The Transasia jet was pilot error. It stalled. It didn't have enough air speed to continue it's flight at take off. We saw this once before in the private contractor carrying large and heavy equipment from Afghanistan. The jet didn't have high enough air speed to carry it's freight.

The jet that previously crashed into the sea should have been allowed to turn around to return to the airport for the level of air turbulence in the area. Indonesia has a problem with storms all the time, but, it's aviators need to discern severe storms and air turbulence from those that are navigable.

The lost Air Asian jet was probably cabin failure. These jets have been flying at altitudes of 45,000 feet. 45,000 feet is the stratosphere. The outside air pressure doesn't even come close to the inside air pressure. The jets are probably experiencing too many extremes in pressure and cracking. Eventually, as in the case of the lost jet it gives way and the cabin fails. That is what I think occurred. 

The airlines are taking the super-jumbos to higher altitudes to increase the number of jets able to fly over one spot on Earth. If commercial jets start to take on higher and higher levels in the atmosphere, the jets can be stacked thick.

Let's say a jet was allowed to occupy airspace every mile in altitude. That means at 45,000 feet there can be eight jets/planes below it. Now, how cheap can airfares become if an airline can operate on a per hour rate with nine jets piled into the same geographical spot. I really think the characteristics the commercial airline industry is taking is beyond dangerous. Ask oneself how many 'near misses' are there with these jets per day. 

One other thing. If ANY crack is noted in the inside cabin of the jet, report it and start a online site to report each crack of each jet. The community needs to start a site for each jet in the commercial industry and report any problem at that site be it service to the customer and/or any physical defect in the cabin. People have a right to know.
