A remarkable safety record despite high-profile disasters. many believe on-board pilots remain the most reliable way to handle problems and retrofitting planes coulds cost billions. second passenger may not be ready. rob guyer is with "flying" magazine. >> i start by asking myself that question how would i field getting to into an airliner? i wouldn't do it. >> one of the reasons is there's still questions about reliability in these systems, and there are unanswered questions. for example, if you want to make this plane safe by having a ground station control so terrorists can't take up over h...

Dollars. sec, passengers may not be ready. robert goyer, with "flying" magazine. >> i asked myself that question how do you feel getting in the airliner with no airline pilots up front? i wouldn't do it. >> there are many unanswered questions on reliability and what happens if the plane break free from the electronic tether and what if terrorists take over a ground station and in that form control an airplane? one possible solution is to have multiple stations involved at any given time so it can't happen with one station controlled but then what if they manage to hack into the data stream and...

The most reliable and other planes could cost millions of dollars and passengers may not be ready. robert is with flying magazine. >> i start by asking myself how would i feel getting into an airline, and i would not do it. >> there are many unanswered questions about reliability and what happens if this plane were to break free and what are terrorists take over a ground station and in that form take control after an airplane. you have to have multiple stations available at one time. even then what if someone hacks into the data stream and takes over from the plane somewhere else. all of the q...

Questions about reliability in these systems and there are unanswered questions. for example, if you want to make this plane safe by having a ground station control it so a terrorist can't take over up here what if a terrorist takes over down here? now the plane is in their control and they don't even have to be on board. one possible solution is you have more than one ground station. they have to work in tandem. that sort of defeats that problem but it doesn't answer another question. what if you just have some sort of hacker who interrupts the data stream and takes over the plane anyway. tha...

Data capability of the data stream from that airplane was also turned off. here without those thing, like ken christianson just said the transponder was working, they know where this airplane was right up until the time it was lost. it's a confined space in shallower water. the recorders have pingers with at least 30 day batteries and now the world is shifting to 90-day duration batteries. i suspect they will find this very quickly. >> tom fuentes, the other big difference between the malaysia air issue and this one is the indian ocean compared to the java ocean which s-like a pond versus an o...
