US Airways FLT 2022 "Crew Sickness"

["TheBigPicture"]

FLT landed in BOS with all five crew reporting "sickness." I believe it was coming from BWI....anybody got details???

They are pretty terrible. I just heard them reporting that the flight was US Airways but they borrowed the plane from Star Alliance. They then reported that several airlines share these airplanes as spares. I guess they don't know about marketing. I know, I know they aren't in the business, but that was just stupid. I wonder if they think that the Philadelphia Eagles plane is being borrowed by USAir also.

And just think, the only reason we bust them on aviation news is because we know it intimately. Just imagine if they jack up every story they do as much as an aviation story. And who knows that they don't? Do you understand most news topics as well as you do aviation?

I've heard people say that the traveling public loses 50 IQ points as soon as they set foot on airport property. Some days its hard to argue with that. But one thing is not debatable: reporters find the IQ equivalent of absolute zero each and every time they report about anything aviation related.

It goes beyond irresponsibile and lazy reporting. Even intentional negligence doesn't explain their absolute perfect record of never getting anything right, ever, with Swiss watch consistency. I mean good Lord even Tiger Woods makes a mistake once in a while, but not these yahoos. They get it wrong every single time they attempt it.

Actually it would make an awesome drinking game, anytime an aviation story is on the news, gather your buddies and take a shot every time someone catches them getting something completely wrong. Nah, I don't like to get drunk that fast. :laugh:

I think more interesting is the fact that this is the second time in a month that this has happened. Couple of weeks ago it happened on DEN to CLT flight. It was also an Airbus which is what appears to have been the case this time. Would like to know if it might be same tail number as that incident. Of course, like it has been said you can't determine what really happened if you are only watching the news reports.

It was also an Airbus

Ahhhh wee wee....the french make me sick too...

As you can see with my profile, I am in no position to make an Airbus/Boeing is better argument. My point was the fact that it may relate to the specific aircraft. Thus the tail number question. Kind of like all the recent cruise ship ailments. I do no from experience that the US Airways fleet is pretty filthy.
