  1. I agree to a point, but I think there was only one thought of how to deal with the passengers, and the report of the aircraft being take to 45000 feet. Time of useful consciousness at that altitude is very short. From Wiki FL 350 30 sec to 60 sec 10,668 m 35,000 FL 400 15 to 20 sec 12,192 m 40,000 FL 430 9 to 15 sec 13,106 m 43,000 It was after midnight .. most passengers were asleep already after 1 AM on a redeye out over the ocean with no cell towers. Not a single call sat phone or otherwise someone was very effective in silencing 230+ people and a great way to do that is to take the aircraft up and let the cabin pressure drop after disabling the cabin O2 masks. Its amazingly quick. and you do not need to be there for long and they passengers are no longer a problem for the hijackers... On the theory of killing the passengers via rapid depressurization, I'm thinking the authorities should be keeping their eyes open for a mass grave as well. If the passengers aren't still with that aircraft, that is. Always be kinder than you feel.
  2. You're probably right. Always be kinder than you feel.
  3. Keep an eye on eBay. Always be kinder than you feel.
  4. Uhm.... Well, I'm out of energy and suggestions. Always be kinder than you feel.
  5. Go to the Ranch's Facebook page and post your questions, pictures of your container and canopy there. Post it everywhere you think it could be. Did you check the Classifieds here? If you want your gear back that bad you'll leave no stone unturned in putting the word out. Skydivers are a pretty tight group. If someone has seen your gear they'll tell you, even if it's to stick it up your rigger's ass because they may think he's a dick. Always be kinder than you feel.
  6. Oh no!!! We're getting it on Monday all day. Boo! Hope you're having fun!! Plaid Always be kinder than you feel.
  7. Drop your purse That's your husband, right? That makes it ok. Always be kinder than you feel.
  8. I bet they'll be many extremely stupid guys, w/exceedingly poor taste. FIFY FIFied your FIFY Let's see if she ends up in a trailer park, w/an alcoholic husband... Truthfully, I hope she goes to college on her own dime, forges a great career, marries, has some kids and they do to her what she did to her parents. Always be kinder than you feel.
  9. I wasn't trying to imply that I thought both crewmembers were involved. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I wasn't exactly referring to your post, it was more of a thought process that I haven't read or heard any of the talking heads mention the pilot and copilot fly together often. I'd think I'd remember that if I heard it. Meaning, were they friends outside of work? Same social circle, same religious or political views, that kind of stuff. Always be kinder than you feel.
  10. I didn't notice any information on how often the "missing" pilot and co-pilot fly together? For some reason I thought you didn't always know who was going to be on your crew. Always be kinder than you feel.
  11. Time to get your party on! Thanks!!! It looks awesome!!!!!!!!!! I hope you're having fun!!! Did anyone else dye? Post up fellas!!
  12. +1 Having a rigging professional as a mediator is advantageous. No one wants to be embarrassed in front of their colleagues. I'm glad he posted.
