I was supposed to fly a business partner on that flight, but we changed it to NY last week. (Thank g-d, not a lot of people were hurt!)

Pilot in commend (co-pilot) had only 43 hours on the Boeing 777, and this was his first landing at SFO

flying in a jew on shabbos, especially for business is not the greatest key to success, but he definitely had a big nes which might do something to him...

This guy was not a n00b. Every pilot has a first landing at some point.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Did anyone else see the email from the former former United pilot about Korean pilot training? Anyone a bit edgy about flying a Korean airline in the future?

Was the focus once in an unexplainable accident with a Korean Air Cargo in STN in the late 90s. They were banned from the US & Europe.
