  • Just because of that extreme incident with Singapore Airlines, every occurrence of turbulence has now become newsworthy.
  • For all you blaming Boeing, Air Bus also encounters it, there not really a way to forecast clear air turbulence. That’s why the flight attendants will usually tell you to keep your seatbelt fashioned unless you’re actually getting up to use the lavatory.
  • @babypopgenius

    The sky is turning into a Bermuda Triangle like issue crazy
  • @MrTM-fg6zn
    I've noticed on the freeway there's some abnormal air pockets
  • Idiots criticizing all flight attendance for doing their job or someone using the bathroom on a long flight. Are you certain that the only people who got hurt were those who were sitting and chose to not wear a belt? You’d be wrong!
  • We also seem to have a new generation of pilots that aren't equipped for handling rough flight. Many of the older pilots retired during covid, they steadied the course.
