Hi Brian,
Well, normally this type of crash can occur in different scenarios ... Can occur climbing, taking off, cruising, landing, etc ... So, the destination or departure airport can or can't be resposible.
We will leave it this way. Only the airplane will be dismissed, so, let's hope all of us don't crash too many of them ;D
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
just thought up an idea, it was mentioned in the email that maintenance needs to be carried out on the planes once in a while. how about allowing maintenance flights to be flown by pilots from any airport straight to a hub (eg the flight may not have to be in the timetable) when a certain amount of operating miles have been reached? and then maybe an award can be set aside for pilots who regularly do maintenance flights etc
Edit : and oh if possible please report crashes of planes and buying of new planes in the news :] :P
EHM-0948 Bruno:
The first part has some logic although it means that for that plane to be available again is conditioned by if thew pilot make that fligtht or not.
The extreme case, imagine that we have only one LSZH 747, and that he is in need to go to maintenance and no one place it on LSZH. So, no one would fly it because the airplane doesnt go to maintenace.
Airplanes go to maintenance in a automatic or manual way. Automatic the the pilot makes some penalties that could bring tha airplane so damaged that it go automatically to maintence. Manually if the Fleet Manager sees that that airplane has made so much hours that his reability factor is so low and that that airplane can have failures on flight.
About report crashes on the news it is already done. There are a news section on PP (independent from the main page new ones) that will tell you that :)
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
what i meant was that the plane would be scheduled for maintenance but could still fly (as requiring maintenance does not necessarily mean that it's spoiled, though with heightened likelyhood of failures occuring, if that is possible to implement) so that doesnt seem to be a likely problem

wow, this keeps getting better all the time
