Airbus’ Post

Of course I had to write up a little something about the new Captain America trailer. Check out my article on G33k-HQ: https://lnkd.in/e6iEKwbJ

Why It Matters:

Ad Hominem. 1- Human as a hero. 2-Human as a hazard. The above are the two fallacies in the aviation industry. Since the advent of the Wright brothers' airplane, humans have been heroes until after World War II. Then came the airlines, general Aviation, and Business Aviation. Humans were no longer celebrated as heroes without the cape—no more Barnstormers and wing walkers. Ad Hominem. Everything became a human's fault—until US Airways Flight 1549, with Captain Sully and his crew, landed on the Hudson, the "miracle on the Hudson." Human is still the hero, but we no longer train them as such or write about them as such. Their training consists of their failures, not their success. #airlines #bizav #pilottraining #avgeek

Our human connection is so powerful.

Pedro, Pedro, Pedro, Pedro, Weeee. Trust your instruments until you have an issue. Spoofing, failure, no connection to satellite systems or anything else which can disturb your concentration or bring your attention elsewhere, trust your training and procedures and discuss issues with your copilot, if any:) #safetyfirst

It's Fun Facts Friday AirSho Fans! Did you know that the first-ever global 'flying meet' was held in 1909 in Reims, France and dubbed “Great Aviation Week”? While the Wright Brothers weren't in attendance, great aviators like Louis Blériot wowed over 200,000 awestruck spectators. Fast-forward to after World War I, the U.S. government had a surplus of airplanes, such as especially easy to fly trainers like the Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” biplane. Having no use for the aircraft, the government sold them to ex-military pilots and adventurous civilians who traveled the country to perform aerial demonstrations before a paying audience. These “barnstorming” pilots are often considered the first aerial stunt performers. With little regulation, barnstormers pulled off risky moves like loops, barrel rolls, and even flying under bridges or through barns. Stunts like wing walking, parachute jumps, and midair plane swaps were aplenty. One group even played tennis on airplane wings! Today near 12 million Americans attend air shows every year according to the International Council of Air Shows and the Fargo AirSho is proud to be part of those statistics. Join us on July 27 & 28 for some amazing aerobatic performances… although we have to issue a statement to not expect any sky tennis, we're all about safety here people! #airshow #fargo #fargoairsho #aviation #skyhigh #aviationhistory #airmeet

prosperous nations produce prosperous leaderships

Our national pride Air Canada gives us "upgrade points" to reward us for frequent travel, but when I travel I am always surprised how hard it is to get upgraded, especially on the flights between the East and the West Coast. I have experienced first hand how, on some of these flights, most of the business class seats were being occupied by Canadian "civil servants" and "government funded impact investors", whose sole responsibility it was to dole out taxpayers' money. The Canadian federal and provincial governments have been losing money hand over fist. The Canadian M2 money supply has increased by 78% over the last 8 years. The BC manufacturing industry is nearly dead. When a company loses that much money the CEO will normally make a great effort to control costs. Should the CEO of Canada maybe be asked to restrict his many employees (and Crown Corp employees) to traveling in economy?
