Ethiopian Airlines plane's black box recovered after deadly crash, but is reportedly damaged

[Nature Boy 2.0 8,378]

This is how the press is dishonest. They dont say it but they are implying the 737 returning for an engine problem is somehow unusual and related to the other problems. Airlines return to the airport for engine problems almost 2 times per month and in general about every 3 days

 

On a side note  not I did not know they had un-grounded them

They have not un-grounded them. In the US they're allowed to test and re-position the MAX aircrafts.

If it's the one in Orlando, it apparently had no passengers, so it might have been a test flight.

No, it was a repo flight.  They were moving the plane to a short-term storage location.

 

And as NB2 says, terrible reporting, as the engine incident has nothing to do with the MCAS issues.

It is not clear if Tuesday's emergency landing was related to suspected problems with the aircraft. An investigation into the crashes focuses on an automated anti-stall system and not engine problems.

Actually, it is VERY clear.  Even Stevie Wonder can see it’s not related.  Ole Reliable, that CNN...

Not only that I am sure the pilots were using an abundance of caution I would imagine management had told them to abort if the toilet makes a funny sound when flushing 

 

I bet those guys flying the plane empty thought they had an f15 LOL

If the toilet flushed on an empty plane and I was the pilot, I might beat the plane to the ground...

I am guessing on a empty flight they have 2 pilots and ????? Surely more than 2

 

It was just an example anyway.  Name some other warning that may occur that would not make you divert but might in a plane with some much attention on it right now

I knew what you meant, I was playing with you.

 

But typically when a flight is flown like that, it falls under part 91, and only requires the 2 pilots.  Now if anyone rides along, say a couple mechanics or such, then they would have to add a flight attendant.

That's women's work.

And how dare you sexistly presume that the mechanics are male?!

Pretty much.  No different from any other airplane ride, except that there is a little bit more room in a 737 than in a C-172.

It only takes 1 person to fly a C 172..It takes 2 to legally to fly a 737. I was asking if there are only 2 people on the entire plane, can one pilot leave the cockpit for anyy period of time.

Don’t see why both can’t step into the back and dance together, if they so desire?

Pilots are overrated.   Autonomous cockpits are where it's at!
