Rumor has it UAL wants to build a hangar too as they opened a maintenance base here this spring and are expanding main line service and reducing Express flights
Jump to postLines up with the person who told me announcement any day a little over a week ago. But I am always skeptical until I actually see/hear it. In addition, the MNAA proposed building a large hangar across the Embraer facility. Wonder who that could be for. They don't have hangers at all their bases th...
Jump to postCorrect, the S2000 does unlike its smaller sibling There is actually an STC to add an APU to the Saab 340. I’ve worked on a few that had it…be it VERY rare. These were the corporate versions. Interesting, where is it installed ? We could have used an APU in our SF340s, not just for the utility but ...

Could Alaska open up an eastern US hub at BNA? Could they, yes, of course!!! Will they, NO, absolutely not!! On my drive to Cookeville this morning, I saw two flatbed trucks with Alaska airlines baggage buggys (or carts/busses/whatever you call them) in the opposing lane of traffic. For a split sec...
Jump to postI'm starting to think is based on where they are in the Taxi process. 'Off the Gate'.. From Push Back to Taxi to the Taxiway. 'Left the Terminal'.. out on the Taxiway, or something like that.
Jump to postWhat is the difference between... "Aircraft has left the Gate" and "Aircraft has left the Terminal" I use FlightAware for work and have noticed the wording change on the same flight
Jump to postQuestion for those who are more knowledgeable than I am: There's been discussion of the BA load factors on the BNA-LHR flight. I've been looking for tickets to Europe lately, and I've noticed that the BNA flights to LHR are 3-4x as expensive as routing though the East Coast hubs. Is BA just getting...
Jump to postNot really sure why Alaska would be parking on the B Concourse since all of those gates are usually full at night. I have noticed Allegiant pushing planes off of the gate and parking them behind other aircraft on C gates and Alaska has been using A2 and A3 quite often over the last few months for t...

I assume gate C5 is being disrupted for IAB construction?

Any word on what was up with American 1500 on Saturday night.? I was clearing the security gate headed over to the A gates to meet up with a gate call and noticed all of the Crash Trucks on the runway. Quick research showed AA1500 did a few loops of BNA before landing, so I’m guessing that was the f...

“I’d put my money on MX, they’ve been parking over at Embraer every time I’ve personally seen them when at work.”
No clue as I’m no longer employed by EMB after 19+ years
Interesting to note that Breeze’s Instagram page follows Nashville’s tourism page. A Breeze E190 at BNA today, and it wasn’t at Embraer Wonder what it was doing? In from TPA, out to ISP. Sounds like a Embraer service stop, but if rexchase12 says it was doing something else, I have no reason to doub...

The site, not the plane.
Each manufacture sets its own maintenance storage schedule in conjunction with the engine manufacture. You would need to research the question in the AMM and EMM. This will also tell you what you need to do to RTS based on how long the plane has been on the ground. I ran a storage program for the co...
Jump to post^Correct. They are also flying the Cancun flight. It is listed on their flight schedule. https://www.vacationexpress.com/flight-schedule/ They have been for several years.

Jump to postLeft side up, right side down, but looking at Flightaware it goes nowhere near NYC...and I'm sure ATC wants them no where in the area. The tracks I saw straight out of PHL till parallel to HVN, then straight into HVN crossing over Long Island
Jump to postAlso, fares change all the time. Just keep checking.
Jump to postWell, I did the upgrade. Noticed now its being markets as 'Flagship Business'..when before it was just 'Business Class'. Seating configuration didn't change. Whatever that means.?

Jump to post11C- I expected a very limited amount of answers. I did a recent trip to Cancun and watched the price of the upgrade offer fluctuate up and down several times.

Jump to postThe aircraft were owned by the airline. No leasing overhead. In many cases you will find they were flown by Senior Crews. Why..? They pick the lines they want, and in many cases flew fixed routes and slept in their own beds.I once asked one of our senior Captains at the regional airline I worked for...
