I made a video of how it could’ve shaken down.

I wonder if because the flight was delayed, the AA crew did not get updated on delayed flights and saw a transponder/aircraft they did not expect to be there?

I think it pure insanity to have departed under those conditions.   Put me in jail if you want but I’m staying on the ground.

I avoided trans-oceanic routes in the latter part of my career... seniority has its perks.
But if I were still doing international flying, I would draw a 1000 mile border around the edges of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Fire me of you want but my airplane doesn't enter that area.

Yep.   Same here.   I avoid all those places.

Reminds me of my last trip into Beirut about 18 months ago.   My co-Captain and I saw a streak of light in the night sky along the shoreline a number of miles away to the south and we both swore it was a SAM.  Really got our attention.   Fatigue?   What fatigue?

Do a search.  It’s a laser pointer to drive the media cats nuts.

I did. I got a 'Best Tweets by Trump' result. What does it stand for?

Iran has finally admitted accidentally shooting down the airline. 138 dead Canadian + Iranian/Canadians. We hope the politics of this entire situation was worth the lives lost and families destroyed.

Politics?


Iran is a terrorist regime.   If they're not confronted by the free world you're gonna lose a lot more than 138 lives.

POTUS did EXACTLY the right thing.   This is Iran's fault alone.

That's racist.  I'm going to have to notify Zack, our Minister of Judgement of Appropriate Memes.

$1.7 billion in pallets of cash, loaded on a jet, as a secret payoff (to get around public disapproval and perhaps, you know, "laws") to a terrorist-sponsoring country while it was under US sanctions (for among other things developing nuclear weapons) and whose motto is "death to America".  What's not to like?
