The bigger issue is, should China Airlines be grounded?!! :erm:

This incident is the latest in a series of accidents involving China Airlines. Jetliners for the air carrier crashed in 2002, 1999, 1998 and 1994, killing more than 1,000 people.

Who has lost more hulls in the last decade, Fedex or China Airlines?

World used to commercial me around quite a bit on CAL (CAL in Asia = China Air Lines.) Nothing says "livin' the dream" like spending 11 hrs in the middle seat of a fully loaded 747-400 while suddenly realizing you're the only one not wearing a SARS mask. Three times in one month.

The FA's were exceptional, however.imp:

Chinese are probably saying "see, that's what we get when we buy these cheap goods from the U.S."

Probably more like " what you mean..four day past mx inspection....I don't care...you fly plane now..or you fired"

 

[CA1900]

"You been here four hour, you go NOW!"

FedEx has, by far! I don't understand how that can be so. They hire such superior aviators with such skill, they can land any aircraft on the head of a pin... They forgot to inform them that the pin is 3/4 down the runway.

This is probably why China had announced no new airline start-ups effective immediately. China's airline growth is skyrocketing. With such fast pase growth, we will probably see many more serious problems coming from that country.

... what does China has to with China Airlines...

 

[FlyAirtran]

The crew was made up of 2 pilots and six flight attendants.

An even bigger question is why isnt my company flying me around with 6 flight attendants??!! :blush:

China Airlines belongs to the China Aviation Development Foundation, which belongs to the Chinese government.

 

[firstthird]

China Airlines is the national airline of the Republic of China, i.e. Taiwan, not Red China. per wikipedia.

which is what Little Bubba was saying. confusing if you're not an old china hand, or so I've heard.

Pilots Jumping

Did anyone see the video of the two pilots jumping out the cockpit windows falling on to the ground as thee engien exploded. It did not look like they had an escape rope. This maybe an option on China arlines planes.

Because a Chinese FA is 1/2 the size of an American FA.

 

[TinGoose1]

Their F/A's are half the size and FEMALE. Question: Who wants six dudes in the back? Answer: Probably any one of the six dudes in the back. I'll take 3 female grandma's over that any day.
