They give you a life raft, they give you a safety card with ditching instructions but the chances of surviving a ditching and the aircraft being in one piece are practically NIL, Mr sully got it very very right on the Hudson and he was very very lucky that the wind was blowing in the right direction, we get "The sully" every year in the sim - if Im lucky i get it near the hudson
Indian ocean, middle of a moonless night, Hypoxic Crew, HUGE aircraft (Much bigger than the A320 on the hudson) pretty but useless cabin crew....
Oh and sharks - did I mention sharks....
Its a very great shame but theyre all dead
If it was hijacked then it may have been the Flight Crew themselves, they may have been shot down, the Singaporean Air Force does not F**k about, theyve got Typhoons out of Changi that we're going all night last time I was there.....
People think all air carriers are safe - that part of the world is full of air carriers that should not be operating, they have major cultural differences that dont welcome the positive influence of expat western crew, same in China, Same in India, Same in Korea, Japan........they have huge cockpit gradients between captains and first officers which western airlines identified as a problem in the 70's and sorted out - pacific rim / eastern airlines not so
Korean air put one on its roof once a year! I could rattle off 10 carriers I would not fly on in a heartbeat
Shame!
