This aircraft is completely in tact at the bottom of the ocean. It was landed very gently and slowly sank... the only parts ever found have been external.
Jump to postIt'll be in Franklin most likely. I wouldn't rule out Brentwood or even Thompsons Station. I'd bet on the Cool Springs area. Several new and ready to lease office space available. 350 people do not need that big of a building. Heck, the Mars building just opened up when they consolidated locations,...

The site, not the plane.
Each manufacture sets its own maintenance storage schedule in conjunction with the engine manufacture. You would need to research the question in the AMM and EMM. This will also tell you what you need to do to RTS based on how long the plane has been on the ground. I ran a storage program for the co...
Jump to post^Correct. They are also flying the Cancun flight. It is listed on their flight schedule. https://www.vacationexpress.com/flight-schedule/ They have been for several years.

Jump to postLeft side up, right side down, but looking at Flightaware it goes nowhere near NYC...and I'm sure ATC wants them no where in the area. The tracks I saw straight out of PHL till parallel to HVN, then straight into HVN crossing over Long Island

Jump to postWell, I did the upgrade. Noticed now its being markets as 'Flagship Business'..when before it was just 'Business Class'. Seating configuration didn't change. Whatever that means.?

Jump to post11C- I expected a very limited amount of answers. I did a recent trip to Cancun and watched the price of the upgrade offer fluctuate up and down several times. Just asking if there is any rhyme or reason to it.? Any best day, any number of days out is the best to people that are frequent flyers and ...
Jump to postThe aircraft were owned by the airline. No leasing overhead. In many cases you will find they were flown by Senior Crews. Why..? They pick the lines they want, and in many cases flew fixed routes and slept in their own beds.I once asked one of our senior Captains at the regional airline I worked for...
Jump to postI am asking is there any pattern/science to when they change the pricing.? You know, Wednesday is the best day to book theory.
Jump to postCan anyone offer some insight as when is the best time to buy a trip upgrade on AA...? We’re already booked next June to fly to Europe on an American 777-200 Premium Economy.

Jump to postMy heart says it's a crime, but I know better than that. Still it's a sad sight to see these A380's being dismantled. Pushing ten years is about when it happens, but keep in mind its only profitable to scrap for a short period of time. Once the parts recovered are in the Pool Market things will equ...
