Dear all, I have privy knowledge that Boeing's manufacturing contractors might cut costs at their sites and use inferior parts like nuts and screws. Although these items are non essential they add to the sum of total.
2nd, the pilots for SQ321 must face inquiry as to why there was no early response to turbulence ahead. This is unacceptable as passengers' lives esp AMDK not sinkies depend on you.

Are these pilots adequately trained or they are those fly by night lousy stock?

Maybe the reason why SIA made so much money (compared to other airlines) recently was due to a directive to fly the planes at a low altitude, regardless of weather condition. Saves fuel money. :wink:

Airplanes can preserve fuel by flying at lower altitudes under certain conditions, although this may not always be the case. The primary reason for potential fuel savings at lower altitudes is related to the aircraft's aerodynamic performance and the way engines operate at different altitudes.
  1. Reduced Drag: At lower altitudes, the air density is higher compared to higher altitudes. This higher air density can result in reduced drag on the aircraft, as the wings generate more lift for the same airspeed. This can allow the aircraft to fly more efficiently, requiring less power to maintain the same speed.
  2. Engine Efficiency: Jet engines are typically more efficient at lower altitudes. This is because the denser air at lower altitudes provides better combustion conditions for the engines, leading to improved fuel efficiency. Engines may be able to produce more thrust for a given amount of fuel at lower altitudes.
  3. Shorter Flight Distance: In some cases, flying at a lower altitude may result in a shorter flight distance due to more direct routing or avoiding detours caused by weather or air traffic. This can lead to fuel savings by reducing the overall flight time.
