Whose the resident birdstrike expert here?

The odds of a flock shutting down both engines is almost astronomical.

There goes my spider sense again...

6:05pm, and everyone has issued some sort of press release regarding this accident... except ALPA.

I understand the US Airways guys gave ALPA the finger and formed their own in house union, but in spirit of air safety and investigations, the least ALPA could have done is issued a press release that would express prayers and thoughts with crew and pax involved in this crash. Guess they have to be a due-collecting airline to get that sort of treatment.

This is what ALPA did for Continental: http://www.alpa.org/DesktopModules/...iew.aspx?itemid=17382&ModuleId=12567&Tabid=73


All they had to do was something very similar for US Airways, just in spirit of air safety and investigation. They don't have to help or investigate, but just a little sympathy of prayers with flight crew and passengesr would have sufficed.

Go ALPA!
