Anybody hearing anything about Southwest granting A-List status thru 12/15 to a bunch of people -- unannounced?? I'm hearing a bunch of noise on another blog about it. They claim it is a surprise and have no idea why they got it. As the thread progressed it seems the action is centered on Denver ar...
Jump to postYeah, ok. the train that's only usable from downtown? They knew where the airport was headed at least 15 years ago and the incompetency of the city did nothing. If you want to take the light rail in from anywhere else to catch the A line from Union Station it's an hour on the outside and a half mil...
Jump to postBy far the worst part about this whole mess is the utter lack of communication.

Jump to postFollow-up questions: do we know what was the cargo? Are we sure this was a more or less standard assortment of Amazon parcels?

Jump to postI think the Airbus order was a legacy from Continental. United are Boeing true and true... The A350 order was placed at Paris in 2013.

Jump to postHi, First post here, despite lurking for a long time. The article in the Colorado Sun states that "The airport has one of the longest runways in the U.S., meaning it can accommodate an A380 without issue. It also can handle one of the planes at a gate, but last night the plane was parked away ...
Jump to postHow is de-icing a A380 so much different than de-icing a 747-8i? As Acey said, tail height. Deicing everything but the vertical stabilizer.... is not deicing. Serious question, would having a stronger compressor (a cheaper solution instead of a taller de-icing arm) solve this problem? It seems like...
Jump to postFortunately the weather is much colder. I don't know if there were have been problems at DEN had it been a hot summer day. AF flies the A380 into MEX, which is about 2000ft (600m) higher than DEN and hotter than DEN as well. Can’t imagine they’d run into any issues in DEN that they don’t already de...
Jump to postIt appears it was in fact the first A380 to land in Denver. https://coloradosun.com/2018/11/05/a380 ... irst-time/
Jump to postEverything I've read from the pilot chatter is this is all for expansion, no replacement of old frames. According to this article in WSJ Boeing may be buying back some of the older 744's. It also mentions that all 14 will be new builds rather than white tails. http://www.wsj.com/articles/ups-gives-...
Jump to postVery good news, congrats to Boeing and 5X!
I imagine they'll quickly replace the 6 they have that were built from '93-'97. Will they hold onto all the 744's built from '07-'08 for a fleet of 21 total or will they retire all those 744's by 2020? Seems awfully young to retire a purpose built freighter.
