This reeks the same way the Ethiopian flight 302 did. A ton of people initially believed that the pilots committed suicide until it was revealed that there was a misbehaving system that wasn’t properly recorded on the black boxes.

What they have right now is that the data on the black boxes Doesn’t indicate a mechanical failure. That doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

As you pointed out it could be fatigue. I talked with a pilot that’s the one a 787. He mentioned the detent system in the fuel cutoff valve can weaken over time causing them to be easily tripped.

We have no idea what the scheduling of these people like it could also be due to fatigue which would mean they are not at fault.

I called you out on this comment being racist because it feels racist to accuse these Indian Pilots of committing suicide when they have such extensive records, the 787 has already had several whistleblowers come out on it and it’s had to be grounded for other issues, it’s made by Boeing who seems to suck at making planes, There is absolutely no proof a suicidal intention from their personal life or professional life.

To keep claiming this is a pilot suicide Is extraordinarily disrespectful To the pilots who lost their lives in this crash.

When these type of crashes happen in the United States we don’t immediately turn around and claim pilot suicide. We wait and see the way we’re supposed to instead of speculating.

If you don’t want to get called out for racism don’t act racist.

Unfortunately I have bad news for you A lot of the time these countries are worse when it comes to Mental Health in the FAA.

I try to get a simple recreational pilot license that they got very upset with my history of anxiety. I’d have to get reevaluated every 6 months by a state psychologist on my own dime continue to fly.

Still there there’s not any evidence indicating any sort of mental health history. Like the pilot of MH370 supposedly lost all of his money and a bunch of bad trades. Not only that they found the exact flight the plane seems to have taken on the dude’s personal simulator.

Before we judge this to be a suicide let’s at least wait to hear about the Pilot’s personal lives and what conditions they were in.

I do get where so many people are coming from in this but it is so disrespectful to the pilots and their families to just immediately assume that this is a suicide when there’s not even good speculative evidence for it

Really, there’s evidence that the switch was purposely flipped to commit suicide?

I didn’t see that in the report.

Tell you what.

Why don’t you take this as an opportunity to prove to everyone that you’re not baselessly slandering these pilots.

Support this opinion with a quote from some sort of evidence.

Because otherwise you look like a racist dick.

There’s absolutely no proof that these Pilots were suicidal. I think speculation of such is disrespectful until further evidence shows such things such as in the case of MH 370 which is highly speculated with a lot of evidence to be a pilot suicide.

If that does not take away from the fact that these Pilots were very well skilled.

If the company is at fault it’s due to over scheduling since preliminary report indicates no mechanical failures.

Not likely. These things are checked before every flight.

China is looking at this like

And he’s going to die soon anyway so hopefully he just strings them along and never pays the fee. Fuck the government that cares more about furniture than it does about kids and the courts that enforce the nonsense rules

Companies only answer to profit and unfortunately we get to see the results. Can’t have those proles making 250 million dollars now. That would eat into the profits of our shareholders.

Thats what happens when DOGE fires a bunch of NOAA meteorologists.

Idk. Seems like this was occurring in 2012 too.

Look at the United Kingdom giving the United States a run for their money.

Right but they would still have time to respond on top of that it’s not like the US is very close to China. And even if we did send her aircraft carriers in to go mess with China that would be a really hard fight for the United states. I don’t think it would go well.

On top of the fact that China really wants the US position in the world to be weak. It would be very beneficial for China to be the strongest and take over that title because it sure as shit isn’t going to Russia right now

Given that China has the world’s seconds largest economy and they are trying to break into all of the foreign markets the US is currently in I don’t think they care.

I’m sure some of them care about their portfolio but that’s going to look great under Trump.

I think for them if the US goes full fascist it’s a win-win.

As long as we’re focused on our own internal politics and not messing with China or trying to disable their economy I really really don’t think they care.

Edit: Do you guys at least have a source on this claim that China wants a stable us?

Uh I don’t think so. I think China wants to see the us position significantly weakened.

Why on earth do they want a stable Us?

Russia will not cut off China especially with the western sanctions. That would be russia cutting off their nose to spite their face.

It seems China is hoping to weaken us imperialism and it would make sense they would wanna see a Russian Victory. That directly weaken US force projection and put a us proxy on its backfoot.

Edit:

Lots of conjecture yet no sources China really wants the US stable. I really don’t think so.

And here I thought the US was the one that treated our indigenous citizens like crap
