Re: Studying before PPL training

I feel like aviation is my home, and I feel like I would be most willing to study it and thrive with it as the environment. Of course that feeling could change in few years time when I actually apply to college, but I've felt this way for my whole life so far. Boeing757100, your goals are admirable...

Re: Ethiopian adds Atlanta (ATL)

According to routesonline, ET wants to codeshare with DL. Any idea when such things will be announced formally by DL? It'd basically make them the strongest out of all the US3 in Africa, so I'd assume it would be pretty big news if true. https://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/299173/ethi...

What if I already received my 3rd class medical? I don’t know if I will be able to have time to schedule a first class medical just yet. Thanks

Re: Studying before PPL training

All, I'm about to start private pilot training in about 2 months, and I've been exchanging emails with my flight school whenever I needed to ask questions. One thing they warned me of is to not over-prepare or study too much before training, since they said that past students struggled in ground sc...

Re: Studying before PPL training

Thanks so much all for the answers. I have learned not to have the urge to "stand out" but rather to continue to work hard and study well. Just wanted to clarify, yeah, ERAU's my main dream, but I have a lot of safety colleges, including a few that some have pointed out in this thread. Th...

Re: I created an high density United Boeing 787-10 in Minecraft

0hAerqplane, the reason that this seating configuration would be illegal is that it would be impossible to get everyone evacuated from the plane under 90 seconds. Hence why the 787-10 cannot carry more than 440 pax. 440 people need to be off that thing in under 90 seconds in a dire emergency. Just w...

Re: Is Delta's Joint Venture With Korean Airlines Working?

It makes no sense for DL to operate a NRT hub with tag on flights to Asia. Better to codeshare with KE instead on connections to further Asian destinations. Additionally, DL did not have a local SkyTeam partner at NRT either. I would argue that it makes sense for DL to operate some tag-ons where th...

Re: Yeti Airlines AT75 crash in Nepal

Could this be another pilot suicide?? Rather unlikely if you ask me. Why should he/she have waited until the final moments of the flight to do something like this. Fair, it seems oddly early to make claims of suicide. Then again, a sudden pitch up and roll to the left seems like an inefficient way ...

Re: Delta Air Lines Fleet - 2023

Honestly, until the pilot's contract is settled, does DL really need a major 763 replacement? They can easily use the 339/359 to funnel pax through JV strongholds in ICN/LHR/CDG/AMS and besides, a good portion of the 763 flying is domestic, so I'm not usre why a whole new aircraft type is needed for...

Re: Rumor: Delta set to announce SLC-ICN & LAX-AKL

These are two routes which have been beaten pretty hard to death in the DL fleet thread. Would be happy if they came true, but I'm taking this one with a pinch of salt. Not to mention we have threads running about ATL-NCE, JFK-EZE, and a potential relationship with ET. Today's been one field day for...

Re: Delta Air Lines Network - 2023

According to sources in the ET adding ATL thread, they are seeking a codeshare with DL. This will give delta a lot of one stop access to majority of Africa. Great news for Delta.

Now, this is interesting. UA should be thrilled!

Re: Ethiopian adds Atlanta (ATL)

Could they potentially be trying to get a stab at the India market? India based travel is somewhat strong out of ATL, and besides, from ADD, ET serves BOM/MAA/DEL/BLR.

I think the last conversion was like in 2017. I think official Boeing conversions stopped years before that even. IAI or someone was the last to convert like an Asiana airlines example IIRC.

Did EK ever actually express much interest in serving Atlanta? Yes the did A380 flights and DL was rude and purposely parked an A319 in the only A380 gate at the airport to make them have to remote unload the first flight. During the US big 3 vs the ME3 days.
