Todays mention of a <acronym title="Delta Air Lines (USA)">DL</acronym> and WestJet possibility for a closer alliance and/or equity purchase it would mean tuning the schedules to match for connections.

Jump to postWOW. Never saw that before. I'm going to dive into those files myself to see if I can find more on the old and new areas.

Jump to postThats the <acronym title="Air Fiji and Continental Airways (Russian Federation)">PC</acronym> hangers ect but memory says at least one hanger had space above the floor for offices for certain departments.

Jump to postHave you seen any photos of what I thought might be the north side, particularly the area that Pacific Airlines had their hanger in. I thought someone had told me that it was the "old" PA facility. I was there in '65 but I think they had been in it quite awhile by then. Late, say 66 they started on ...
Jump to postGood show. That's about the time I got on the scene. Fun watching the west complex going up amid all the gate changes made necessary.
Jump to postHow does the poster know he was a "contract" employee versus a full line employee? I did not see that mentioned in the story. I know full employees at least used to be able to point out that much of the greed was from much lower paid third party contractors. Sadly this may not be the case much longe...

Jump to postI think we are missing something here. The thread opener is talking about returns on Flight Radar24 and I believe this has nothing to do with FAA or such but glitches in the newest release of the program.

Jump to postThanks folks. Now I feel better for the designers. It's my eyes I now worry about.
Jump to postDo you think it was actually supposed to fly with a single engine or have the rest just not been attached. Perhaps that's why we never heard of it flying. It didn't. Intriguing.

Jump to postThere are two things I have to say about the "useless" merger. First, I absolutly hated it.
