AA uses red and white stripes on the tails of its planes. While certainly inspired by the US flag, it's hardly worth calling it the full flag. Absolutely no input or permissions are or were given or needed by the US goverment for any livery. If DL, UA, or any other airline wanted to use any or all o...
Jump to postRemember, it takes several seconds for engines to spool up to TOGA and to arrest a descent. They had already started the go-around process by the time the picture was taken. They were low, for sure, but it wasn't anything the flight crew should be severely questioned on. Also remember the Swiss chee...

However, barring any setbacks, I think she should be demoted to the right seat whenever she is mentally cleared to fly again. That's not how it works at all. F/Os are held to the same training and ability standards as Captains. If she's not fit for duty as a Captain, she's not fit as an F/O. You do...

Also has happened a good number of times when LAS closes due to WX and that flight diverts to PHX. One of the incidents that lead to an alternate taxi lane was a 777 divert to B23 while the 747 was at B25. Usual widebody push was to the zipper line, but the driver push/pulling the 777 cut the turn ...

So, what is considered a real news source now? Is it only a source that agrees with your way of thinking, or is there a way to separate these propaganda rags from legitimate media? What does this mean for the future dissemination of news in the future? It doesn't matter. Other than protections for ...

Jump to postAlmost happened in PHX a few years ago. A prisoner coming in to T3 managed to disable his shock bracelet and bolted from his escort.

Recently a friend posted on fb an article about AA reshuffling a320 pilots away from PHX. He claimed it was the end of the line for PHX. I told him that he was being ridiculous. However, a friend of his who is part of airport ops at PHX claims that while online AA says PHX is a hub, internally it's...
Jump to postSomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but after the big push earlier this year, I believe they've stopped/slowed the metal swaps between LAA/LUS. Not sure if it was due to SFP, or if Ops Research is rethinking/tinkering with the fleet mix in PHX. Right now, it looks like the 738s are at anywhere between...

Cool. No question that JAC is a huge draw in the summer, but interesting that JAC is a 319 and EGE is Eagle. Is JAC daily?

I will say that I have been surprised by the resiliency of the PHX hub in the context of AA's combined network, and AA's (higher) post-merger cost. The higher costs have been offset by low oil/fuel prices, plus mainline mechanics and fleet just got their (very substantial) pay raises at the beginni...

As a former PHX based employee now at DWH, I heard the other day there are actually more employees in PHX now than prior to the merger. Definitely at the airport. AA has gained a couple hundred ramp and gate employees since 2013, mostly due to larger aircraft (321s and 738s) requiring more support ...
