Better start paying the pilots at a rate which doesn't drive them to suicide.

If I were a Southeast Asian airline CEO, I would be pushing to rename my company to something unrecognizable as Asian. Atlantic Airways. Air Oceanus. (Don't wanna use Oceanic. Flight 815, ya dig.)

Just my first impression with (very) limited facts, but I'm thinking the incident is more like AF447 than MH370.

I hope there is more information available soon, perhaps maintenance squawks, or more analysis of the pitot problem and the avionics on the Airbus product.

I'd really caution against comparing to MH370 till we know more, that Air France loss, so far, is a better match for what little we have to work with.

Let's wait until more concrete information emerges before determining if it is even seemly to be pointing fingers.

Arrgh I was hoping to see some bermuda-triangle conspiracy theorists, or at least ancient aliens. Oh well, maybe they just got raptured.

Quote:The search has resumed for AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ8501, which has gone missing with 162 people on board, an Indonesian official has said.

The Airbus A320-200 disappeared over the Java Sea early on Sunday en route to Singapore from Surabaya, Indonesia.

They bought their sat navs off ebay.
