:russ: I was just talking about that with someone at my job. If he don't already by now he should know how to fly an airliner with ease.
That place is in Toronto too. So dude got flown out here, and goes from hotel to simulator and back to hotel. He really is living the life of a pilot :mjlol:

nikka will have enough flight time to fly his own 777-200ER before the year is up :dead:

Still no news but on a side note:

Flight MH370 coverage on CNN made Mitchell Casado a star | National Post

A Mississauga flight simulator business fired an instructor who figured prominently in CNN’s coverage of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, saying he showed up late to his regular job and “shamed Canadians” by dressing like a teenager.

uFly company owner Claudio Teixeira said he fired Mitchell Casado on Wednesday in part for his refusal to dress professionally and making Canadians “look very bad all over the world.”


Casado’s relaxed style of jeans and plaid shirts attracted attention during CNN’s constant coverage of the search for the missing flight.

CNN’s Martin Savidge and Casado logged many hours reporting from the fake cockpit located at the company’s office in near the Toronto airport, which has a simulator that is the same model of the lost plane.

Savidge, who had been vacationing in Australia when the plane went missing on March 8, was sent to Canada for one day on March 14 and returned home for the weekend. The response to his reports was so positive, CNN sent him back on March 17, and he stayed until Monday, April 14 — about 30 days in total. Two days later, Casado was fired.

Instead of creating graphics, Savidge said it’s valuable to show what instruments like the transponder that are talked about in news reports actually look like and where they are located in relation to a pilot.

Mostly, they use the machine to simulate what might happen under certain scenarios. He said he asked Casado off-air to show what might happen to a 777 if it ran out of fuel. It proved horrific: lights flashed, alarms sounded, the nose pointed skyward while gravity pulled the plane down. It fell backward toward the ocean.

“Even though it’s simulated, it’s quite awful to see … we made a pact that we would never, ever show something on the air like that,” Savidge said.

They logged so much airtime reporting from the fake cockpit that the hashtag #freemartinsavidge appeared on Twitter.

On Wednesday, Savidge announced that he was finally free, and heading west.

“And so let the word spread across the land Martin Savidge is free at last,” he wrote on Twitter. “Now watch where I go!” Late Wednesday night, the reporter with “pretty strong claustrophobia” announced that his next assignment will take him under the sea. Savidge is now broadcasting live from a small submarine off the coast of Vancouver, B.C.

Teixeira said Casado didn’t come to work Tuesday when customers had the simulator booked.

“This is not the first time. He’s been warned before,” he told The Associated Press.

Teixeira says he received many email complaints about the instructor’s way of dressing during the time he appeared on CNN.

“Even though I let him be on TV he shamed us Canadians and shamed my company with the way he was dressing like he was 15 years old,” he said. “People were complaining that it wasn’t professional at all … If you go to any plane you don’t see them in shorts and sandals.”


Casado, who is reportedly from Scarborough but now based in Mississauga, declined to comment when reached by AP, saying “I’m not interested in talking to you.”

They fired the homie Mitchell Casado. :laff: The dude in plaid that would operate the Flight Simulator here in Toronto, with CNN's Martin Savage beside him.

All because of his attire :dead: I thought shyt was a joke at first when I heard it :pachaha:

Company's claim that it may have found airplane wreckage disputed - CNN.com

Searchers dispute company's claim that it may have found aircraft wreckage

Near Perth, Australia (CNN) -- A private company declared that it has found what it believes is wreckage of a plane in the ocean, but leaders of the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 are dismissing the claim.

The reasons for the skepticism are obvious -- the site where GeoResonance says it found the wreckage, in the Bay of Bengal, is several thousand miles away from the current search area in the southern Indian Ocean.

The Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which is coordinating the multinational search, dismissed the claim.

"The Australian-led search is relying on information from satellite and other data to determine the missing aircraft's location," the JACC said.


"The location specified by the GeoResonance report is not within the search arc derived from this data. The joint international team is satisfied that the final resting place of the missing aircraft is in the southerly portion of the search arc."

Malaysian acting Transportation Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Malaysia "is working with its international partners to assess the credibility of this information."

GeoResonance said it analyzes super-weak electromagnetic fields captured by airborne multispectral images.

"The company is not declaring this is MH370, however it should be investigated," GeoResonance said in a statement.

The company's director, David Pope, said he did not want to go public with the information at first, but his information was disregarded.

"We're a large group of scientists, and we were being ignored, and we thought we had a moral obligation to get our findings to the authorities," he told CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday.

GeoResonance's technology was created to search for nuclear, biological and chemical weaponry under the ocean or beneath the earth in bunkers, Pope said.

The company began its search four days after the plane went missing and sent officials initial findings on March 31, Pope said. It followed up with a full report on April 15.

By going public, the company says it hopes it will spur officials to take its claim seriously.

Malaysian authorities contacted GeoResonance on Tuesday and were "very interested, very excited" about the findings, Pope said.

Inmarsat, the company whose satellite had the last known contact with MH370, remains "very confident" in its analysis that the plane ended up in the southern Indian Ocean, a source close to the MH370 investigation told CNN.

The Inmarsat analysis is "based on testable physics and mathematics," the source said, and has been reviewed by U.S., British and Malaysian authorities as well as an independent satellite company.

Aerial search ends

After seven weeks of intense but fruitless searching, the international air effort to find the plane is over. But some ships will stay on the Indian Ocean to gather any debris that might surface.

More than 600 military personnel from at least seven countries solemnly posed in front of search planes Tuesday for a commemorative photo. Some traded military patches and mulled over their disappointment in not finding the Boeing 777.

Also on Tuesday, relatives of missing passengers heard new details from officials, including audio recordings from the plane that had never been released to the public before.

The final words between the cockpit and a control tower weren't extraordinary. But after 52 days in limbo, families say they're finally starting to get some of the answers they've been looking for.

More intense underwater search

Most of the international air crews will leave the Royal Australian Air Force Base Pearce, near Perth, over the next few days.

The likelihood of finding any debris on the ocean's surface is "highly unlikely," Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Monday. By now, most of the debris is probably waterlogged and has probably sunk, he said.

So officials are moving on to the next phase: a more intense underwater search that will use private contractors and could cost about $56 million.

Crews will now scour a much larger area of the ocean floor -- 60,000 square kilometers. The process could take at least six to eight months, officials said.

The Bluefin-21 underwater probe will continue scanning the ocean floor. But the submersible couldn't search Tuesday because of weather and very high seas.

No one knows exactly what happened to Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board. The plane was headed from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing.

New details for relatives

Relatives of Chinese passengers have been furious about the perceived lack of information given by Malaysian authorities.

But on Tuesday, Malaysian officials briefed scores of family members in Beijing and played never-before-released audio of the plane's final chatter with a control tower.

"Malaysia three seven zero contact Ho Chi Minh 120.9, good night," says a voice identified by Malaysian officials as that of a radar controller in Kuala Lumpur.

"Good night Malaysian three seven zero," answers a male voice believed to be a crew member on board.

Officials also showed family members maps of the flight's route, including a questionable turn at Penang over the Strait of Malacca. That turn sent the plane veering far off course.

Malaysia Airlines representative Subas Chandran said the plane probably ran out of fuel about seven-and-a-half hours into the flight.

Such details, while sobering, were welcomed by relatives.

"They are making progress," said Jimmy Wang, a member of the families' committee aimed at seeking answers.
