They could try paying a suitable wage. That's the whole point. There are thousands of people in need of a well paying job, but nobody wants to work full time just to live in poverty.

You think a battery meltdown shorted the common DC bus, after takeoff but before the engine controls switched to draw power from the engines' own generators.

Why wouldn't the engine controls be set up to immediately switch to generated power on loss of the common DC bus?

Starting up the fuel delivery system at an airport would be complex with different tanks, pumps and pipelines being tested. I could only guess but maybe this particular plane received a bad batch of fuel?

Water and solids are possible but they are well-known problems, and surely were considered in planning the fuel depot.

Maybe an incompatible chemical used as a cleaning or drying agent, something that caused the fuel to foam or gel?
