You Know that anythings that have do with Airlines is BIG news and all the news and TV are all over it.These pilot are very experience.
Furthermore for a Pilot to be checked out to fly a A320 YOU must be very very experience and show your competience. I think that these two pilots should be reprimand.From a privet pilot with friends that fly this type of plan is not easy, if you would know what they have to do for the safty of you and the plane it would drive you crazy.

UFO. They saw it, perhaps were controlled by it. The F-16s were scrambled and witnessed it. These unlucky pilots are taking the fall for a Govey coverup.

@ Oliver: It doesn't matter where they were headed. Jets were scrambled after Payne Stewart's plane when they couldn't be contacted and they were over nowhere in the Midwest. The fact that a big ass commercial airplane was unable to be contacted after 13 attempts by ATC, and that no jets were scrambled after it, makes me very suspicious that there is something VERY different about this incident. We the public have no idea. And those that know aren't telling.

@Micke I guess as long as they don’t get caught crashing into you, you’re also okay with motorists driving recklessly and/or drunk. After all, if they didn’t hurt you, no harm was done. Right?

I did not say one word about 9/11 thank you. What I did say was SAFETY FIRST! I am sorry you have a problem with the reprocussions of their failure to do their job properly and professionally.@ Micke:

Unfortunately, it was the FAA that brought 9/11 into the discussion by stating their concerns that the plane might have been hijacked.

It’s a pretty complex story in terms of significance and requires taking the time to familiarize yourself with it.

Dear Sir,
everyone WAS in one piece !
Pilots did goof off.
THEY will be overly punished.. thanks to your thinking.
Please do not bring 9/11 to this debate it doesn’t help your rant.

The lesson will not be lost to other pilots that they have a job to do. Lack of attention, dangerous pilot errors or other major safety mistakes are NOT acceptable to the flying public. I can't belive you ask "who cares?" My thinkinf is that anyone who boards on a flight cares about getting to their destination IN ONE PIECE! Your attitude would allow loose compliance to safety rules to be the norm. UNACCEPTABLE!@ micke:

It depends on what particular angle you don’t recognize the significance. If it’s the one I’ve been concentrating on — a test of our defense systems against terrorism — well, if two wars, significant constitutional restrictions, three thousand dead people, four smoking holes, billions of dollars, and the elimination of any convenience to air travel haven’t led you to see the importance of assessing what that’s all for, nothing anyone writes on a blog is going to.
