AirAsia Flight Goes Missing Between Indonesia and Singapore

iONiUM (530420) writes As reported by many news sources, yet another plane has lost contact during a trip. This comes on the heels of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 which is still missing, and Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was shot down. From ABC's coverage: Sixteen children and one infant were among the passengers. At a press conference this morning, Indonesian officials said the plane was several hours past the time when its fuel would have been exhausted. The six-year-old aircraft was on the submitted flight plan but requested a deviation because of enroute weather before communication with the aircraft was lost. The plane was under the control of the Indonesian Air Traffic Control and had been in the air for about 42 minutes when contact was lost, AirAsia said.

    Never Fly On Malaysia Airlines!

    Your "Note to Self needs to change something

    I am from Singapore, and I can tell you this one thing ...
     
    The problem is not only "Malaysian Airlines" but any airplane that is being piloted by the Malays

    In all the 3 air planes, 2 from Malaysian Airline and one from Air Asia, the pilots are Malays

    I do not mean to be racist, but fact is ... and you can see it from the even the road traffic in Singapore and also in Indonesia and in Malaysia, the Malay drivers are among the most incompetent drivers available

    If they can't drive properly, what makes you think that they can FLY an airplane ?

    What's the value of an asshole that spends his evening judging the value of others he has never met?
