I don't get it. If you want to know which terminal to go to when flying which airline - go to the airport website. Wikipedia shouldn't be loaded with too detailed information. If it is to function as an encyclopedia, then the information provided should be as generic as possible so that the reader ...
Jump to postDid you pay attention to the events? Look at it again. They had the mx in the cockpit and restarted then it looked like the junior first officer after the phone call to ops looked back at the cb panel and a cb had been popped out.

Are you saying the film was edited to make the crew look bad? And the resulting fix, popping the CB back in, was actually the first thing they did, but the film was edited to make them seem incompetent? If that is your argument then you are entitled to an opinion. I do not know why they would edit ...
Jump to postIt's a real train wreck, honestly. Not that that's any of the pilots' fault (though some of them say some things that I'm pretty sure they'll regret later on), but the extent to which the whole thing is dramatized is ridiculous (I was expecting some playing up of stuff, but...wow). And would it kill...

How come the JFK-YQB route could be better served from DTW? Because DTW is a major Delta hub with a ton more connections than JFK could offer. That assumes prospective YQB travelers want to go to destinations not served by DL from JFK, nor to NYC itself. What would those destinations be, in what pd...
