I wouldn't call that a "belly landing" considering it's only without an operable nose gear.

Wow. One of the best trip reports I've read. Thanks for taking the time to put it together!

Re: AA Union demands recall of new uniforms

There will be no Recall .. Bob(trump)Ross needs to spend more time trying to merge the two groups instead of wasting time with something that will just never happen .The uniforms are here to stay . The only thing that needs to be recalled is Bob Ross himself ..incompetent .. While I respect your op...

Re: Why didn't TWA choose MD-11

Did their 762s have the range to do TLV-JFK without the fuel stop? Did these flights carry too much cargo for a 767? AFAIK TW didn't have the ER model, so no. Also, the high brass at TW explicitly said in the 90s "there's no money in cargo, and no money in Asia", talking about the Far Eas...

Re: The Future of 50 Seat RJs

Envoy still has options on the ERJ-175 deliveries right? The 145's are going to Piedmont yet Envoy just opened a 145 crew base at LGA. :? Yes, we just announced LGA last month as a E140/145 base. We have 90 options, plus 14 outstanding, and rumor has it, we may be taking back Compass' units. That's...

Re: DL's fleet at SEA

Will be interesting to see when/if DL takes the 787s and where they fly them. That would be ideal for SEA-HKG and new routes like MSP-PEK or SLC-ICN. Too bad they didn't see the value of an "experimental airplane" which may have made SEA international routes more efficient. Now that RA is...

Re: American rolls back secondary Cuba even more

If an airline decides to discontinue service to Cuba, are there designated backup carriers? Or, does it have to go back to the DOT to start all over?

Re: Boston Aviation - Part 12

According to an article in today's USA Today it appears that DL's holiday service to RSW that operates from 12/22 - 1/2 will return on 2/17 and become year round Saturday/Sunday service. Also the flight will go from an E175 to an A319. Nice add to the DL Boston hublet! http://www.usatoday.com/story...

Re: Passenger get life time ban on Delta Air Lines because of political outburst

Well said. Delta did the right thing. The right thing would have been to remove him from the flight at the time. As I wrote in the now locked thread, the cabin crew from this flight failed to do their jobs and need to be disciplined. Having each of them write personal letters of apology to all pass...

Re: VS launch 3rd daily LAX next May.

I know it's been mentioned, but I'm pretty shocked DL won't be the operator for the third flight. I know a JV is metal neutral, but there's something that does't add up. I wish I knew how this decision was made.

Re: Passenger get life time ban on Delta Air Lines because of political outburst

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/ ... p-outburst -- Now the question is, was the passenger banned because of his behaviour and just that, or because of his political opinion? Lets hope its the first one and not the second. Why do YOU think? I think it's clear that his behavior was unacceptabl...

Re: The Shuttle (BOS/NYC/DCA)

Eastern did use a wide body for LGA-BOS-LGA at one point. A note in their December, 1983 timetable mentions it, but didn't identify the aircraft. "The air controllers job action continues to affect all airline services. However, Air-Shuttle first sections are all operating on schedule, every ho...

Re: OAG Changes 12/2/2016: DL Adds BOS-TPA, Drops LAX-GDL

B6 has had BOS for some time, so I agree with the general sentiment that this is mainly DL's attempt to take a bite out of their market share, we'll see how this pans out in the long-term. Agree. And, according to Massport, WN will move to another terminal in 2017/18, which will allow DL to add mor...

Re: WHAT ARE THE WORST THINGS ABOUT FLYING?

As mentioned by others, my major issue is the bureaucracy called the TSA. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to tell them how they're insanely insensitive, but I didn't want to wind up missing my flight. The other thing that's on my list of issues are flight attendants who close the curtain, s...

Re: Amazon Fleet Growing

I don't think that Amazon will pull the plug on ABX. Their birds are more numerous than Atlas metal at this time and it would be a drastic move. Over time though, Atlas could definitely do it. That may be the end game now. I think you have it right. This reminds me of the 2001 Comair pilots strike ...
