"Wednesday’s startling flying episode comes as the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed to USA Today this week it was probing how a Southwest plane dropped to just 400 feet above the Pacific Ocean en route to Hawaii in April.
That plane plunged at “an abnormally high rate of more than 4,000 feet per minute” before pilots were able to tug the plane up, according to a memo from the airline company to pilots and obtained by Bloomberg."
@Diogenese_Shiplap@notabnormal what is going to happen is there is going to be a legit huge crash and it's going to spook the shit out of people. But the system won't fix it. And they'll do the standard "follow the system" bullshit. So FAA will start an investigation.
Then there will be a second one, and people will go absolute apeshit. It will kill the industry. It won't matter if this is before or after the FAA investigation is done, because they won't be able to make any recommendations that fix the problem.
