Inexperienced flying. These guys do the not even close to the average time up in the air, then one of our pilots. No business trying to "show-off" expertise, they lack proper training and safety.

I would hate to be stuck on the plane sitting next to someone with mother nature calling. O'Leary is nothing but an attention getter. Stop talking about it Ryanair and just do it. It's a PR stunt. Nothing more. Like to see the outcome how much he saves, but also how much more money he loses.

Bad landing. Apparently the pilot made poor judgement calls, and or was not qualified to maybe even fly the plane. Russia AI lacks infrastructure and training. It's obvious. The plane - a very old bucket that has not been maintained properly.

What does United have to do with WTC even before the tragedy?

Airliners arent stupid. They are in a very lucrative and successful industry. Did the seats get smaller, or are we still talking about the same size for the A330's? It's bad enough as it is being in a seat when you can barely put the tray down, but when you have to sit next to someone who let's just call it a "thyroid" issue, well it's something that can be managed. W/ right procedures intact imberassment for both passenger and airline can be avoided. If your going to speak of issues, what about the passenger who smells really bad? What are you going to do than? Move to another seat? Your lucky if you can get up any more just to use the lavatory without having someone tell you you have to sit back down. And let's face it, America is known for its eateries, restaurants, and fast foods. What can you expect? Airlines have always had this issue, but in turn will make the seats smaller so they can cram us in more, so we inturn buy an upgrade, and they are the ones who win, not the customer.

Can you say "jamming device"...maybe another 3rd world country would be interested, and like the stealth...I see it to believe it. So far, nothing. It's an over-sized RC toy w/ a camera.

Matt, he is "freshmen" Republican congressman, what can you expect? He is also alittle late. He probably has some other deal happening with Cirrus.

What else do you think the FAA and airlines should be removing besides the o2 generators from lavatories on commercial aircrafts?

They may have won the World Junior Hockey Championships-but their Juniors! They are a group that is under the age of 20yrs, right? Hmmm. What's the drinking age in NY.

How do we really know if it intially WAS the pilots fault? Sure, he might be "mister butter-fingers" holding a coffee cup, but there is always the scenario of a flight attendant passing the beverage from behind, rather than saying, "left-side or right side of you." Time and time again I hear Captains main complaint is how unsafe it is, but the attendants or anyone else still continue to do the same thing without thinking twice about it. Just a thought. On the other hand, putting in the wrong code in on the transponder..but still 75 and 76 are pretty close together. I also thought these codes were supposed to be confidential, and not public information for security reasons? Mistakes clearly made and easily corrected, but the fact of the matter; the errors-and errors can cost people-time, money, and safety. Wonder what his review will be like.
