Pilot perspective, it was very agile despite its size it was very comfortable because it was such a big aircraft it rode the turbulence better than the smaller aircraft. it was very popular for passengers as well. ~ , ., ., , i. was very popular for passengers as well. ~ , ., . , i. ~ well. why do airlines you think need to move away well. why do airlines you think need to move away from well. why do airlines you think need to move away from these well. why do airlines you think need to move away from these long-haul| to move away from these long haul planes? to move away from these long-haul lanes? , ., ., ., ., planes? they are not moving away from long-haul planes? they are not moving away from long-haul they planes? they are not moving away from long-haul they are planes? they are not moving away from long-haul they are moving i planes? they are not moving away i from long-haul they are moving away from long haul they are moving away from long haul they are moving away from big jets. there are new aircraft coming in. the triple 79 which boeing helps to deliver in a couple years time. there s problems with development but that s a success from boeing perspective. airbus, the 8350 was smaller but seen as the successor to the bigger aircraft. they want to connect the smaller points more frequency rather than fly en masse between big hubs. thank you so much forjoining us on the show with your thoughts. that brings us to the end of newsday. thank you so much forjoining me.
Today are still 40% to 50% in real terms, 40% to 50% lower than they were just about a decade ago. and, yeah, they went way, way down during the pandemic. the inflation numbers could vary in the middle of the pandemic, probably not the right fee to compare it to. air travel remains a great value. you re frequently going to pay less for your airline ticket than one night at your hotel room or rental car. air travel remains a great value. but i think the ultra low prices that happen, you know, during the deficit, the pandemic, are in the rear view mirror and should be in the rear view mirror. airlines wouldn t be able to survive at that kind of pricing. pilot shortages, that s not a big issue for you but other carriers. any impact on holiday travel from here on out? this won t be an impact in the near term. united, we re able to hire pilots. we hired 2400 this year, we ll hire another 2500 next year. because we re at the top of the pyramid for pilot perspective. we re able to hire.
United states. he s using a executive authority when it comes to just like last week we boosted full academy standard across the gallon. so in every economy, even things as obscure as concrete, and salt. we are working to drive emissions down. boost competitiveness, create jobs, help consumers save money. so ali, republicans try to attack joe biden saying that he s declared a war and energy. and the white house is saying, no no! we ve approved permits for drilling. how is that a good thing from a pilot perspective? i know politically as to say that, but that can t be you as the deputy climate adviser ken i think the point that we are trying to make, and i think it s an important one to make, is that there are permits on public plans that are available, and the industry is not using them. so there is this notion that
So, john, it s got to be very concerning for any pilot who may have been walking into atlanta hartsfield airport thinking, wow, here comes a gun that gets that close, it s in the terminal, somehow it gets dislodged. talk about it from the pilot perspective. i mean, there s got to be all sorts of things that run through a pilot s mind when they hear about a gun dislodging at the airport. well, any time there s a discharge of a weapon in an airport, it s extremely serious. and the question is, what s the secondary security concerns and what i mean by that is, okay, the weapon discharged. is there an ongoing threat? that s the first i think you want to protect are the passengers and the airplane. so, that s from what i have read, they were able to quickly determine there were not any secondary security issues, although they do have a large number of passengers out on the ramp area, so this is going to
And i m wondering what you can tell this is not the best angle, but the back half really much more shredded. the front half all intact. anything you can tell by that? nothing really. ultimately we have to get the part, get it to the experts, get it into a laboratory and examine it. i think we ve got to really hesitate about speculating on it but i agree with les about the scenario that is most likely. on the other end of the news that s come out, this preliminary u.s. intelligence assessment that someone in the cockpit deliberately flew the plane off course. when you take a look at we can remind our viewers what that course was. from a pilot perspective, if you re in the cockpit s there any other scenario that would take that plane on that kir circuitous route? it s bizarre to me. when you use the term
You need to do. you know those pilots knew they were in a very grave and very serious situation. obviously they still maintained their oxygen or were able to get their oxygen masks on quickly enough to fly the plane. that s also hugely, you know, fortunate. they were trained and able to do that because they too, could have been subjected to this loss of pressurization and affected by did by it. so all in all, given the severity of the situation, it s fortunate they got the plane on the ground in one piece and everybody apparently is going to be fine. thank goodness. les, let me bring your voice to this conversation. 777 airline payilot. i m wondering what s happening from the pilot perspective. what s happening in the cockpit when this is going down? i m just getting preliminary information. there s an indication it s a door. i find that hard to believe from the standpoint of these doors are what we call plug-type doors.
I m going to tell you, moving forward in this country, you re going to see more prosecutors take it seriously. let me ask you, from a pilot perspective as well the like of this transcript hearing what specifically this captain was saying and hearing the banging on the doors and how disrespectful it could be to the families. this really was a breach. it was. but, you know that s why in our country we have this policy that the actual recordings themselves are never released and i see no purpose to have released this for the families. all this does is have to up the anguish that they are going through to know that their loved ones particularly the family of the pilot who i understand had two young children to have to hear this is what their loved ones experienced at the very end. as a pilot and as a person i can t think of something more
And that would be a good thing for the authorities in indonesia. and michael, from the pilot perspective, for people watching, this is not like driving a car where you turn on your turn signal and move into a different lane. when we hear that there was the desire to go from 32,000 to 38,000 feet, but they were waved off of that, how does that work? there are very strict protocols and procedures, ari. inclement weather is not unusually in this region. and it s not unusual to the crew either. i ve been involved in two crash investigations in my military career. they re basically broken down to three principle pillars, the where, the what and the why. and when an aircraft goes missing to actually finding out why something happened can take years. we know with mh 370 we still haven t found out where it is yet, let alone the what and the
Touched by the massive show of support especially from my fellow airlines. he went on this is my worst nightmare, but there is no stopping. joining us now from a pilot perspective is a triple seven captain, contributing editor of flying magazine. when you look at this search area the size of california it makes you wonder and i know you guys were talking about this earlier. if you can find your iphone with technology how is it they re looking for a plane in an area the size of california. you re talking about an airplane where the last contact was presumably at a high altitude and traveling at relatively high speed. so there s a lot of area that that aircraft could cover. we have some radar data that indicates what its tra jebtry was and what its track was.
Throughout the scene. saying look at the photos then said that is a mistake. that is nothing. then, today they said look here. on the eastern side of malaysia. we think there was a sea event then said our u.s. geological survey, no, it wasn t. we know malaysian government sup set at the chien yoez government for holding back information at this point in time. the chinese have a greater tracking than malaysians do but we have probably better stuff than the chinese they re checking them and there has been a lot of misinformation thus far. raising the possibility of them not look silly or foolish to the world or also they re hiding something. it sounds, i am just speaking from a pilot perspective that all of the misinformation or the red herrings maybe they re hiding something.
