Re: LATAM A20N ground collision during takeoff run at LIM

I may have missed it in a previous post, but I didn't see any spoilers come up prior to impact, which leads me to speculate that the pilots didn't reject the takeoff That could happen for any number of reasons. I imagine that the pilots simply didn’t have the time to put them up after bringing the ...

Re: United Fleet/Network Thread - 2019

I vote for a separate thread for debate the need for two threads - ha. I've enjoyed the amount and variety of topics covered in this single thread. Back to United...when I was in LAX earlier this month to catch the midnight ANA flight to Tokyo, UGS drove me to TBIT, which was awesome. I asked the dr...

Re: United to 50 states

I remember this milestone and do have a copy of the schedule at home. My dad flew for United and I was - still am - an avid follower and fan Now I'm GS and about as loyal as they come :) I have a box of schedules and other memorabilia that I recently transferred to plastic storage bins. I thought I ...

Re: United Airlines "Evolution" to Globe Livery released

Whether you love it, like it, or dislike it, you have to admit they've been very purposeful behind the scenes in pulling from the global as design elements for nearly everything on board. Much of which, we knew like the negative space. But others that I personally didn't pick up on like the horizont...

Re: Boeing 737MAX10, updates, orders, developments.

as the plane rotates, what powers the extension down? maybe a dumb question, but in the wouldn't they need to "push" down the extension vs. just letting it "drop" as the plane lifts off? am i making any sense? ;) There's a big thread on this in the tech-ops forum... https://www....

Re: Will UA return to JFK ?

Should they? Yes. Will they? No. That bird has flown. It was a dumb move. In spite of the fact that their routes from JFK at the time of the demise (Desmise?) were limited to just three airports, it was still a dumb move. None of the premium transcon O&D market wants EWR. And current UA managem...

Re: United Fleet Upgrade Status - 2018

UA is indeed interested in adding a few 763s to its fleet but those will come in the form of HA's 763s which are due for retirement this year. They are young frames, in good shape and satisfy UA's requirements. I believe they were looking at the three youngest frames in HA’s fleet. WHat are the num...

Re: United Fleet Upgrade Status - 2017

Happy Holidays everyone Question about the state of Terminal 1 at ORD I know they were testing a few different gate seating styles and layout but doesn't look like they've followed-up. And they still have the big, bulky counters. Finally, I've flown through twice this holiday season and the terminal...

Re: United Fleet Upgrade Status - 2017

I fly at least every other week from SFO on PS, ORD, Asia, and UK. Polaris seat is great on the 773, especially the one facing full forward...the offset ones have less privacy. And the 787's are great even with the old business class seat. It's quite bigger and newer than the 757 versions. The bette...

Re: United Airlines orders 4 more 77W, converts 100 737MAX's into 100 737MAX10

Any plans to refresh the interior on the Arbii? The news FC seats and carpet is nice but the sidewalls and bulkheads are quite dated. I get the reason they removed the closet but there's really no divide between the galley and cabin up front.

Also would be great for them to update the AirTran 753...

Re: UA ORD plans and focus on domestic business

Good to see UA adding back domestic. Anyone have insight into them adding gates to B or C? Also status of new gate layout and seating? Seems a few gates are still testing seating and layout. Also, any plans to update overhead signage? The blue signs are the original from when the terminals opened. T...

Don't believe he was forced out. He'd have to wait too long for ceo at AA. This is a path albeit will compete with new cfo and commercial officer

Brilliant move by Oscar
