Talk:Continental Airlines Flight 1713

Changes in Continental Policy
In the article it said Continental Airlines would "...developed a computerized assignment program that would keep pilots with less than 100 hours flying time in type from being assigned to the same flight."

I don't see how that would have changed anything on this flight. The captain had over 100 hrs. The first officer had less than 100 hrs. So keeping "pilots with less than 100 hours flying time in type from being assigned to the SAME flight" would still have permitted the same first officer in the cockpit with the same captain, as the captain had over 100 hrs. Perhaps going to the source, in this case the AP article published by the NYT, might clear up exactly how Continental thought this would have made any difference. However, while I value the concept behind "know thy enemy," I do maintain a standing practice of NEVER visiting the NYT, for a wide variety of sickening reasons which I'm sure is more than obvious to anyone who cares about this country. Maybe someone who can stand the HS there could read AP's old article and find out why Continental felt their "computerized assignment program" would have made a difference, or in any way have mitigated the risks associated with this tragic accident. Right now the way it reads isn't making sense. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.166.26.178 (talk) 02:17, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

From the linked article: "Captain Zvonek had flown 12,125 hours in all aircraft, but had only 133 hours in a DC-9 as a co-pilot and 33 hours as a captain, investigators said." Perhaps the intent was to keep captains with fewer than 100 captain hours in type from being paired up with similarly inexperienced copilots. Moioci (talk) 21:53, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

No coordinates listed
Most accident flights have the coordinates where the flight ended up. Not this page. Since Stapelton doesn't exist anymore, maybe a map of the airport showing the accident location would help. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:51, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
