But let's say it's not any of that and it's a choice: as taxpayers, we fund medical procedures that are directly related to lifestyle every single day. So, if that is your opinion, ideological consistency would suggest that any life style related medical treatment should be excluded from tax payer ...

Jump to postHello Everyone! Last week, I had my first 787 flight from ORD-PHL on American (Tail N818AL). It is an absolutely incredible aircraft, however, I had a question for those more familiar with the plane. Multiple times during the flight (before takeoff, during descent, and on final) there was a spool so...
Jump to postStrong chance these are the AA 757s. American retired all of them in May, and they're not coming back into the fleet post COVID.
Jump to postLooking at FlightAware I noticed PSA is flying CR9’s through DFW. When did this start? The only destinations so far looked like LEX and DAY. Assuming this is start of phasing out Mesa? They've been doing it in small quantities for quite a while. I flew on a PSA CR9 in early spring both directions D...

Jump to postI’m really surprised the majors are going to furlough. It took them a while to get in this position the pilot shortage doesn’t go away once traffic gets back.

ZID (Indy center) is ATCZERO in some spots. I've been told they are actively rerouting around the airspace, and all departures are being kept low with a call for release required.

Jump to postHere is a direct link to the full landing. https://youtu.be/sfK8AtLjc4Y You guys think that right main collapsed? No. It sounded like the pilot used the thrust reversers, noticed he wasn't stopping, added more power and that's when the plane started to skid. Also listen for when he knew he was skid...
Jump to postThe PA31s have been gone for about a year, if not more at Ameriflight Ah, any news on B99 retirement?

Wiggins flies them, but that's still a separat...

Based on the position of the flaps, I'd guess to say that the main reason is to eliminate the gear horn. Though I can't say that for certain, just a generalization based on what I can see in the photo.
Jump to postThe planes will certainly feel the heat, but these airports are within 500 feet MSL. The density altitude at these airports won't be astronomically high. Back when I was flying on the east coast, on the days we had 100F outside, the density altitude barley cracked 3,000 feet. As mentioned, these pla...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the main reason T-Tail aircraft aren't designed more often is simply because of the added weight needed for structural purposes.
I would love to see another modern T-Tail though. That'd be gorgeous!

Jump to postWhy would they need to defend a qualified, type-rated, employed pilot doing his job? Sorry but a 19 year old hardly has the maturity to be second in command of 150+ individuals. Is this the best Norwegian can hire? Contrary to popular belief there are mature 19 year olds. Not all of us party or go ...
Jump to postThis will do more harm then good. This will do nothing but benefit the airlines and hurt GA. There is a reason why the US has one of, if not the largest GA community, it's because ATC works with us and keeps our cost low.

Jump to postGuy needs a few nights to rethink his thoughts. Can't believe that anyone could defend the passenger. His actions were totally uncalled for. The pilot had more control then I, and most people I knew, would have.
