RIP to both and condolences to family and friends.
I don't get why they are giving up so soon. That jumbo jet that disappeared a couple of years ago they were searching for that for months and yet they can't search more than 3 days for this plane. Rip to sala and his pilot.
The BBC are now reporting that the pilot may not have had a license to carry passengers
You answered your own question. They couldn't find a jumbo jet for years. What makes you think they will find something 1/100th the size within the same time?I don't get why they are giving up so soon.

Sorry, they just played the clip again. It is to do with him receiving payment. Apologies for the misinformation.Even with a basic PPL you can carry one passenger.
I regularly carry one. (I don’t get paid for it though)
Were you living in a cave?Been away without internet access for a few days so just getting back up to speed with events. Incredible story and so sad. Looks like both Sala and the pilot have lost their lives. RIP both.

I wish they didn't speculate until all facts are known and are 100% irrefutable.
Just a tragic case all round. Hard to believe that such things even happen in the modern day world with all the technology and safety regulations we have. Just awful - RIP to both.
I'm sorry astral, but pointing out the risks could help someone else to mitigate them. The company I work for fly employees all over the world and there are specific rules when traveling on company business. Commercial airlines where ever possible, even some airlines are banned, those with poor safety records.
In case of an airliner crash like that (I think it was A330) it is extremely important to find the cause of the crash. It is sad but air crashes contributed a lot to safety of this kind of travel. We learned a lot... That speaking I'm flying from O'Hare in a couple of hours. Hopefully you'll be hearing from me again.
I just can't get the rush of Emiliano Sala's travel. Why use a single machine small aircraft when you can book a flight on regular airline. It's not that he was going to play a game the next evening.
RIP
When I read that, I though, "Too soon?"Emiliano sounds to be a smashing fella
I said at the time i'm amazed they allowed him to fly in a small light aircraft like that.
Michael Owen bought a helicopter once to fly from his house in Cheshire to Newcastle. Newcastle told him he couldn't go in it because it breached his player insurance.
In what way?When I read that, I though, "Too soon?"
Exactly what I thought. Just get on a proper jet. At Heathrow in a few hours. Light aircraft are great for pleasure flights. But no way would I have flown from mid France at night over water, that far. Badly advised. Feel really sorry for the two who lost their lives. I hope the family’s can get some news and closure. RIPSeems an expert also agrees, TF:
There were "alarm bells all around" the incident, aviation consultant Alastair Rosenchein told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme. He said: "The one issue is whether a single-engine air craft should be flying at night, in winter, over water and with passengers. This is the real issue - it is a really bad combination."
He said despite only 1,400 of the planes being built, there was a "quite significant" number of deaths and injuries from flights involving them.
Poor humour. Ignore it.In what way?
Didnt sala fly from cardiff in a light aircraft to france?Its incredibly tragic but I was really shocked to find out what aircraft had crashed.
At first I thought Cardiff have arranged a private jet and it's come down.
From what I understand I don't think Cardiff knew it was a light aircraft he was flying over on.
Footballers just don't fly on aircraft like this. They're incredibly expensive assets to a business.

Not that I'm aware of.Didnt sala fly from cardiff in a light aircraft to france?
I just don't get how we can still lose an aeroplane.
It all adds up to exactly what it was.
An unecessary risk

Unfortunately, whatever happened, they are no longer alive, most likely drown. Very sad indeed
I thought one of the early quotes attributed to Sala was that the flight to France had been very bumpy, and that he was concerned about the flight back?Didnt sala fly from cardiff in a light aircraft to france?

Hmmm. McKay already trying to squirm. Doesn't sit right. Too soonSounds like Willie McKay (well known agent, his son plays for Cardiff) booked the flight and offered to pay for it - Emiliano Sala's messages with agent's son organising flight revealed
Just hope the inquest can get to the bottom of this, surely somebody has cut some corners somewhere, resulting in 2 tragic deaths.
The searches were primarily about finding people alive. Sadly there is now no real prospect of that. What you are asking for is likely to involve serious expense (and bluntly public services are hardly swimming in spare cash) with limited chance of success.I get they are most likely not alive anymore. However I still think 3 days is nothing. If it was a relative of mine I would like the body back to some closure. They could have at least looked for 2 weeks.
Just looked him up. Him and his twin Paul both started at Doncaster but never played.
Then they both went to
Ilkeston and jack played 5 games (didn’t score) and Paul never played.
Then they both got given 2 and a half year deals by Leeds in January 2016 but neither ever played for them.
Then jack went to Scottish league 1 in January 2017, scoring 1 goal in 15 games.
Then in January 2018 Cardiff city gave them both 2 and a half year contracts. They are 22.
Part of getting Willie to be their Mendes?How curious this is...as to why Cardiff signed the two McKays up:
I'd be happy to discuss this. Just doesn't seem right to do so on this threadHow curious this is...as to why Cardiff signed the two McKays up:
I don't have anything to add, Bill. I can see where you're coming from, though.I'd be happy to discuss this. Just doesn't seem right to do so on this thread
Probably on the lash either in Salop or somewhere between there and Wolvo...Yout85 where are you??
