I think it was American Airlines where flight attendants were scolded and told to stop locking the electronic 787 windows to dark after customers complained.
So glad the idiot who crashed his plane after jumping out to parachute to safety like he’s some hero who saved his own life. I took insult that he thought people watching would no nothing of his set up with a go pro everywhere. I was on to him just seeing his thumbnail. His sentence is a joke I’d give him 5/10 years minimum to serve all of it as well as UA-cam should cancel him.
Good report, Maximus …. Thank you 🙏 Th random drug program for overseas Part 145 is an excellent step forward. We’ve been trying for years to have the people that build the airplanes in Boeing factories on the random drug program…. To this day they are not. Airbus does. As for those suspect/unapproved CFM parts, good first step with the supplier, the larger question is who made them?
That’s my comfort in all of this. He’ll never fly again. That’s a huge amount of money, time and training that he can never make use of again. He might be free from prison but he’ll never get anything remotely close to his old life.
The 25 hr. CVR is a great rule. A good example is the MH370 flt. The pilot knew the CVR would be overwritten in two hours which was shorter than the time the flight stayed airborne. That's if you believe the scenario that everyone seems to agree to.
Technology has moved along since so many of these 10-20+ years old CVRs in aircraft. SSD storage allows TBs of storage where the old systems had only 100s of MBs. Safety gear should be updated. It could also be downloaded live midair over most of the globe with the sat link they have for wifi etc.
I agree but in this situation if the pilot really did it on purpose he probably turned it off. I just hope they find the aircraft before I die so we can maybe understand what happened. @@zorbakaput8537
IMHO, the extra-territorial application of national laws is a very bad precideence. If the FAA can mandate laws to European companies why can't the EU mandate laws to US companies? I wouldn't be surprised to see the European Working Time Directive being applied to US maintence organisations as, clearly, tired workers are safety issue. What about China? This is a very slippery slope.
Count me as one of those passengers who didn't know that about mechanics overseas. I'm guessing that the rest of your 88.1K subscribers will now know that too if they didn't know it before today.
Who puts the window shade down on a plane in the first place? If you don't like the view out of the window, let those of us who like to look out it for the entire flight sit by the window. I would not at all like it if the crew was able to suddenly prevent me from seeing outside. I would feel trapped and claustrophobic, plus I don't get to fly very often and I like to look at things from above and to look at the stars at night. It's very nice and, if I'm going to pay an arm and a leg to be in a plane in the first place, then I get to control my damn window shade!
Regarding the pilot high on mushrooms. Yes he should be charged and convicted of endangering the crew, the passengers as well as the aircraft. He was not forced to take the mushrooms no were the given to him using deception. His act was voluntary causing him to lose his mental judgement. Had he gotten away with shutting down the engines the death of all concerned was a distinct possibility. He should not be able to just walk away with this charge(s).
Back in Bangkok from the mango farm I found the Arrow socks and briefs that I wear that keeps the jungle rot away. This made it a very Merry Christmas for me. Just wish you had some more uplifting news to give. Driving in Thailand is one of the most dangerous things you can do in the world but your latest aviation report doesn't make me want to fly anytime soon. Got the first hot air balloon ride last week that was fantastic. Merry Christmas Maximus
If the charges were "dropped", why is he "free on bail"? That would imply charges are still pending. Never mind...not worth watching to find out how the title is wrong.
Could/Would some pilot please answer my question(s)? I have yet to see a GA airplane (be it piston, turbo-piston, turboprop, or light jet) capable of flying with the fuel tanks and seats filled. There's always a trade-off so to not exceed max take-off weight. Like owning a stationwagon. That if every seat is occupied, you could only drive with 40% full fuel tank. But .... if only 2 people are up front, you could fill the stationwagon up. Driving non-stop much further. A never-ending mathematical pain-in-the-ass calculation that is critical flying GA planes. Not even the Cessna Citation X (deemed the fastest private jet in the world) can take off with full seats (12 passengers) and full fuel tanks. No commercial plane models have such over-sized disproportionate engines as the Citation X. Engines on the original 84-seat Boeing 737, from the 60s, look smaller than the engines on the 12-seat modern Citation X. Yet that original 737 could load-up 84 fat asses, with 2 heavy bags of luggage each and a carry-on bag to boot. Top-off the 737 tanks and take-off ........................... No problem. How the hell can a Boeing 777 full of 300 + fat passengers stay airborne for 20 hours on those long-haul flights? It boggles my scrotum.
He could be. As a pilot - one would almost never ingest something like that because you could be random checked anytime. He should never fly commercially again. Airlines have good insurance pay for all the time you're out. Get some help and find something else to do.
it almost doesn't matter whether he had mushrooms or not. He was clearly not in a healthy state of mind at the time, and being under the influence of a substance isn't exonerating. It's worth noting, though, that psilocybin mushrooms are known to alleviate severe depression in some cases which are resistant to other treatments. He might indeed have been self-medicating and it didn't work or had deleterious effects.
I’ll say he’s sick and he may be a criminal. The latter is a question for a jury. In any case, I hope he’s not on the flight deck of any aircraft I’m in. I do fly Alaska and its subsidiaries regularly. No drama on my flights, please. He is entitled to bail. Please pronounce “Oregon” the way you pronounc “wagon.”
The Air Alaska pilot charged with attempted gliding has to be free... by now. Because a) everybody is innocent until proved otherwise in a trial, so he is still technically innocent, and b) he doesn't seem to be the guy that would be violent, flee, or tamper with the investigation. So free with a bond and a set of restrictions while he awaits for trial seems to be proper. But then.... He probably needs to be found guilty and spend many years in prison. Being under drugs while committing a crime cannot be an excuse. Otherwise it's too easy. Just take drugs before committing a crime and you are good to go. Not only he attempted to crash a plane in which he was a passenger, but he was commuting to be the pilot on a flight, under the influence of drugs, in a state of severe depression which he was aware he was suffering since he took the drugs precisely to deal with the depression, and under severe fatigue after 40 hours without sleeping. The only little problem is that you cannot charge him for what he was almost surely going to do later.
Jacobs should have got longer sentence
Emerson must never be allowed to pilot a plane again.
Emerson pilots are *EVERYWHERE*

So if you're high...or under some sort of drugs..that an ok defense.. ridiculous..pull his FAA license
Merry Christmas Maximus ! Keep the great videos/news feeds coming !
Wow, did that mushroom trip go sideways or what? lol
Good report, Maximus …. Thank you 🙏

Watch the documentary from Al Jazeera documentary about the Boeing plant in SC. Scary.
Power plants not used in aircraft, eg installed on sea vessels, electric power generation, are not subject to the same regulations.
Did a criminal act but not a criminal. He needs help big time. 40 years on the job, seen almost all of it
No way the Alaska Airlines pilot will ever pilot another plane!
That’s my comfort in all of this. He’ll never fly again. That’s a huge amount of money, time and training that he can never make use of again. He might be free from prison but he’ll never get anything remotely close to his old life.
Doi, ya think? I don't want this idiot free. I don't want him on the road. He belongs in a cage.
Just goes to show judicial systems the world over are weak!🤮

what would be different about MH370 if it had a 25 hr CVR ? ? ?
I'm not sure. If it really was a pilot who whet rogue maybe nothing. If it was an aircraft failure maybe a lot. @@buckmurdock2500

Airlines be like: we can charge passengers for the view

So what's with the bald head men 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
It's ALASKA AIR, not "Air Alaska".
It's neither.
uh oh - now Mr. Emerson is going to start pulling all the fire handles he can 🤣🤣🤣
He should get a job in Congress then 😂
when you succesfully distract the peoples attention, you get your bail paid off and scot free, take one wrong medication and bye bye career lol.
finally some common sense. It was to good thing to do and now let's have him consult whatever counsel he needs.
Oregon = Ore"gun", not Ore"gon".
if you drink and drive its criminal offence, flying an aircraft whilst knowingly unfit is too!
He wasn’t flying it, though.
try to bring down a plane and walk free? think about that the next time you walk thru airport "security".....wowzers. yep i just said wowzers.
Is aerBlade different than the Gentex dimming window options that Boeing and Airbus are offering?

He knew better than to fly given he had no sleep for 48 hours. He knows the rules. No excuse.
He was riding as a passenger in the cockpit jump seat and not acting as a pilot.
I wonder how long it's been since the teamster goon has touched a wrench. 😂

He's lying about the mushrooms. He's never ingested anything psychedelic in his entire life. He's a liar.

Nah I bet he did them. People with mental issues should not use psychadellics.
We’re excusing Emerson’s behavior? This insane tear jerk hand wringing has to end. He willingly went down the rabbit hole.
Ever deal with a person who has severe mental illness? Nobody is "excusing" him, he's lost his career.
You appear to be "Just asking questions" here. No one is excusing it just explaining it.
He hasn’t been excused. He has been charged and will be tried.
@@GH-oi2jf The filmed tearful reunion with loving family is “being excused”. It is all ok now in his mind.
