The episode where the windshield blew out (with the pilot) and the flight attendant pulled/ held onto his legs was insane.

my wife loves to watch that, and I have have first hand knowledge of several of the incidents we've watched, some are pretty accurate but several are way off the mark in accuracy


I think you meant to say your HEARD first hand knowledge, not that you HAVE first hand knowledge, unless you are not a very good pilot.

no, I meant exactly what I said, I’ve done a bit of accident investigation, and every time there’s an accident in our industry we have access to the data

you'd think that they would learn to not question you or your experience(s)

Fantastic show. It is amazing that rarely does an aviation incident occur with fewer than 5 or 6 assorted screw ups being involved.

I’ve never encountered a homo FA that is not militant. They’re want to act life girls and then act pissed off they’re doing a job for women.??

there are a lot of accidents/incidents that are truly a result of pilot error, but in the case of most accidents it's rarely one single thing, but a combination of things that contribute to the cause of the accident

Some heads rolled after an Asiana flight crashed in San Francisco in 2013. Someone called in and gave them the names of the flight crew. Station KTVU ran with it and didn't verify the names.

This show is addicting. Season 5, Episode 4 Tragedy on the Potomac in 1982 is the one I can't seem to forget.

In addition to being a lying, full-of-shite, try-hard, one-upper, you also seem to be somewhat stupid.
Having access to data does not constitute "first hand knowledge"!
