UA777...
youve gotta love the 13-15y/o airline experts.
Ive flown out of MSP twice since 8/28, and havent found anything unusual. Seems like an average day at the airport.
Jump to postdoctored photo or not, i think this is one of the greatest pics of all time. The purists can stew in their own juices, however, I along with a lot of aviation friends love this one.

Once leaving <acronym title="Orlando - International (McCoy) (MCO / KMCO), USA - Florida">MCO</acronym> to <acronym title="Minneapolis / St. Paul - International / Wold Chamberlain Field (MSP / KMSP), USA - Minnesota...
Jump to postIve always thought the NB stands for "New Bus", as in new airbus... just a little thought that rolled around in my head sitting on the jumpseat.
Jump to postDo they have the footrests with increased recline (not-lie flat seats)
Jump to postHeres a link to the Air Traffic Control System Command Center's page that has the real time status of all the airport in the US. The link below if to the Southeast region so you can see what Frances is doing with closures. These links work year-round, not just during bad weather. <a href="http://www...
Jump to postI just got an email from American AIrlines AAdvantage department saying that effective 9/6/04 AA will charge for phone reservations as well. Add $5 for calling res, and $10 for picking up a ticket at the airport.
Jump to postMany fellow crew members and agents have stories of things that have happened around the airport or in flight. Ive seen a few, the woman at <acronym title="Chicago - O'Hare International (ORD / KORD), USA - Illinois">ORD</acronym> who would stop yelling at the cop, dumb people in immigration (the pa...

What is a GDS ??? Im fluent in Sabre and PARS/Worldspan, and have never heard of a GDS.
Jump to postLooks like <acronym title="United Airlines (USA)">UA</acronym> is 'keeping up with the jones'... cant be outdone by another carrier. I dont know that this is a route that can sustain a 777. Theres a reason <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acronym> is only flying a B752 in there............
Jump to postId like to try an experiment... place a DC9 and a CRJ, side by side, going to the same destination. Offer passengers either aircraft, as confirmed by the view out the window. See which aircraft fills up first. I bet the DC9 leaves out of there full.
Jump to postI dont know what the deal is with these angled seats.... quite frankly, they suck. I flew in an angled seat yesterday and detest them for sleeping purposes. Its like sleeping on a hill.
Jump to postIts been going in and out of F12, one of the hardest gates to get a decent picture at. I tried a few different angles but didnt get anything real shocking.
Jump to postWhich Airbus got damaged by lightning in France ?.. i remember they had a little storm and it delayed delivery to NW.
Jump to postOK.. heres a thought... the weather looks like its going to move in between now and 5pm. If its really rainy and gross, we can meet up at post road at 5pm, and then go somewhere. I have about 100 pics from my A330 trip yesterday, and can show them if the weather is foul. Say like Perkins or Dennys ?...

Jump to postTheres some interest in a spotting event on Sunday. The <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acronym> A330-200 is leaving at 11:30a and returning at 7pm. Im up for it if anybody else is. Throw some details out and we'll go on it.. id prefer the later afternoon so we can see in international...
Jump to postIs there enough interest in a a.net spotter get-together on Sunday Am or Pm ?....
Jump to postYeeeehaw !!!!!!!!!!
Going for a A330 day trip to PDX on Saturday ! Look for a trip report after my return ... a very rare opportunity to fly a domestic A330
B-O-R-I-N-G !!!!!!!
The shows over.... everything left
the ambulence......i dont know where they went....i think it might be on that MD80 at A2
Jump to postTHE SHOW IS OVER....
(Everybody left the scene....nothing to see anymore)

NW is to start NRT-Canton China flights... i dont know the city code and also know that the service will be with 757s (75P in the schedule)
Jump to postGotta love the <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acronym> DC10s that were there earlier this last winter. Pilots were extrememly hesitant to fly the aircraft in there. If a bird shit on the runway, and it somehow got back to <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acronym>, they wo...
Jump to postThis one will dumbfound anybody..
RJAA (ICAO 4-letter for NRT/Tokyo Narita)
Again, this is a rumor, its not solid, which is why im throwing it out there to see what the a.net community knows. I have never insinuated that this it fact, nor have I denied it. My intention is not to start malicious crap, but just get the truth from those who have it
Jump to postI heard a rumor that DL fired all the FAs that took voluntary 1,2, and 5 year leaves. IF YOU CAN CLARIFY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, PLEASE POST !

Hopefully a lot can make it..... if you come later in the evening, check on level 9 as well. We may move around on the roof of different ramps.
Jump to postI was looking at a picture of an A340 and noticed something just aft of the trailing edge of the wing. Its a square-ish shape that seems like it has a purpose.

Jump to postOne event down, one to go... The Friday night meet wasnt bad, a few made it out (on less than 5 hours notice)..KL642, acidradio, Continental and I.
