Kinda a strange accident looking at the brief and the aircraft did not come apart apparently. Anybody know?

Thanks

Don't try to put fear in the future pups bro!!!!!

It's not fair to gossip about someone who can't defend themself. If the company sucks, tell us! This pilot fatally suffer for something that this pilot loved and enjoyed regardless of what we think because this Dawg had a choice. That's the way many of us feel. Our jobs can be dangerous at times and some of the pay might infact be cheap, but it's home!!!! 2004 is 2004. Ease up.
This is one of the codes of the FREIGHT DAWGS.

I think your missing the point of my post. I have no problems with flight express. For the amount of time they fly they have had VERY FEW accidents. (fatal) The ones they have had 1 a vacuum pump and other fuel starvation have been pilot error not the companies fault. I just would like to know what happened if anybody on the inside knows?

What are you smoking? What the heck does this have to do with me asking about the flight express accident?

I vaguely remember hearing about this in training. Speculation (and that's all it was) seemed to center around pilot incapacitation (eg. passed out, blinded, etc). I'm not sure that the speculation was any more informed than anyone else's speculation would be, though.

Agreed.....his first response was pretty ignorant too.....Rally wasn't trying "put any fear into you 'pups'".....FLX is a great company...I didn't spend much time there but they treated me well the entire time

Was he a older person or a young guy? Kind of a unfortuante situation.

 

[Boris Badenov]

I think he was a younger guy, ex-serviceman.

Seems so wierd from the report its as if he just kept descending (quickly at one point) similar headings etc. Younger guys normally just don't pass out either. Maybe he fell asleep or something.

Friend of mine who flew for FLX before I got there and knew the guy personally said the wreckage was upside down when found.....there were a couple of other details that were strange/didn't seem to make sense....I need to call my friend though to see if I remember what he told me correctly

This is what I had in mind too, as I read the report, but no determination by the NTSB.

Could this be some form of hyperventilation which led to him passing out?

Although if he was level at 2000 and he passed out some of those radar returns where like 6000 fpm (1600 to 1100 ft in 5 secs) from what I measured. A trimed airplane probably would'nt do that unless he slumped into the column. (nor would the aircraft be inverted) Strange this is the type of stuff that spooks me.

Very cool VID, goes well with the song, just needs a few FA's stripping on there. I bet I have flown that CA tail number 1900. Looks like that might have been in White Stains.

Board php screwing up I take it?
