Jump to postI keep seeing comments like this that ignore seemingly obvious reasons why it cannot be the case.

Jump to postOften the third one is the charm. Seems like a lot of accidents seem to happen when they get to the third attempt.
Jump to postPersonally if what I have read is true about the fire coming from the air conditioning unit, then I think it's worse than it being another battery incident. It means that now there are two active problems causing fires on 787's as opposed to just one.
Jump to postUA in the earlier days of the 787 had a number of electrical problems with the aircraft that forced diversions (I think the big deal one was into <acronym title="New Orleans - Louis Armstrong International (Moisant Field) (MSY / KMSY), USA - Louisiana">MSY</acronym>).

Jump to postThe UA Direct Tv jets have had a software tweak and now have the live Map. Not all updated yet, but it's on a number of them already.
Jump to postIt actually has to do with saving space. The foot well of the person facing backwards goes into the space below the tvs at the feet of the person facing forward etc. This is why the foot space isn't very wide. This saves about 18 inches per row, and allows for an extra row of seats over all front fa...

Jump to postI am not sure why the 757 is being blamed for this. Take a flight on a lot of British Airways widebodies, United's widebodies and Delta widebodies, and you'll see the same lack of PTV in coach, this is not a narrowbody issue
Jump to postwaiting for 5:00 when US Airways service deck opens and I can ask them if I can get booked to the 8:00 flight.

Why don't you call them, if you wait until they are open at the airport, you will get nowhere.
What was the weather like at the time. Maybe the ceiling, winds, or weather was at such a level that 1500 was the best altitude
Jump to postFurther to my last post. You might as well not even have the FO there if he cannot fly the plane. Why would they bother to put him there at all.
Jump to postPlease ALSO note that a serving captain felt it necessary to cancel a recent flight because if he'd had a heart attack his F/O wouldn't have been able to fly the aeroplane without the autopilot ***** There is no way that any major US airline would schedule a FO on a commercial flight that does not k...

Jump to postI have flown EWR-SAN on the 739 a number of times.
Jump to postRain and winds while annoying will only slow things down. The reason for the major chaos the last time around was based on the freezing rain / ice issues that were rendering aircraft that had just been deiced unflyable after mere minutes. Without significant freezing, the chaos "should" be avoided.

Jump to postThey don't shoot frozen turkeys at any engine.
****
Actually they did. One after the other for quite a while. It is in the certification video for the GE90's. Quite amusing to watch.
Why is it that the 777 can have frozen turkeys shot at it from a cannon multiple times per minute, yet the 767 experiences catastrophic engine failure and catches fire.

This is actually not true. The aircraft pulled from the Expressjet fleet were a mix of both the 145's.
