Why not just reject these for overexposed and call it a day? Instead the Screener decided to reject these and add the following comment.... "Heavy floodlight creates a flat OE look." That makes me think two things 1) The shot is totally unfixable on account of the floodlights 2) Don't both...

Jump to postAt this point AA does not carry an FAR 117 AMOC for their Delhi operation and flight crew are limited to FAR117's 17hr duty period limit. Conversely AA does carry an FAR 117 AMOC for their defunct HKG, and to-be-inaugurated BLR operation. Both AMOCs provide relief of up to 21hr duty period limits, d...
Jump to postMany frequent travelers I know have occasional back pain issues that are exacerbated by long stretches of sitting. Unbuckling and standing in the aisle as quickly as possible may seem annoying to some, but is sometimes instant relief for some.
Jump to postI always viewed the President has having more influence over the day-to-day shortcomings than the actual CEO. The CEO, to me is usually just the 'face of the company', whose primary role was to manage the executive team. For me, the biggest question mark will be who takes over Isom's vacated Preside...
Jump to postAt AAL the 772 as configured is prohibited from being subbed for the 77W to VIDP, not due to performance but rather the unique terrain West of the Himalayas and associated supplemental oxygen requirements.
Jump to postNine times out of ten the straight-West-flow at DFW is out of extreme precaution and not truly necessary. During 28 October, while most traffic accepted the ATC assignment to 31L/31R, EK, KZ, and some other widebodies preferred the approach capabilities and size of 36L/35C despite the crosswind, whi...
Jump to postI have a photo in the queue of 2405 (RSAF A330MRTT) at DFW, and it has been deprioritized, but I believe it falls under both 'talk of the town', for both avgeeks and limited news media about its mission to the USA, as well as first visit for a RSAF airplane to DFW in the database. Q: Inaugural visit...
Jump to postUA’s 2000-series flight numbers indicate non-scheduled ops. If I recall correctly 2500s are charters and 2600s are empty ‘CFR Part 91’ flights. I want to say 2700s are maintenance ferry flights and/or functional check flights but not certain.
Jump to postI'd rather the airplane throw a message telling the crew the system has failed, instead of staying silent while doing wonky things providing a false sense of flight envelope protection for the crew. Good job Boeing, everything working as intended (by announcing that things aren't working lol).

Jump to postIt's not ridiculous to have some minimum requirements for pilots flying transport airplanes for hire. The ATP certificate is a pretty good baseline IMHO. And the staffing issues aren't due to the 1500 hour rule. It's because people aren't interested in the job, for the current pay and quality of li...
Jump to postIf the ridiculously excessive 1500hr rule weren't in place, Atlas would have a flood of competent pilots ready to fly for them at a moments notice.

Jump to postThe flight diverted because a passenger physically struck another passenger. The threat level prompted a lockdown of the flight deck and immediate diversion.
Jump to postAnyone in the Flight Deck jumpseat(s) is considered a crew member, and should be knowledgable enough to assist and/or recognize an emergency situation. Theoretically someone in the back can come to help, but good chance the airplane will be on the ground too fast to have a chance to ask for/offer as...
Jump to postProbably something to do with LAA maintenance not being allowed to touch LUS, per union contracts, and vice versa. Not sure about specifics, but I'd speculate SFO has contract maintenance for LUS equipment, and AA maintenance for LAA. Perhaps the part was stocked by contract maintenance instead of A...

Jump to postLikely depends on length of flight and how much/often engines are being further derated vs max power takeoffs.
Jump to postIf you look on the PFD it should show 'HOLD' on your autothrottle control mode. This mode tells the pilot to 'HOLD' whatever setting was last commanded by the Autothrottle (or whatever power setting adjust their descent).. On the PMDG 747 this effectively disengages authothrust, as of course your th...
Jump to postI've personally enjoyed the former design at airports like DTW, and to some extent PEK. ATL and DEN's designs are almost always unpleasant to navigate through imo. Can't quit put my finger on what I like/don't like specifically about each.

Jump to postI don't see a reason for the rejection. It's not blurry whatsoever despite what the screener and head screener sees. Might as well have said rejected 'just because'. There's also recent shots in the DB that set a precedence that look just like this, blurred seats in the foreground, etc.
Jump to postShould this have been a rejection for Blurry? Rejected for "Blurry left of frame" I don't see anything blurred except for the seat backs, and even that I don't see to effect the motive of the image.
