You might end up with copper

I heard someone say this, and I like the metaphor:

Using AI to write a school paper is like bringing a forklift to the gym. The point is not that the weights need to be moved around.

What justifies this price? They don't have a certified product nor a proven business model; and certainly no revenue to show?
Backs up my opinion that market cap is just speculation and has no real foundation in fundamentals.

You're right. I've seen this exact clip multiple times a few months ago with no attribution anywhere. Sort of difficult to track down original posting in such cases.

AI generated content is basically digital asbestos. Eventually, even years after the bubble burst, there will be so much of this slop lying around the internet that needs to be picked apart and cleaned away.

To keep the Boom investment narrative alive for a few more years in the light of the nonavailability of an off-the-shelf engine and the assessment by the incumbent engine OEMs that there is no business case for them in developing a bespoke new engine for Overture.

They should also rename the rail link thing to Crazy Train 😂😂

?? 🤔

very interesting thing just happened: EWR had a complete ground stop due to “thunderstorms” despite no storms in a 200 mile radius. The only flight to leave from EWR in that window? Air Force One.

sure looks like Donald Trump just shut down EWR for 4 hours so he could watch a soccer game!

No it doesn't. If the locking mechanism works as intended, shouldn't it take much longer than just 1s to turn them both off?
And an accidental flick (assuming lock mechanism isn't working) need not be simultaneous to the dot either.

It's definitely (and mostly) us, for sure. But in this case, AAIB's handling of the communications has been abysmal.
Anyway, I know it's not convention to provide CVR extracts, but in this case I think it might have been warranted to make an exception. That's all.

Fair enough. My only expectation from having more from the CVR is to put unwarranted speculation to rest.

Extraordinary claims of "deliberate pilot action" need to be supported by extraordinary evidence - of which there's none at the moment.

How would they know how much effort would be required without the locking mechanism? Did they encounter a locking mechanism failure? Or any situation where there's no locking mechanism?
Random youtube comments aren't evidence of anything!

That's for neither you nor I to say, but for the investigation to conclude. It would be prudent to not make baseless and derogatory statements until the final report comes out.

Comments like those shouldn't be made lightly.

Honestly, all these posts blaming the pilots (both "probable cause" type posts and the worse "definitely pilot action" ones) are so testing my patience - especially those from people who are supposed to know better.
Garbage like this was said about the Lion Air and Ethiopian pilots as well.

"This is clearly pilot error, most likely intentional"
Honestly, this is such a fuckall statement to make without any evidence whatsoever.
Shame!

If the locking mechanism is broken/disengaged, does it still take considerable effort to flick them off?
There exists already an advisory about those switches.
Easy for you to simply blame the pilots who aren't alive to defend themselves.
I'd suggest watching Juan's video:

The only addition I would have preferred is at least a short extract from the CVR transcript regarding the cutoff switches. Way too many people are jumping to conclusions that it's deliberate pilot action.

Most aviation accidents occur due to multiple extremely improbable occurrences lining up (i.e. Swiss cheese model). It's a result of the safety culture in aviation. It is unacceptable that people jump to conclusions in the middle of an active investigation, and that too ascribing blame on pilots.

Please Michael, can you read that entire sentence again for me?

weird to me that this is what folks are going for and not the "they never bothered with the SIAB inspection" part

Ffs! Stop blaming the pilots without evidence. Let the investigation be complete.

And here we go - pointed right at the pilots.

If any of you actually read the preliminary report, there is also a whole paragraph in the report about a 2018 non-mandatory advisory about these switches being installed with the locking mechanism disengaged.
So please stop blaming the pilots without evidence of actual wrongdoing.

I repeat:
"At this point, the investigation is still ongoing and I find it baffling that people are already pointing fingers at the pilots."
Your "probable cause" adds to the mix and acts as a catalyst to social media frenzy blaming "3rd world" pilots.
Very much what happened with Ethiopian pilots.

One asks why did you cut off - a valid assumption on his part because *if* the locking mechanism works as intended, only manual action can turn the switch - and the other pilot clearly denies doing so. So it is a big leap from that factual statement to your conclusion that one of them turned it off

What!? That's not what it says- the statement in the report indicates shows that neither pilot did not in fact turn the switch to cutoff.
