China Eastern crash intentional

Flight data indicates a China Eastern Airlines plane that crashed in March was intentionally put into a nose-dive. Investigators have so far not found any mechanical or technical faults with the jet, the reports say, citing a preliminary assessment by US officials. The Boeing 737-800 was flying between the southern Chinese cities of Kunming and Guangzhou when it crashed. All 132 passengers and crew on board the plane died in the crash. "The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit", according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the story, citing a person familiar with US officials' preliminary assessment of the cause of the crash. Data from one of the plane's "black box" flight recorders, which was recovered from the crash site, suggested that inputs to the controls pushed the plane into a near-vertical dive, the report said. China Eastern Airlines previously said the three pilots on board were qualified and in good health. The airline separately told the Wall Street Journal that there was no indication that any of the pilots was in financial trouble. Last month, the CAAC said reports that the plane may have been crashed deliberately had "gravely misled the public" and "interfered with accident investigation work". Investigators are still in the process of analysing flight data and the wreckage from the crash, Chinese state media outlet the Global Times reported. It also said the CAAC will continue to "carry out the accident investigation in a scientific, rigorous and orderly manner". The Chinese embassy in Washington, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and plane maker Boeing declined to comment on the Wall Street Journal's report, due to guidelines set out by the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization.

NEWS FLASH

Montenegro’s new national carrier ToMontenegro will be branded as Air Montenegro, the company has announced. It has received over 500 proposals for its name and logo, based on an open call it issued in January. “During the selection process for the name, the expert jury had no doubts and it was their conclusion, as well as that of the majority of the public, that Air Montenegro best represents the start of a new chapter for the national carrier”, the airline said. It will select a new visual identity for the company, including its logo and livery, through an international competition.

Well...I really don't know why they changed the name again, or if there could be a better name. It is good that it has Montenegro in it...But what I know is that situation before was complicated and not really the best...I believe in positive changes.

I wonder if they will preserve the eagle/falcon logo. Looks immediately recognisable and best identifies Crna Gora.

Thank goodness for that. To Montenegro was a silly name for a national carrier.

Look forward to this absolute sham of an airline getting their aircraft repossessed upon landing at the various airports in jurisdictions that their predecessor owes money to. ...as if you can just close down a debt ridden dead airline only to re-open it a few months later without being responsible for it's debts and obligations.
