| Hey XZW, I just read your comments about Hainan airlines. I had the same experience! Some of their pilots are a bit too 'forceful' at the control of the aircraft - I know that their Boeing 737-800s are nice and new and handles well but they tend to fly them like Migs! I've also had a scare flying from ShenZhen to Hainan with them - the pilot did not extend the flaps until the last second before turning onto the run way. I wonder if he's forgot it onthe check list :(. On the otehr hand, the return flight from hainan to Shanghai I had was one of the most smooth flight I've been on, it's on an ancient 737-200 (must be nearly 20 years old!). But the pilots skills were fantastic, everything was gently handled. |
