Re: How do the Democrats win in 2022/24?

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 ...

Re: American Eagle News and Discussion Thread

Does anyone have information on the 20 175's that were ordered for SkyWest? I'm assuming they have been postponed, but haven't been able to find any information on them. These are actually ordered by Skywest. Deliveries are schedule for 4th quarter 2021 through mid-2022. My mistake! Appreciate the ...

Re: Pro-Trump Riot in US Capital Building

I can see how things are going to go. The horrible events of January the 6th which both sides agreed were horrible, are being taken by advantage by the Democrats and now raising the race tensions by saying how police was better with the Trump supporters than with BLM, that's despite a Pro-Trump whi...

Re: 787 System Question

Thank you all! I appreciate the input.

787 System Question

Hello 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...

Re: New order for 24 B757 to be converted to 757F - customer?

Strong chance these are the AA 757s. American retired all of them in May, and they're not coming back into the fleet post COVID.

Re: American Eagle News and Discussion Thread

Looking 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...

Re: AA Furlough > Flowback?

To my knowledge, flowback is not an option for those who flowed from a WO carrier.

Re: DL Will Have 7,000 Extra Pilots in Fall

I’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. If anything it gets worse since who is going to start a commercial now? I hate to say it, the shortage is largely gone. Looking out based on...

Re: ZLC, ZID partially/wholely shut down, rumors of JFK

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. JFK is currently operating in a ramp tower because a technician tested positive for COVID19. Arrival rate is apparently ...

Re: Novel Coronavirus outbreak

Testing is so limited, that the number of actual cases of people infected with the virus has to be much higher, if not double what is being report...

Re: American Eagle ERJ 145 Slides Off Icy Runway

Here 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...

Re: Any update on Cessna SkyCourrier ?

The PA31s have been gone for about a year, if not more at Ameriflight Ah, any news on B99 retirement? I was reading they had then retired the C208, which would be a great little beech replacement. I'm not sure that AMF proper has flown C208's in years. Wiggins flies them, but that's still a separat...

Re: Delta allegedly lobbying against new FAA rest rule for cabin crew

I'm curious: when you are off, how many days off do you get? Other industries only get two as a maximum. Not at all an apples-to-apples comparison. The workers in those other industries can get off work and go home and have dinner with their families. Play with their kids, sleep next to their loved...

Re: Unconfirmed: Mesa Airlines to Operate 737

Southern cant have the same pilots fly both the 400’s and 800’s same reason Alaska had tomditch there “combi” birds for pure cargo 700’s. The combi’s were steam gauges.. FAA won’t sign off on a common type for them... Seems plausible that Mesa wants in the cargo door and here is there chance.. That...

Re: Southwest 737 slides off runway at BUR

Re: Airlines leasing houses instead of booking hotel rooms

But they share hotel rooms...... Most airlines don't do this anymore, either for training or on layovers. So every single crew member would have their own hotel room? Outside of a very airlines, most airlines already provide each crew member their own hotel room. My carrier does this through traini...

Re: MD-8X firefighter: why gear down on retardant drops?

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.

Re: Northeast US Heat Wave & Effects on ULH Flights

The 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...

Re: Possibility of the 797 having a T-Tail

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!
