Yeah inequality has been in play for decades but heavily since 2000s. The Great Recession and subsequently Occupy Wall Street were early reactions to the symptoms that started heavily in the 2000s but really has been in play since the 70s.

By flight level I meant from above ground level (AGL). The previous commenter was thinking we were talking about height relative to ground level. Altitude/elevation is height from sea level as specified. I used flight level more as abo

by drawkbox 8y ago
There was no confusion on that. The elevation/altitude the planes were at was near the same ranges 6000-8500 feet above sea level, flight level varied, flight level is to the ground, elevation/altitude is to sea level. Possibly th

The only way a plane would need to pitch down -49 degrees is if the plane thinks it is, or is, 40-50 degrees or more pitched up. The only thing I can think of why that would happen is a software error. Possibly the common occurrence of thes

Whatever the case the planes all had similar issues with momentary nose elevating issues, then a direct nose dive. The 767 was just taking an alternate course around weather. I find it hard to believe the 767 pilot who was very skilled dec

How strange that they both had issues at around 6000-8500 feet, briefly recovering, then nose diving. Even more interesting is the recent 767 Amazon cargo flight crash in Texas also did a node dive at around 8000 feet which somehow has esca
