Found it.
On the video it showed EXJ on the nose wheel door.
For some reason they were careful not to show the tail.
I saw it at MLA on 27/09/2013.
4R-EXJ was operated by Expo Air.
Several passengers claimed that the pilot announced they had 45 mins of holding fuel, but the touchdown at alternate took 115 mins since that announcement. https://www.news18.com/india/2-minutes-of-fuel-left-harrowing-experience-of-indigo-passengers-on-delhi-bound-flight-diverted-to-chandigarh-8851...
Jump to postWoah, how much extra fuel are they carrying? They should divert to Muscat. Nothing can beat Mother Nature. An IndiGo flight in India recently made a diversion with barely (1-2 mins) any fuel left. Must have been a very harrowing experience for pax. What would have been a harrowing experience? Was t...

I'd argue they didn't need to move in the first place. But overall, location will not fix culture. Culture is in the mindset of the management and the employees, and not location dependent. Somewhere, Boeing lost sight of their mission. It doesn't matter where they are, if they don't implement the ...
Jump to postWhy can't the prison implement signal jamming across the prison? Walkie Talkies use radio waves, and will be available for COs themselves to use. Both cell phones and walkie-talkies use radio waves. I would say it isn't an unsolvable problem, but it's also not a straight-forward one either. You nee...

Jump to postAnother point is light levels.
Even with a relatively short lens, if light levels are good, you can 'blow up' the image.
One thing which will help, is if you are shooting from the ship or walking around.
In the latter situation, lugging a load of kit around is a real PITA.

I am not sure that Southwest does autolands in their 737s because of the HUD. I think they hand fly their CAT III approaches with the HUD. Once had a “spirited discussion” with a Southwest pilot at a party where said pilot said the 737 can’t do autoland. I told them that my airlines 737s do…so unle...

A lot of companies also lack a proper system to document knowledge. People should never matter in that regard, everything should be written down.
