When all of the IAH disaster is over with, what is the plan for the parking situation for D/E? It would not surprise me if they just arbitrarily tore down the D/E garage with no intent to replace it. The parking situation based purely on a capacity perspective is a dumpster fire. Business travelers ...
Jump to postI really hope that Boeing is designing a 737 replacement that should have been released 15-20 years go. The usefulness of the 737 frame has reached its ceiling its capable of and in hindsight the Max should have never been built. I know that some people like the look of the MAX, and I did at first,...
Jump to postI have read many things about the future vision etc etc etc but I simply do not know what idiot is running the show at this airport. Took me an hour to get out of the airport yesterday. One MAJOR issue is the whole parking situation. So, they demolished the D/E parking over a year ago. B is now clos...

Jump to postThe new rules in NY about inbound passengers from various states. They are stating that agents will greet each flight and take completed form and confirm identity.

Jump to postNTSB confirms no CVR. Per post above, it did when it was sold from the state of Illinois. Why would you ever remove that? Whether it's used or not is another story.
Jump to postHere's a question.... I am in instrument rated private pilot SEL. I have been around helo's, but not intimately familiar with their normal operations.

Jump to postI'm a 5 year GS, 1MM on UA. I am loyal to United mainly because they fly where I need to go and Mileage Plus is the absolute best program out there (I use my miles to fly F on Star Alliance carriers).

Jump to postThe A380 windows on the upper deck "seem" small as there is about a 4" gap between the interior and exterior windows.
nothing compares to the 787, obviously!
I like how it was an A330, but they reference a 77W and have a picture of a 763. Solid!
Jump to postIs there a site out there like flight aware or fr24 that allows you to do searches such as a specific type of aircraft at an airport?
For example, I'd like to see all of the GLF6 movements at KSNA in the last week. Just an example but you can see what I am looking for.
thanks!
S-Turns are common practice in general aviation. Every student pilot practices them and they usually happen on final approach or even short final. If you are doing pattern work at a busy airport (for example, Long Beach (LGB) on a nice saturday afternoon!) they are VERY VERY common! :) They also hap...

Jump to postI highly doubt any media source got the details of this incident correct. Once the true, factual, details come out, this will likely be NOT NEWSWORTHY. Per the above post, the AA flight was likely cleared to hold short of 20R between 20L and 20R and the landing aircraft likely landed on 20L as the A...

Jump to postI couldnt even imagine having to Pre-Clear at AMS... passport control in the mornings is already an absolute mad house with all of the flights to the US... I don't think they even have the room for this.
Jump to postThis is completely lame. I have been a GS for 5 years on UA and, yes, I am saying that!
Be original and don't copy Delta!!
I'm a strong believer that UA can kick KE out of IAH if they start ICN. Korea is a big manufacturer of heavy oil equipment, Hyundai actually built the Deepwater Horizon for one. And Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) in Busan is building their next platform, Mad Dog II. I think ICN would be a good move...
