This is amazing. People from the UK - home of the most outrageous and inaccurate journalism ever are apparently a little to used to that. Well this just in

There are places in the world where we have more than 4 BBC TV stations and a bunch of tabloid rags and there is actually a little objectivity in reporting. As a result, we get more than Chinese whispers and gossip to live by. There are actually people on this side of the Atlantic that know how to fly the 777......in fact it was MADE here. Not that you guys would know that while your still watching Friends reruns from 1993 on BBC 1 and BBC 2.
Oh and let me not forget that B737 SIMS are located "at every flying school to anyone with money". That's funny......I mean we hardly have those everywhere in the US and everyone knows that anything you need is SOOOO much more available in the good ol' UK
Here's a question for Panic Nation. You make a lot of speculation for a 747 pilot about what could/would/might have happened. What should have happened? What's the procedure in such a case on
your 747? Nose up? Nose down? Throw your hands up and run? I'm sure a power loss on final is in your training.....what do you do? If you fly a 747 and don't know, I'm not riding.
