The aircraft, which is a bomber Deer Q 400, that's the type that flies between Seattle and Port, and it's a turboprob, entered an aerodynamic stall from which it did not recover and crashed into a house, killing 49 passengers in a crow on board. So for those young folks out there who want to become commercial pilots who are interested in such a program, contact Mesaairlines at mesaer. Comcadetz
The whole captain silly case of landing the plane on the Hudson River, the fact that he could do something like that because he was trained and prepared to do something like that. But most pilots never have to go through something like that, right? But they still have to train for it. They have to be ready for such a scenario. And that, to me, compared to many other careers and professions that you can pick up, is just amazing

And if that's the case, are they using some of those hours to fast track people, as ours says? Can we give people these crazy scenarios in the simulators on the ground where no one is at risk, obviously, to better repair them? And what percentage of training does include hours spent in a simulator? Is that just completely not allowed? It has to be completely hours in the air

So they do practice all of those things in the simulators. They'll even simulate weather. They simulate everything. They even simulate, like, catastrophic failures, which is a very, extremely rare thing. There was a case a few years ago where there was like I forget what it was, like an engine fire or something. But regarding engine fires, they have what's called halong to help with that. And halong will put out a fire virtually instantly anyway
