Talk:Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 529
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've edited this for the following reasons:
- It's not Wikipedia precedent to give the names of crew on an accident aircraft, especially if they survived and especially if their actions didn't contribute to the accident. The only exception I can think of is when crew members are verifiably singled out by a notable third party for conspicuous bravery (such as is the case with the crew of United Airlines Flight 232). In this case, the first officer is still alive.
- The numbers of dead and injured that were originally in the article were completely different than those in the NTSB report. The report quoted eight officially dead with one person dying after the 30-day period. That makes nine unofficially, eight officially. I'm not sure where ten came from.
- I'm not sure what "it was already scheduled for its last flight" meant. Commercial aircraft are normally scheduled weeks in advance. (In fact, that's what I do for a living.) The Flight 529 aircraft probably had 70 or more flights scheduled in the next month. That's standard procedure. --Charlene 17:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
