I wondered if technology is so great, can they do the conversion in flight? That way the toilets do not have to be emptied, just have it flow to the engines. I can't wait for the announcement from the captain that we will have to make a fuel stop unless 30 people go take a dump in the next 10 minut...

Jump to postWe already have a two oems starting with "D". Deustche Aircraft who are developing a new version of the Dornier 328. There is also De Havilland Aircraft of Canada. E - Embraer (F)okker (G) (H) (I)lushin If we're just including companies that are still producing aircraft then I'm not sure ...
Jump to postThey started to charge for baggage, meals, drinks, seat selection, and now they are making a profit.
Jump to postCan OAK handle an A380?
Jump to postWould their planes start with a "D"? So we already have:
A - Airbus
B - Boeing
C - COMAC
D - ?
Is HU still in financial trouble? I recall reading that other airlines are acquiring them.
Jump to postDo you think they will keep the OAK airport code?
Jump to postThey say 1987 is the worst year for safety for US airlines. How did we compare to other countries? I heard Russia and China were pretty bad as well.
Jump to postWhere did the part end up? Did it damage any property?
Jump to postAsian countries like saving face. Remember the SilkAir crash? Singapore did not admit to pilot suicide.
Jump to postThe passenger who allegedly threw the coins into the engine of a China Southern Airlines plane was taken away by the airport police. A flight in China was delayed for four hours due to an unusual reason. As per reports, the flight from the southern city of Sanya to Beijing got delayed for over four ...
Jump to postI wonder how this compares to the CI and MU incidents?
Jump to postDoes anyone know if this route allows local traffic from SYD to AKL?
Jump to postThey are lucky because someone could have easily been killed.
Jump to postDo you think the mechanic forgot to "torque" the wheel?
Jump to postImagine all the airports who had to install A380 gates, realign runways and taxiways. All that infrastructure is not cheap.

At first glance they seem too far apart for it to make sense, unless it would be part of a larger global alliance.
Do you think they will make a great partner with Air Asia?
Jump to postAUS and SAT joining efforts to build a new mega airport somewhere in the middle, like San Marcos, and name it Austin-San Antonio International Airport.

Jump to postAA is known for showing interest in a competitor's product to get a lower price. Remember the L-1011?

Jump to postI remember Europeans laughing at American carriers for baggage fees and BOB. But look at LH and BA today.
Jump to postI cannot imagine 12 hour flights without food.
Jump to postWas it AA that had an international flight that arrived at a domestic gate one time a few years ago? I wonder what if this man got on such a flight then he would have gotten into the country free?
Jump to postRemember US charged for soft drinks, so US had a lower quality product offering.
Jump to postI always wondered about countries with no exit immigration control (ex. US). What if someone gets on a plane without a passport? One can easily switch boarding passes with someone else once they are airside. In addition, not all of the passport checks at the gate are done strictly. I've been on flig...
Jump to postHow does the capacity compare to a 772? If they are similar, I would say it would be a failure.
Jump to postDo you think runway length is an issue? 17L/35R is the shortest runway at DFW.
Jump to postWould HKG be another good candidate if they want to compete with OneWorld?
Jump to postPDX is another good candidate if you want to cover the Pacific NW.
Jump to postWhat about MCI? It's in the middle of the US, so 95% of flights can be within 4 hours.
Jump to postSince UA is so big in Asia, why don't they add a hub at NRT? Just like how NW did in the 90s. Because UA and NH are joint venture partners and NH has a hub in NRT. Its the same as UA themselves having a hub there. In that case, they should have one in ICN. With OZ merging with KE, that would make i...

Jump to postMake it a self-flying plane, then there will be no protests.
Jump to postDoes anyone know if they have connecting flights to other cities in the US, could they fly them from LAX or would they have to bring them back to SFO? Given the way this flight has been handled, I'm assuming that any choice of action other than flying back to SFO would result in some kind of bureau...

Jump to postCan you imagine if the passenger made the request on Spirit Airlines and they would ask $5 for hot water?

Jump to postI flew AA to LHR and one time we used air stairs to get off the plane. It was a 777. The flight was not delayed. Does anyone know why?
Jump to postAnd it also might depend on what is available at that time. Are there any open gates with jet bridges? If not, then remote stand.
Jump to postI think the only bad reputation is that there are four engines for a plane that is not very long.
