Neat experience for folks on-board and in the terminal. A small gesture, but will be remembered by many. Off topic a bit...

Jump to postThere was a list buried somewhere on LCYs site. Basically, has to be multi-engined and certified for approaches greater than 5.5'. No single engine, no helos.

Jump to postWell, considering the packs are basically the cabin airconditioning, your (virtual) passengers would probably appreciate it if you keep them on until you're connected to ground power.

The landing gear should give it away. The 757 has dual bogie (so 4 wheels on each strut) main landing gear, the A321 only has 2 wheels per strut
Jump to postAirport fire services regularly respond to nearby, but off-airport fires. There is some spare capacity anyway (otherwise a single deployment would mean closing the airport for all other flights) so sending one or even two trucks shouldn't affect airport operations.
Jump to postI was on one in September: they are indeed old and rundown if you ask me. And yes, PHX is an exclusively non-refurb 747 route as far as I'm aware. The economy product is horribly outdated, IFE screen is low resolution and tiny. Others I have spoken that have been on these aircraft mostly agree with ...
Jump to postThis may seem very obvious, but why don't you bolt it something? You could try a wooden board, or maybe some metal beams.
Jump to postWell, I am not an expert on this, but this is my view on it: From what I understand, these subsidiaries are pretty much separate airlines that happen to carry the same colours as the parent (PAX) airline, aside from some management/office jobs that can be combined.

Jump to postI used to play Airline Mogul quite a lot, but I've recently moved over to Airline Empires: the latter offers more functionality (allowing you to create your own seat configs, in-flight services, etc.).
Jump to postI think it's pretty common all over Europe. It's just an extra way of ensuring that the conditional part is clear, i.e. that an aircraft does indeed wait until after the preceding aircraft has landed before lining up.
Jump to postA simple push button (push for <acronym title="Bahamasair">UP</acronym>, push again for DOWN) would be enough.

Jump to postIt would require a recertification of the aircraft. It will be able to use some of its parent's certification, but not a whole lot. Secondly the wing is probably made for 2 engines on each wing (in case of a fourholer), so load balance would probably be an issue. For a triholer, a new vertical stabi...
