Just saying they didn't HAFTA have it for seemingly such a simple approach
with runway in sight from many miles out. 'Understood they were cleared for
visual approach. Were they depending on ILS or some other system, anyway,
and allowing aircraft to take certain steps automatically without any
monitoring? Cockpit was evidently filled with men of MANY hours of
experience. Couldn't at least ONE of 'em have monitored airspeed and
altitude? How much experience does it take to read airspeed and altitude?
Not much.

Yeah, how many WEEKS is is OK to leave something like that unfixed at
an oceanfront international airport with SFO's traffic volume?
Mitch.
What do you expect form a goobermnt that can't do anything it is
supposed to (and required to) do (at great expense), but does all kinds
of nefarious stuff it is prohibited from doing at great expense?

Loren:
Is SFO run by the same people that run BART?
Wilton:
Are you saying that visual is preferred and they wouldn't have used ILS if
available, or are you saying that a pilot with a non-zero chance of
blowing that particular visual landing has no business holding 300 lives
in his hands?
