Re: 60 Minutes to skewer Allegiant Air this Sunday

How could anyone say with a straight face this wasn't a hit piece on Allegiant? Because it was based on facts. Four times more incidents than other airlines. Something is not right. It makes no sense to defend this. "facts" are funny things. I'm going to leave this here: http://visualappr...

Re: Silver Airways replaces CEO, places order for 20 ATR42s

Saab Cpt here.....Saab 34B burns 1200pds the first hr with accounts for takeoff and climb and 1000pds per hr there after......Sf34a is 1000pds first hr and 800 pds thereafter Thanks.

Re: Silver Airways replaces CEO, places order for 20 ATR42s

The ATR42 is an extremely economical platform, with things like fuel burn for example not significantly more than the Saab 340. On the old ATR 42-320, I normally get a figure of just under 400 kg pr hour. I looked up the figures for the SAAB 340, and while I didn't find any QRH or AOM, all sources ...

Re: Aircraft Values, And Lease Pricing - Fall 2016

Re: 717 vs CS100

C Series is wider by about 6 inches, I believe. It has the same capacity as the 717, perhaps a few seats more depending on how Delta configures.

Re: Wall Street Journal - New Rules Would Let Airlines Hire Co-Pilots With Less Experience

Here's what people don't understand about the 1,500 hour rule: The quality of regional pilots is quantifiably lower than it was before the 1,500 hour rule. Airline training failure rates for new pilots have doubled, and sometimes tripled since the 1,500 hour rule went into effect due to a lack of co...

Re: DL CEO Doesn't Deny C-Series Were $20m Each

Oh dear lord, this again. The price wasn't anywhere near $20M. Simple math from Bombardier's financials and onerous charges and you can back-solve to a high 20's number.
