Air Asia pilot tells passengers to pray

Post by violet » Fri Jun 30, 2017 2:39 pm

And gets praised....
AIRASIA boss Tony Fernandes has lavished heartfelt praise on the pilot and crew of D7237 after the midair drama off Western Australia.
Despite widespread condemnation of the captain for telling passengers to pray for their survival when an engine malfunctioned and the A330 began shaking severely, Fernandes said he was “super proud of Captain Ibrahim”.
AirAsia don’t make engines and all airlines have engine failures. But when it does happen it takes great pilots and great leadership in times of crisis. I’m beaming with pride,” Mr Fernandes declared

It's Air Asia. Every day without a crash is a big achievement for them especially during the rainy season.

The planes are fine when first purchased. The maintenance is shit and the pilots poorly trained. That's why they're banned from the US and EU.

Actually, you're incorrect. The FAA has approved AirAsia to fly in the US. Pick a source:

Oh and it looks like you're wrong about the EU as well:
