UPS Airbus down in Birmingham

[WSurf]

Sadly true. For the record, I am not saying that is what happened. I have just flown in and out of there many times and noticed that.

Yeah I know.... But usually during the landing phase that close to the airport about 95% of the time its going to end up Pilot Error.

Agreed, but I am trying to be respectful and let the investigators decide that.

Also like you.... Not sure what a female crew member has to do with anything.

About 10 years ago I went into a airport that gave conflicting info from the ILS and the VASI. ILS Showed us on GS.. VASI showed us High.... Lets just say thank god there was morning light and that the ILS was working.
We reported it too tower and plane behind us confirmed it.... VASI was OTS for a few weeks after. You just never know.....

And they won't start shooting webs of stupid about it being a female pilot either.

And I am sure the wouldnt say "who cares" either.I never implied that being female would be a cause of any accident,you did.

Never seen sex of the crew as part of an SMS checklist. Very unprofessional post.

Nothing was ever said that it was a cause.Just that it was a female on the radio.If it was ,that would usually mean she wasnt the pilot flying. You guys are looking for a fight.calm down already.We are all just taxi and bus drivers here.

I could be wrong, but I suspect you guys may be misinterpreting his post. Crew hasn't been identified to the public yet. He may just be pointing out gender as a step towards identification as opposed to abilities. Or just noticing. Overall, there are far fewer female pilots. Again, I could be wrong.

Would you have posted the link if it was a male voice? Very much implied.

Both pilots are qualified.... There's two pilots up there. Both responsible for the plane.

But I understand you were just making a point. My bad!

Anyone know of Notams on that runway.... VASI, ILS????

LOC was NOTAM'ed OTS after the crash.

Yes, i would have.I actually think females are better pilots than males.It doesnt take muscles to fly these things nowadays.

Sharon Wilson, who lives near the airport, said she was in bed before dawn when she heard what sounded like engines sputtering as the plane went over her house.
"It sounded like an airplane had given out of fuel. We thought it was trying to make it to the airport. But a few minutes later we heard a loud 'boom,'" she said.

That's pretty common, in my experience.
