Best chance you have…Would this be a good time to make a smug comment about my Airbus shares?

Definitely fake, but still hilarious!
The site'sotto is, "Fake News You Can Trust".Definitely fake, but still hilarious!
You just made my day!The site'sotto is, "Fake News You Can Trust".
Yeah they’re a satirical publication. I’ve never found them particularly funny but this one is OK.Definitely fake, but still hilarious!
Some people claim that there was a woman to blame....Innocent question... How do we know this was an aircraft issue and not an issue with the flight crew?
Indeed!Some people claim there was a woman to blame....
And the news just keeps coming...

But also, there's a design flaw if carelessly placed hands can cause this much trouble. Good design is resilient in the face of ordinary human behavior.if true, someone had their hands in a place the wrong place
Not really, each seat of the pilot seats on the 787 has 2 sets of switches for adjusting the seats. one is down on the side of the seat, and includes two separate rocker switches: one controls fore and aft movement, the other controls height adjustment. The other switch is up on the seat back, just under the head rest on the back of the seat that is under a hinged cover. I would not say a design flaw.But also, there's a design flaw if carelessly placed hands can cause this much trouble. Good design is resilient in the face of ordinary human behavior.
More news about this is coming to light.... it sounds like this was crew error: one of the pilots seats was inadvertently moved electrically... in other words, if true, someone had their hands in a place the wrong place

I'm with @Azamiryou on this one. Reaching for the seat adjustment switches and hitting the wrong button that you can't see shouldn't cause dramatic flight events that land people in the hospital. It's a somewhat different story if there was some kind of electrical fault in the seat adjustment system that caused the autopilot to flake out. Still, I would like there to be enough separation between those systems that a fault in a comfort system doesn't mess up a major flight control.Not really, each seat of the pilot seats on the 787 has 2 sets of switches for adjusting the seats. one is down on the side of the seat, and includes two separate rocker switches: one controls fore and aft movement, the other controls height adjustment.

Everything I seen and heard so far as to what really caused this is BS!! It would be more believable if they said a snake slithered up or rat jumped up from under the pilots seat onto his lap causing him to lose control. Even the aviation experts/ pilots think something is very " fishy" about the explanation as to what happened so far.More news about this is coming to light.... it sounds like this was crew error: one of the pilots seats was inadvertently moved electrically... in other words, if true, someone had their hands in a place the wrong place
Something similar once happened on an RAF personnel transport flight. The seat sliding forward pushed one of the pilots’ DSLR cameras into the sidestick and caused a pretty significant pitch down.For the record, the current explanation being floated is that a flight attendant bumped the seat controls, which pushed the pilot into the flight controls, which caused the dramatic movements. I agree that this explanation doesn’t pass the smell test. Like why would the seat controls move the seat so fast that the pilot would make such a critical error?
Two notes:I seen the demonstration on the news, the switch is covered to begin with and then when activated the seat moves very slowly, just like the electric seat adjustment in a car. I guess we'll find out a little more when the black boxes are analyzed.
The sudden interest in the make and model of incident aircraft is frustrating when most of the recent ones are clearly maintenance-related or operational in nature. Gotta get clicks.And in other news, BA is now testing 12-month lows (closed at $179.84 vs. $176.25):

Nope, still not touching it, until a solid +10% reversal.

No, you have to please the algorithms in order to get clicks!Gotta get clicks.
Precisely this. I would like to see one days incident reports for all aircraft, including Boeing. Lets just see how much is happening in the world of airplanes and incidents that don't have the name Boeing attached to it.The sudden interest in the make and model of incident aircraft is frustrating when most of the recent ones are clearly maintenance-related or operational in nature.

nothing, airbus knows how to keep a secret.Precisely this. I would like to see one days incident reports for all aircraft, including Boeing. Let’s just see how much is happening in the world of airplanes and incidents that don't have the name Boeing attached to it.
That's their story and they are sticking to it...But also, there's a design flaw if carelessly placed hands can cause this much trouble. Good design is resilient in the face of ordinary human behavior.
What are the chances that Airbus is sabotaging Boeing aircraft?Boeing stock was up a little today but fast approaching a 52 week low. Airbus set a new 52 week high.
Zero.What are the chances that Airbus is sabotaging Boeing aircraft?
What I figured, anyway it’s turning out well for them, there sales people can say stuff like “you don’t want your door coming off, do you?”Zero.
