There will be guidelines for airlines to update SOPs and procedures for how they deal and approach turbulence at an operational level, and that will be left for each airline to adopt as suitable.

There are SOP's in place already to to deal with approaching bad weather, certain cloud formations etc, which is detected as bad weather which may incur turbulence.... the Captain will illuminate the wear seat belt  signs, and inform the cabin crew of turbulent weather so that they can stow away loose items, trolleys and inform passengers to obey the signs.

How does one approach an air pocket which is invisible to the human eye and undetectable by ground and aircraft radar??

Which is what happened during this flight.

Which means that both weather reports and weather radar are not 100% reliable. 

As I have tried to make it clear to you so that you understand the weather reports and radar are accurate..

AIR POCKETS ARE UNDETECTABLE...

A caravan of over 50 supercars will be on display at The Square, Bluport Hua Hin, on June 15, providing an exciting opportunity for car enthusiasts to experience some of the world’s most luxurious vehicles up close.

In other countries you would see these on  daily basis, car shows are for the old classics and modified cars.

I guess Thailand is different in this way?

It's a jungle out there, tooled up riders and drivers...

Not necessary? Funny if not so serious. What weather forecast? 

As part of every flight the Captain and first officer make a detailed flight plan which includes take off conditions, flight conditions en-route and landing conditions at the destination... ie a weather forecast.

The aircraft also has on-board radar which informs them of weather conditions ahead. ie possible turbulence due to visible weather patterns.

Unfortunately air pockets are undetectable.

The Government of Thailand has launched an initiative to nominate Nan, a culturally rich northern province, for UNESCO World Heritage status, aiming to boost the region's tourism and economy. Nan's picturesque landscapes, archaeological treasures, and diverse ethnic heritage are anticipated to captivate global tourists and scholars alike

Any excuse to get the status.

Go for it...

There was rumour of a rather  famous member of the police (or two) being involved in some on-line gambling some months ago. That seems to have gone quiet. These Indian guys won't be as lucky. 

They put the lid back on the can of worms.

These proposed entertainment complexes are part of a government initiative. They include a casino, a shopping mall, a five-star hotel, diverse dining options, a convention centre, an amusement park, and other advanced facilities.

Sounds better than Nana, Walking street, Soi 6 and the rest of the cat alleys.

If the MFP is dissolved like the FFP they will make a new party..

Hopefully named the "continue the fight party"

IMO too many people ignore the sensible precaution of fastening their seat belt when sitting. I think passengers should only get compensation if wearing a seat belt, or when walking when the "Fasten seat belt" sign is not on. People should use their brain and take responsibility for themselves.

Turbulence is an expected part of flying, but many leave their common sense in the departure lounge, IMO.

 

If passengers bring on hand carry that exceeds the weight limit and that injures someone else, IMO they should be prosecuted.

The accident occurred at high altitude while the wearing of seat belts is not necessary...

people are allowed freedom to move around to use the bathrooms and stretch out their legs.

The weather forecast was good with no turbulence as in rain or clouds.

This was a totally unforeseen and undetectable air pocket where the aircraft suddenly dropped.

No-one wants to wear a seat-belts for the entire flight from departure to arrival.

In the US foreign beggars are given credit cards and hotel suites. US citizen beggars are sent to the streets.

The USA has screwed itself.

Foreign beggars face deportation, whereas Thai beggars are sent to reception homes for career retraining. Repeat offenders, regardless of nationality, can expect legal charges.

So what's the problem... step up the street inspections.
