    This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning systems on airplanes, so dangerous maneuvers like this don’t happen in the future

      Exactly. I don’t say those things at work anymore because they are too many of them.

      I can’t help wondering if they are remorseful.

      One thing I know is people don’t like to be told. I stop correcting them. The more we point out their flaws, the more irrationally they will hold on to the false beliefs

        A fascinating theory I read is that MAGA is making a big deal out of Epstein because it provides an off-ramp that lets them save face.

        Legit I’m like "bruh, you’re upset that your billionaire ‘grab em by the pussy’, ‘accidentally’ walking into the miss teen usa changing room, ‘I’d fuck my daughter if she wasn’t my daughter’ president is on a list of billionaire sexual predators?

    TCAS warnings initially come up about 90 seconds before a potential collision, and a resolution advisory comes up about 60 seconds before a collision. A resolution advisory is obviously a serious situation, but it’s early enough that the climb or descent commands are really not anything crazy, not anything outside a normal climb or descent. No one should be hitting the ceiling if a tcas resolution is flown properly.

      Once the flight smoothed out, Ulasewicz, who was traveling to Las Vegas, said the pilot made an announcement indicating the plane used software to avoid a midair collision.

      Apparently it was right before catering service and well into AP flight. As a europoor I only master Airbus so I don’t know how a 737 is supposed to respond to a TA/RA.

      Let’s wait for better sources than twitter and nbc.

        The 737 won’t fly an RA on autopilot. We have to disconnect the autopilot and auto throttle and hand fly it. There’ll be a red box on the PFD that we just keep the pitch outside of, and we’ll be fine.

          Ok, I just looked at the737-NG PFD RA and it looks different from what I know but I wasn’t aware that you had to hand fly it.

          As the aircraft was climbing and with the yoke I guess it’s easy to push it a bit too hard and spill some coffee.

      That’s right. That’s why I always wear mine. Even if I have to get up to go to the bathroom or grab something- I still wear it. Sometimes the flight attendants get mad when I cut it off, but I remind them it’s for safety and they usually get it.
