cover up ?

[crazyaviator]

Just because someone exercises their rights does not mean that there is a cover up or a conspiracy. Damn!!!!!!

I agree!

In our litigious state everyone is told NOT to talk to the media,,,,Look at Air Transat and the drunken pilot,,,,,they LIED to the travelling public!

Look at a certain financial institution saying that they never bother clients for insurance or other schemes or never threaten employees if they don't upsell !

What is wrong with a GOOD company saying that they had a mechanical problem or that there was a non-mechanical error on the DC-3T ?

The public is the last to know about ANYTHING ,,,, Look at the flu vaccines and the insurance scheme in the usa used to cover up the incidences of damage and death !!!

People are getting tired of the wait like a corralled sheep mentality until the "report" comes out ,,,,generally a sanitized report that is vetted by all the "stakeholders" and modified as required to be palatable for the masses!

The media has been doing just what you are asking, for a decade. They bring in taking head idiots who make shit up. Hell just look at the Malaysian Airlines incident. I watched countless morons predict everything from depressurization. Shot down, taken to a secret airport in the middle east, an inter dimensional wormhole, aliens and on and on. Proper Investigations take time. Swissair 111 had to be painstakingly pieced together. The world of 24 hour Breaking News and world wide web has created a need for instant gratification. Aircraft Accidents are not entertainment however. They tend to be a series of things leading to impact. In the case of this DC3. It happened 10 working days ago. People need to calm down.

In most instances I don't believe there's a cover up, except for maybe the odd DC-8 in Gander that caused CASB (http://www.sandford.org/gandercrash/main/index.shtml) to be destroyed..... The investigations do sometimes seem to take longer than expected. For example, it's been ~2 years since Carson Air's Swearingen SA-226-TC Metro II's inflight breakup and still nothing official out on it. While this is baffling, it just seems to be the way it is with TSB.

Where is the cover up?

Most company's, and I bet this one included, have a policy for employees regarding social media.

Mine does, I'm sure everyone can guess where I work based on my handle. The public have a bad habit of jumping to conclusions based only on speculation. These conclusions can be unfairly damaging to companies.

Look at Porter a few years back when a PVI was leaked. We were down with Keystone after that sheeit. Same thing happened to Wasaya with a leaked PVI and some uninformed armchair quarterbacking. I read that leak, seriously a garbage can in front of a fire extinguisher and the news (and TC) conclude that they're planes are going to fall out of the sky???????? That made them unsafe??? I put APTN down with Fox News for that stellar reporting.

When it comes to media, spoon feed them only proven facts when the time is right.

As for that DC3. Wasn't that like a week ago? Little early for facts to be proven, though it appears the armchair quarterbacks on Avcanada have it figured out. Assholes.

That Dc-3T was ferry flown the other day. The answers are already known ,,,,but alas, lets wait 2 years for the official report !!!

Does that last line comply with your company's social media policy?

[Jean-Pierre]

Good point actually. You just inferred you work for Porter then proceed to use curse word toward people that discuss possible cause of a accident. On a accident forum. It is you who need a lecture about social media policy.

[photofly]

You inferred; he implied.

Here`s the Vancouver Sun article........ http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news ... er-in-2015

Just read the Vancouver Sun article.

One of the statements; alcoholism=suicidal behavior? I am no expert, seems to me that you could pull the plug through much easier methods than climbing into an airplane to do the deed. Why go through all of that trouble?

I dunno , does not sound kosher to me.

[anofly]

This one is just sad. condolences.
possibly a few folks are relieved to hear the aircraft did not fall apart , while being flown in accordance with the operating manual. Airframe failure is not very forgiving.
