Ukuchonga ukuba ingaba iinqwelo-moya zengingqi ziyahlangabezana nenqanaba elifanayo lokhuseleko njengabaphathi abakhulu “kubalulekile” njengoko abaphandi behlola ingozi yenqwelo-moya iPinnacle Airlines Corp. eyabulala abantu abangama-50, latsho ilungu lebhodi yezokhuseleko e-US.
Ilungu leBhodi yoKhuseleko kuThutho kuZwelonke uKitty Higgins ubuze umongameli wenqwelomoya namhlanje ukuba kukho umahluko kumvuzo, uqeqesho, ukucwangciswa kwabasebenzi kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo yokuhamba phakathi kwezi ntlobo zimbini. I-NTSB igqibe iintsuku ezintathu zokumanyelwa eWashington ngengozi.
Ibhodi ivavanya ukuqesha kunye noqeqesho kwiyunithi yasePinnacle's Colgan kunye nokuba kunokwenzeka impazamo yokuqhuba kunye nokudinwa kwengozi kaFebruwari ngaseBuffalo, eNew York. Umphathi wengingqi wayebhabha kwi-Continental Airlines Inc.
"Lo ngumba ophambili kule ngozi," utshilo u-Higgins. "Ngaba sinenqanaba elinye lokhuseleko?"
URory Kay, usihlalo wokhuselo lomoya kuMbutho wabaqhubi beenqwelo moya, uphendule wathi, "Hayi."
USenator Byron Dorgan, iNorth Dakota yeDemokhrasi nosihlalo wekomitana yeeNdlu yeeNgwevu, uthe uzakubamba uthotho lweengxoxo ezimalunga nokhuselo lomoya ukuphendula "ulwazi olothusayo nolothusayo" kwiiseshoni ze-NTSB.
Inqwelomoya iBombardier Inc. iDash 8 Q400 yaphahlazeka ngoFebruwari 12 eClarence Centre, eNew York. Abafileyo babandakanya umntu omnye emhlabeni kunye nabo bonke abantu abangama-49 ababekhwele kwinqwelomoya. I-NTSB ayizukukhupha izigqibo zayo kwiinyanga ezininzi.
Umqhubi wenqwelomoya, uMarvin Renslow, khange achaze ukuba woyisakele kuvavanyo lwenqwelomoya kwiinqwelomoya ezincinci xa wayefaka isicelo eColgan ngo-2005, ngokwePinnacle. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba wayediniwe ngomhla wengozi, njengoko wangena kwinkqubo yekhompyuter yenkampani nge-3: 10 kusasa, ngokwe-NTSB.
Ukuhamba umgama omde
Abaqhubi beenqwelo moya beenqila zezona ziphakathi kwezona zihlawulwa kancinci kolu shishino, kwaye ilungu le-NTSB uDebbie Hersman ubuze namhlanje ukuba ingaba imivuzo yabo ingabanyanzela na ukuba bahambe imigama emide baye emisebenzini yabo, bonyusa umngcipheko wokufika kwabo emsebenzini bediniwe.
URebecca Shaw, umlingane we-Colgan flight, wasuka eSeattle, apho wayehlala khona nabazali bakhe, emsebenzini eNewark, eNew Jersey, ngomhla wengozi. Ubhabhe ubusuku bonke ekhwele iinqwelomoya zeFedEx Corp ukuza kufika ngaphambi kwentsimbi yesi-6: 30 kusasa, ngokwe-NTSB. Imiyalezo ebhaliweyo kunye nemisebenzi yakhe emini ibonisa ukuba ebengenalo ixesha lokulala, ubungqina be-NTSB bubonisa.
UShaw, 24, wayenomvuzo wonyaka wama- $ 23,900, isithethi sasePinacle uJoe Williams uthe nge-imeyile izolo. Umndilili kapteni kuhlobo lwenqwelomoya ebandakanyeka engozini yi- $ 67,000, utshilo.
Umsebenzi weVenkile yeKofu
Kwangoko ngexesha likaShaw eColgan, wasebenza “ngokufutshane” kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngeveki kwivenkile yekofu njengomsebenzi wesibini xa engabhadanga, ngokweNTSB.
Abaqhubi beenqwelomoya beenqila beenqwelomoya bahlawulwa ngaphantsi koogxa babo kwizithuthi ezinkulu ngokuyinxenye kuba bahlala beneminyaka embalwa yenkonzo kwaye babhabha iinqwelomoya ezincinci.
Igosa lokuqala elineminyaka emihlanu linamava lenza i-avareji ye- $ 84,300 ngonyaka kwindiza enkulu efana ne-Continental okanye i-Delta Air Lines Inc., ngelixa igosa lokuqala ePinnacle elineminyaka efanayo yokusebenza lenza i-32,100 yeedola, ngokwe-AIR Inc. , Inkampani esekwe e-Atlanta elandelela ukuhlawulwa komqhubi.
U-Hersman uthe i-imeyile ayifumene kumqhubi wenqwelomoya kwiCandelo leComair eDelta ukhalaze ngelithi amalungu angama-301 e-cockpit-crew ayefuduselwa eNew York esuka eCincinnati.
Ngelixa amaxabiso asekhaya eqhutywa malunga ne-131,000 yeedola eCincinnati, abiza malunga ne-437,000 yeedola kwindawo yaseNew York, utshilo. "Ngokucacileyo kuzakubakho inkcitho eyonyukayo yabantu."
Ukuthenga amatikiti
Abathengi bahlala bethenga amatikiti kumphathi omkhulu ukuze baqonde kamva ukuba bahamba ngenqwelomoya, utshilo uHiggins.
Uthenge itikiti eColgan, uthenga itikiti kwilizwekazi lase-Continental, utshilo.
USenator uDorgan uthe ezi ndibano uceba ukujongana nezokhuseleko kwezokundiza “ingakumbi ngokubhekisele kwiinqwelo moya zabakhweli kodwa hayi ngokukodwa.”
Uxelele iintatheli namhlanje kwinkomfa yoonondaba ukuba ufuna ukujonga ukuba iimeko ezikhokelele kwingozi yaseBuffalo yayikukuphambuka na okanye yayiyinxalenye yepateni enkulu kwishishini leenqwelo moya.
"Ngokuqinisekileyo ndinexhala lokuba inokusebenza ngokubanzi," utshilo. Ayizonjongo zam ukoyikisa. ”
Ingozi kaColgan ayisiyiyo yokuqala yenqila evavanywe yibhodi kule minyaka idlulileyo.
Abaqhubi beenqwelo moya beComair basebenzise indlela engalunganga yenqwelomoya eyabulala abantu abangama-49 eKentucky ngo-2006 ngenxa yokusilela kwabo ukusebenzisa izibane, imiqondiso kunye nezinye izixhobo zokuchonga indawo abakuyo, i-NTSB yagqiba.
I-Airlines yabhabha ngo-2004, yabulala abantu abali-13, eKirksville, eMissouri, kuba abaqhubi beenqwelomoya babengayilandeli inkqubo kwaye babhabha ngenqwelomoya behla kakhulu emithini, ngokweNTSB.
Ukudibanisa amachaphaza
Usihlalo obambeleyo we-NTSB uMark Rosenker uxelele oonondaba ukuba "khange sikwazi ukudibanisa la machaphaza" ukufumanisa ukuba abathwali bengingqi abakhuselekanga kangako kuneenqwelo moya ezinkulu. Iingozi ezibini zakutshanje zenqwelomoya zibhodi iphanda ukubandakanyeka kwezithuthi ezinkulu-i-Continental jet ngoDisemba kwisikhululo senqwelomoya saseDenver kunye nenqwelomoya ye-US Airways Group Inc. eyathi yaphosa umlambo i-Hudson River eNew York ngoJanuwari.
U-Les Dorr, osisithethi se-Federal Aviation Administration, uthe kudliwanondlebe ukuba abathwali bengingqi kunye neenqwelomoya ezinkulu kufuneka bahlangabezane nemigangatho efanayo yokhuseleko.
UColgan utshilo izolo ukuba ibonelela kabini i-FAA- ixesha elifunekayo loqeqesho lwabasebenzi bohlobo lwenqwelomoya kwingozi kaFebruwari.
"Iinkqubo zethu zoqeqesho lwabasebenzi ziyahlangabezana okanye zigqithise kwiimfuno zolawulo kuzo zonke iinqwelomoya," utshilo uColgan kwingxelo.
'Bakhethelwe Ngaphandle'
Umzi mveliso wenqwelomoya wenqwelomoya "ukhethwe ngokungafanelekanga," utshilo uRoger Cohen we-Regional Airline Association, iqela loshishino, kudliwanondlebe.
"Ngokucacileyo sijonge kwizifundo esizifundileyo koku," utshilo uCohen ngengozi kaColgan. “Phambi kwale ngozi, besigxile kuyo yonke imiba ephakanyiswe apha ngexesha lophando lwe-NTSB. Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba amalungu eenqwelo-moya angamalungu ethu asebenza phantsi kwemithetho efanayo ”njengabaphathi abakhulu.
