Was it suicide?

[mercenary for hire]

Probably just curious to see what would happen by turning the switches off.There are easier ways to top yourself.Maybe he was unhappy with his employer?

The other side is boeing have a habit of blaming the pilots then rolling back afterwards when it's been proven it's the fault of the plane.

[Taxi driver42]

Just curious
He knew it would loose power
Too low to cut the power

[mercenary for hire]

Yeah but how much power....

[Taxi driver42]

Them Indians
I still think it was the plane not the captain

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

i saw an interview with an american pilot and he definitely reckons suicide.
in asian culture it's the ultimate shame to top yourself.
apparently if you top yourself and pass it off as a dreadful accident well then you're gameball.

Think about it .He picks up off the Rank drops at another rank .Told what to eat when to eat cant have a gargle .Pilot must be the most boring no Satisfaction Job in the World .Unlike us who do exactly the same job moving Fat Covered Bone He cant park up when he is pissed off ..They know yer man deliberately crashed into the Mountain .They think Malaysian Plane they never found was suicide pilot turned off tracker .Im surprised it dosent happen More .Samarathans recon a lot of them single passenger crashes on rural roads could be suicides .Must be strange for a Lad who has to have high educational ability to train as a Pilot to suddenly discover he is just a well paid Amazon Delivery Driver .No job satisfaction just daily drudgery .

They get paid well, are well respected. Get to see the world for free, get to party with the flight attendants etc it's not that boring.

If the engine goes on fire you can cut off the fuel supply to douse the fire no fuel no fire remember your Fire Triangle training .

Thats the James Bond movie image of Pilots not the reality .They cannot eat the same meal as the Co pilot .They are regularly drink and drug tested .If they miss a day taking a sickie they will be stood down to local hops lose international flights and higher wages .Most Pilots do not earn Huge money .The Top paying Airline in the World is actually Aer Lingus .Lads working for American low cost carriers earn less than managers in Mc Donalds .If you have any serious health issue like high blood pressure diabeties or serious bad eyesight you are grounded .Nobody really respects Pilots they are just like busdrivers with wings .Taxi drivers and Coach drivers get tips from greatfull passengers .Have you ever given the Airhostess or Trolley Dolley two euro and said give that to the Driver ?
