The future of flying

Why do these radar screen graphics look like they are from computers from 40 years ago ?

Because FAA's information systems are extremely slow to modernize ATC's (air traffic control) aging computer systems. The entire systems need to be revamped.

The FAA's system modernization projects for ATC won't be complete for at least another 15 years.

Don't fix what ain't broke. Good thing the ATC computers didn't run on the same platform as the computers running the arrival and departure displays at the airports last July.

Trump blames crash on FAA recruitment.

This guy had a better breakdown of the crash than anything I've seen on the news -

Trump blames crash on FAA recruitment.

Edit.

Last year, I reported on a tip from a United pilot that a near-fatal incident in Houston was the result of a fired employee being rehired through their DEI programI was told I was a lying racist.The Houston 767 incident report is out. I was 100% right:"The first officer’s training records showed inconsistencies in airplane handling as recent as a few months before the accident. He received an unsatisfactory performance rating and, upon re-evaluation, a satisfactory rating with a condition to recheck after 90 days (instead of 9 months). This was due to, among other things, marginal performance with landings."

Edit II.

If you have the time, taking the train (Amtrak) is the way to go. Much more enjoyable experience than flying.

Sad. Young guys doing grunt work of building time

I never had a fear of flying until I had kids... and then the planes started falling out of the sky.

(I'm getting sick of people and these channels on the tubes or whatever saying that driving is soooo much safer than flying)

Euro media says everyone is dead RIP to you who didn't stand a chance.

I much prefer the back road with my kids in my 3t rig I'll tell you that even if it takes 8 times longer.

* I obviously meant to say that I'm tired of everyone saying that "flying is so much safer than driving".

(My auto correct changed it again for some reason, so I had to edit)

We are planning a trip away from this big Island and I'm seriously considering taking a ship. Unfortunately there are none unless you want to take a cruise. Ferries charters etc all seem to be a thing of the past for a family of 6.

I love aviation but you never know what pilot or other "interesting" folk you'll have to deal with during the whole ordeal.

Does anyone have experience with freighters perhaps? From my experience enquiring they don't take kids though.

Because they are from 50 years ago and they work. This accident has nothing to do with that and that's why people should be rightfully angry (like Trump).

So all of the pilots were well qualified, it's 100% the air traffic controllers fault. The FAA is most likely to blame.

500 hours on a chopper is not that many hours, it's like her second or third year.

The helo pilot may have been a tranny in training, see DEI thread. They’ve identified one pilot but not the other.

Edit: apparently the tranny pilot info is false/unconfirmed.

It was definitely intentional, without a doubt. There seems to be some type of coordinated - attack? protest? - plans by Trantifa Militants who are upset and triggered at Trump and his agenda.
