world goes.

Well, it would seem to me that if God knows EVERYTHING and has power over EVERYTHING as you people claim, that means he knew that the holocaust was going to happen, he knew 9/11 was going to happen, he knew Comair 5191 was going to happen, yet he decided to let it happen??

What sort of sick twisted cruel uncaring and nasty being would allow such a thing? And then people who claim God is omniscient also manage to say he LOVES us in the same breath!!!!!!?????? (see above paragraph).

There are alot of things in this world I can't explain but the idea that there is some cosmic supreme being??? COME ONN!!!!!! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE PEOPLE?? It doesn't make any sense.........

You'd think that in this day and age with all the technology that's come out and with all sorts of advances in medical sciences and physics and everything that this fanciful fairytale would have been put to bed a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time ago.

Reality is that believing in a supreme being belongs to a time and place when we didn't have the understanding of things the way we do now.

There was a time when people did not have the technology or the knowledge of viruses and bacteria so they assumed when people became sick and died it was a simple case of God's will, or they were evil people.

There was a time when people would look up at the sky and marvel at the stars and the moon and see them as magical pieces of creation and have no way to explain them other than they're God's handywork. But we know better now. As an earlier poster said before, it's absolutely astounding that intelligent people still believe in this crap.

I know people have strong views contrary to mine, but I can't quite understand why... Do you people believe in the tooth fairy and the easter bunny too?? Come on now

Why did the FO blame GOD?

15 Minute of Fame for the family members...

It always amazes me how quickly family member jump at the chance to be seen/heard on tv/radio.

What the pilot is saying right now should be strictly private and should remain between the family members...but no, the family has to let it out...this guy mostly likely can't even think straight and his mother is leting the world know what he's saying.

Unbelievable.

May he recovers fully!

To the family, allow him to make his own statement to the media. I don't need to hear every word he says to you in private.

...maybe he was spared to become and advocate for reformed rest rules and scheduling policies...I like to think that everything, good or bad, happens for a reason.

TheRaven--Relax. How much rest do you want to give him. He deadheaded in the day before.

Lets look at the reasons this happened...Only 1 controller, too little rest, outdated 10-9 charts without current notam'd closures-NO that is not the main cause of this.

Every pilot makes mistakes but some mistakes you cannot make, and sadly this is one of them. Lets call a spade a spade here. Scheduling is not the problem here!

Agree!

I was in a car crash when I was in high school. head on @70 with no seat belt. Only visible injuries were all the stiches in my head, but my entire body came to a sudden stop against the dash. The nurses would wake me up every hour and ask me who I was, etc. It was hell, I didn't know what pain and suffering was until then. If there had been something to unplug to end it I would have pulled it. I prayed many times during the next few days for God to end it-and I didn't believe in God. Same question as to why God let this happen.

I was just banged up, this guy is totally busted up, I can't imagine how much physical pain this guy is in. Morphine dulls it, but can only do so much-this guy has got to be at a level most of us can't imagine. So, if he says a few things that sound weird to you, take a min. and think about it-I'm not even figuring in the who mental aspect....

Nicely said!

 

[FlyBunny]

There is a God, as said before

Your opinion....

Not to go in a tangent, which I am, but how do you know there's 'GOD'?
So, if it's said, then there's GOG, right?

 

[FlyBunny]

All i can say is god bless you and people like me are here to pray for people like you. You still have time to at least try and understand instead of thinking you are smarter than everyone else. What if you are wrong? That sure is the wrong thing to be wrong about if you know what i mean. I used to be skeptical myself, ever since i put my life into christ and the church my life has totally changed. Good luck

I don't think the post you're referring to implied that he/she is smarter than anyone else...just the 'opinion'.

Ever thought about what if 'YOU ARE WRONG'?
Why do those who believe in god believe that the ones who don't believe are 'wrong'?

How can you people sit there with a straight face and say that some INVISIBLE FORCE created the universe and everything within it? It's a complete cop-out.

How can you sit there and look around at the world and believe that this was all just one big cosmic accident? For as long as I'll live, I'll never understand that sort of thinking. A big bang? That came from where? Where did the original matter come from? Sorry, but science has not answers for these questions and never will. God does.

Circadian rythms have been proven to have a drastic affect on pilots.

Are you arguing that circadian rhythms have an affect on fatigue or that the Comair pilots were fatigued? This seems to have descended into a disagreement about whether there is fatigue in the airline industry, and I'm not sure how I got on the wrong side of that discussion.

Originally I thought the question was were the Comair pilots at LEX suffering from fatigue - and it's obvious to any observer that they were not.

To Mr. Polehinke, a full and speedy recovery.

To all of you God and Bible chatters, different religions and groups pray to different gods. Some carry a bible to church. Others might just read their bible in bed. I however, choose Hooters as my place of worship. Hotwings and a cold beer and a couple of goodlooking goddesses running around.

You have no clue what fatigue is or what causes it. Please, give it a rest already.

I dont believe I am wrong. But lets pretend for a second I could be. Follow me here:

If i was wrong at the end of my life I die in peace and nothing happens. But lets say a nonbeliever is wrong, what becomes of that person?

I know where i stand in all of this. Carry on.

 

[The_Russian]

what becomes of that person?

What becomes of you, believer? You can't answer that, can you? I respect your religious path. However, you can never know if one is wrong or right about such things. The human mind cannot fathom existence at this time in history.

Well, if you chose wrong, the God you should have been praying to might be spiteful and send you to a hot place for eternity.Kind of like you are implying might happen to many of us.

I go with my wife to her Catholic Church. A couple of things there make me laugh.

First. When they pass the bucket for money, they take MY money regardless if I am Catholic or not. But one time, some how, I got in the line for "crackers and punch". I obviously didnt know the "seceret hand shake", and was told I couldnt get my crackers. They didnt have a problem taking my money though.

Second. The church we go to has a terrible parking problem. So during the service, they do the "peace be with you" and shake hands with everyone as if they care about each other. Then after church they go in the parking lot and honk horns and yell at each other.


Mr. Polehinke, we are thinking about you. Get well soon.

I know right! Makes about as much sense as a 2000 year old carpenter being the son of God. Or a 6000 year old planet earth!

Would you believe that there is actually a church group meeting at a Hooters in Cincinnati?

No Joke.
