But boy, oh boy. Say this to a believer and get ready to loose an afternoon.

I’d probably pay $15 alone for that. Looks like a lot of (frustrating) fun

It did, but Sir Floofy butt enjoyed the second round of pets.

Also, love the pet love this post generated. Keep being awesome!

Multiple plaintiffs in a single case, similar to a class action. I think OPs point still stands.

Yeah, sometimes. I live in a country with strict gun laws though, so I’m less concerned about getting shot than I am about getting hit by lightening.

Do you routinely walk into open expanses during electrical storms?

yes, had they followed the tcas, the accident might have been avoided.

There it is. I’m glad we could finally come to an agreement. Thanks for the entertainment.

Is that some kind of a faux pas? I don’t know who mentor pilot is

Yours wasn’t a question, it was a statement, and a wrong one. TCAS adherence wasn’t fundamentally changed after the accident in question, but it brought to light it’s importance.

So let’s come back to the original argument: following the erroneous instructions of atc over the TCAS resulted in the accident - if they had followed TCAS, like the DHL crew, they’d be alive.

Edit: posted two answers by accident. Deleted one

According to the wiki..

TCAS was a relatively new technology at the time of the accident, having been mandatory[Note 2] in Europe since 2000.

Two years prior to the accident, in Europe, where the accident happened.
