As we sit in the midst of the quietest period on the aviation safety forum certainly since I registered on this site (indeed, one might even say the place has been given up for dead) a few thoughts come to mind:
- It can only be a good thing that there have been so few noteworthy accidents to discuss of late, at least in this part of the world, and that even the conspiracy theorists must have returned to discussing the lower astral plane rather than aeroplanes. (This site doesn't recognize the word aeroplane, what?)
- What is the longest period of time we have gone in the United States between fatalities involving commercial airliners? Since the last one I can remember is Colgan, I wonder if this is now the new record?
- I can't help but think that we've been lucky, and that somewhere out there are pilots who are waking up in the middle of the night saying, "I can't believe we came out of that one in one piece."
- This might be a good time to consider amnesty to some previously banned members who brought with them some entertaining insights - they might breathe some life into the old place anyway. I'm speaking here not of the exiled trolls, but of a few pilots who showed signs of impulse control disorder but who still provided good reading material.
Well, back to work. Hopefully there will continue to be not much to discuss for the foreseeable future.
