Not contributing much, but I saw N627NP at ONT on 05.22. Seeing the airplane had me thinking good things were happening, but apparently not.

Jump to postWhen I was at flight attendant training with a smaller carrier that almost jumped a few size rankings, some of the trainers mentioned that delivery and route launch flights were the biggest things to look forward to after tenure there. I think one employee mentioned that cake at the gate was somethi...
Jump to postAnything I am forgetting? Didn't DL inherit 45 or so 757s from NW? I think a good majority of those were still part of the pre-pandemic fleet of 100 757-200s, and some of them are about 26 years old now. Maybe they could be honorable mentions on that list, if DL sticks to their current plan which i...
Jump to postI do hope we'll see more A220 action at DEN. Just moved away from SEA last year and the fan inside of me is sad to see the A220 presence getting larger at SEA (just want to check the A220 out). Almost all of the markets listed are downgauges, unless they are adding frequencies. I know SEA-FAI was an...
Jump to postI don't know anything about other airlines' SpaceFlex lavatories. But, the lavs on Frontier A320s do have the ADA lav and the slight offset you mention. The wall does open, and is very well hidden. You wouldn't know it collapses, without being told or shown. Further, the two rear jumpseats on F9 Spa...
Jump to postThe video was made at Delta's former terminal at LAX. You beat me to it! Yep, that shot was at T5's main lobby. The Adiemus ad came out in the early 90s, just shortly after Delta purchased T5 from Western Airlines. They renovated it in '88, adding the white marble (I think). It was called Delta's O...
Jump to postI really like how the white logo contrasts with the darker blue (black?). The new tail (just the tail) looks great. While the yellow logo on blue tail is classic, it looks dated. Continuing paint from the tail to fuselage is weird, and cheapens the entire look. The concept works with, for example, Q...
Jump to postIt's like they couldn't choose between red or blue, so they went with both.
Is there a reason for purple??
I don't think this is surprising. I've always thought the 767 would be a good fit at VX. Now, and more so in the past. A330 and 787 are a little too similar, for an airline the size of VX. If VX didn't have that silly "four engines for longhaul" monniker, I like to believe they would have...

Jump to postIf an airline owns their 767 pax fleet, and they are spending a fortune to retrofit them with the lastest new hard product (I am assuming it's a fortune, but "fortune" is obviously subjective) then if they are dying, they seem to be dying quite slowly. I assume that I will be on the 767 f...
Jump to postI remember when this started up in 2013. Unlimited flights offered for a monthly fee in the California area. They just started operating in Europe with one Phenom 300. Seems like the outfit is working out!
It looks like before the Rise acquisition they had 12 PC-12s. What they'll use for SEA?
Sorry I'm unfamiliar with this, what rule is this? The Port Authority (PANYNJ) that runs the NYC area airports has, for decades, had a perimeter rules in place for LGA which states that flights to/from LGA can not travel more than 1500 miles. There is an exception for DEN, because DEN flights exist...
Jump to postThey actually deferred some A350. Original plan proved to be a little too much capacity for present demand. So for now it seems unlikely to see more A350. http://news.delta.com/delta-expand-airbus-a321-200-aircraft-order-defer-10-a350-deliveries Not a huge deferral, so the future could see more A350...
Jump to postSo then you'll have three dysfunctional airlines pretending to be one. How will they erroneously blend B6 into the fold? Strange tartan patterns replacing lat-lon lines on all the CO tail globes? It's almost like UA is the presents US Airways, back when AW and US were relatively split. Maybe off to...
Jump to postSome technical specifications have been released, quoting a range of 3,215 nm: https://imagr.eu/up/wts8h_DCq-L-cW0AEooV7.jpg https://twitter.com/FG_STrim/status/876722210941136896 so at 230 seats the -10 will have up to 10 seats less than the A321neo.... does not tally with the marketing spin "...
Jump to postIt is a very jarring change when compared to the previous livery--which itself was very good. But looked at individually, I think it's just as good. Saying that "black represents Canada" is an abstract view... or a ridiculous stretch. The livery is smart, clean, and still quite bold. Looks...
Jump to postDelta definitely made mistakes in their plans to acquire the A350 and A330NEO. - Ordered too soon. The market changed, so they don't really need to introduce new types yet. Maybe also due to a lack of SEA growth (it is flat 1Q17 v 1Q16)? I would argue they need the CSeries (along with other NBs on o...
Jump to postDelta manages to cancel plenty of flights. They also sometimes prefer to have obscenely late flights rather than cancel them. Playing a numbers game. July, 2016 - T100 Data............Delta................Alaska On Time - 0:00-0:14 late.....68,298...82%.....14,537...90% 00:15-00:59 mins late..........
Jump to postLikely related to not enough gate or hangar space. Doesn't make much sense to have an A330 sitting at the gate when a few narrowbodies could arrive/depart. Perhaps this is how DL will use the full potential of their temporarily limited gate space. Is it allowed/typical to use space between taxiways ...
Jump to postIt almost looks like the entire fuselage is painted in a solid color..? Compare the wrapped engine to the fuselage.
Jump to postDarker, metallic, colors would make sense. The livery is fine, but it seems very light on some larger aircraft. Almost livery-less. Those two simple changes would bring their livery in line with their new marketing (I miss the W+K B&W stuff) and VS.. while keeping costs down, and livery continui...
Jump to postVery refreshing and overall appealing, but like some other posters said the livery could use some polishing. For starters, the colors on the engine are nice.. but they kinda clash with the bird. The curves are opposing. But as far as new liveries have gone, this is pretty good.
Jump to postNot really a hypothetical question, since the Concorde existed and pilots flew it. :D A quick search reveals that there was no simulator training, and the programme took 6 months (compared to 2 months for other aircraft). Here's the link if you're interested. Cool read from Tony Yule, a former BA Co...
