Why would Allegiant Post A Job for Airbus Fleet Manager? Mistake?

Unless that is of course if it does not like what you are doing or thinks what you are doing will hurt you then it will do what it thinks you should have been doing all along.....kinda like an old legacy capt....used to do back in the day!

If you understand the software, you will never get into that situation. It uses very basic rules. You can also turn all the stuff off if you don't like what it's up to.

Put it this way....would the Air France accident over the Atlantic have occurred if it was a 767?

Airbiiiiiiii on their way.

Transitioning back to Boeing from the Airbus and FBW/sidestick has got to be an interesting experience...

Would The American 757 have flown into the monitains of Cali Columbia if it was an a320?


It's a bad thing to speculate this way, it depends on the pilots knowledge of systems and airmanship more than a bus vs boeing thing.

Very true.....
The AFrance thing is sad......they flew out of the complicated part (unreliable airspeed) and hooked on the easy part (push the nose down to get some airspeed)
Like almost all, the transript is a sad, sad thing....
On the Boeing vs. Airbus thing, if the Airbus had a nice big yoke, when the capt came up and sat in the Jumpseat, he would have seen the dude in the right seat holding full back stick the entire time......at least until 2000 ft or so....

I think a 757 went down in S. America due to taped over static ports, stalled as well IIRC.

I don't buy the Airbus v Boeing arguments, or side stick v yoke. This is about type specific training and basic airmanship. The flying pilot in the right seat was betting his life that holding the stick full back would work. And the captain coming in and sitting in the Jumpseat!?!?!?. How about getting in the captain's seat and figure out what's going on?

There was no tape over the static ports on the 757 that crashed in Cali, Colombia.

They flew off course due to poor FMS design and lack of Navaid confirmation then hit a mountain during GPWS recovery due to the speed-brakes not retracting even when they applied max thrust.

FWIW he didn't say Cali, just "South America". Reference the crash in the link...
