Shirl:
Bad pilots and bad maintenance exist, sure ... but accidents can and do occur in the most meticulously maintained aircraft flown by "extraordinarily safe" pilots too. You shouldn't make any assumptions about pilots or maintenance every time there is a crash. Mxsmanic wrote: I'm just going by the numbers. Random, unavoidable mechanical or other failures are quite rare as causes of accidents, even in GA aircraft. Not as rare as you assume. Most accidents are avoidable, either with a better pilot or a more carefully maintained aircraft, or both. There are PLENTY of carefully maintained aircraft that have problems and failures, some resulting in accidents and some not. The concept you aren't understanding is that mechanical failure is not necessarily an indication of poor/careless/inadequate maintenance, and in fact, more frequently than you believe, things go wrong even on airplanes that are vigilantly maintained. Bottom line, even though you and your mechanic do everything humanly possible, there is simply no way to assure an aircraft isn't going to have a problem. |

Sorry to jump in here guys. MX, you are an insufferable fool. Your comments on other threads regarding housing prices in the US, how a million dollars is not alot of money, how middle class is shrinking in America, etc are absolutely hysterical coming from an underemployed Frenchman like you. |

I never thought I'd say this this, but don't insult the French by implying he is one of them. He is just a whining ex-pat American ( or so he claims ) |

I never thought I'd say this this, but don't insult the French by implying he is one of them. He is just a whining ex-pat American ( or so he claims ) I'm an immigrant myself (German), and have no love for French or German politics. I love my country, and hate things that smack of socialism (like the FAA). If he is an ex-pat, and is presently under-employed in France making a few hundred bucks a week guiding tourists around (as I remember from a few months ago when Anthony was "outed" by one of the clever pilots here), why would he remain in France? Could it be that he is more comfortable there? Underemployed, but SIMULATING: flying, relationships, economic research, sex (?), intellectualism, etc. Maybe French government services make it more comfortable to do this in France. Maybe he views himself as a misunderstood philosopher, and feels more at home in France than the burgeious USA? I don't know. I'll say this. The last episode of the Sopranos occurs this Sunday. So far, watching the MX series to be the next best alternative. |

Listen fool: Some of the pilots here with whom I have quarreled with in the past even acknowledged that I attached references to studies on things like the FAA funding formula, etc. You on the other hand just spew trash about anything and everything. |
