Airlines nowadays care about money more than anything,The plane doesn't stop,Its always on the move.I remember boarding an ethiopian airline,It was 30 minuted late,when it arrived,it first had to be 'serviced' and then in one of the stopovers,even before the luggage was properly set and people had settled,the plane was almost about to taxi.
On the same plane,the video screen wasnt working,the broken seat and when i looked at the wings,i could see rust covered by simple paint patches.
There is alot of carelessness and lack of proper safety procedures especially on airlines flying across Asia and Africa.
The pilots and flight engineers are overworked,They live in hotels across the world.If not in a hotel,he or she is in a plane flying an overworked machine.
Air India-overworked machine + Overworked/Unqualified pilots + Overworked engineers + Don't question the management =Mass murder.
Crazy shit.
That's gross exaggeration. Boeing has quality control problems that is the main issue. That was the verdict in previous crashes not exhausted airline crews.
What did i exaggerate?If you are a regular flyer,You very well know that:
1) An airplane pilot & maintenance crew especially etihad ethiopian asian or indian air which i use on a regular basis live in Hotels.Once you land a plane after 14 hours,You take a rest in a hotel for a few hours,then new crew takes over the flight,Are you aware of that?Are you?Xheck the flight paths of most planes,Its just 1-2 hours of stop.No proper maintenance.
2) Regular flying results in a lot of fatigue due to compressed air and time zones.Working for long hours can result in fatigue and faliure to properly assess an aircraft.If you want to attest this,some of the air hostess clothes are very dirty.
3) Lastly,You cannot fly an over 10 year old machine for 10s of hours without proper maintenance.Thats a disaster.Any machine over 8 years requires regular overhaul from engine hydraulics flaps electronics otherwise its a time bomb.
The cause of that accident was an overworked maintenance crew beating deadlines and an airplane not properly maintained while being flown by inexperienced pilot.
If you doubt this,let them table the aircraft flight hours,service intervals and numbers of hours worked by maintainance crew and pilots.
The day i saw sprayed paint on wings,dirty airhostess,broken seat and screen,a lately arrived plane 787 being "maintained" after a 16 hour flight and then another 16 hour flight and the plane starting before even the luggage is set and hostess have sat down,I knew african and asian airlines are flying caskets.
These cheap aiŕlines are dangerous but money first.
