Jump to postI think it's interesting that Fargo has one of the worst, and smallest, airport terminal buildings in the state, and they had almost 450,000 passengers in 2018. Bismarck has a much nicer, newer terminal and they had around 248,000 passengers. Grand Forks also has a new, rather fancy terminal with s...
Jump to postIt will be interesting to see what happens to these hot and high airports in the next decade as the 757 retires into the dustbin of history. Weight restricted A320s cant be desired by the airlines. Is this something an A220 could manage at full load? Might be these airports will need to lengthen th...

Can’t wait. This is proof technology is making the world better and more efficient. All the talk about fatigue and early report times will go away. Drunk, sick and heart attack prone pilots go away. Airlines save $$$$ This is the future. So exciting (and strange at the number of luddites here, very...
Jump to postPipe dreams of Soviet Grandeur like the first SST and Space Shuttle knock off. Nothing but another failed attempt that will A-Be DOA, or B- sell 2-3 frames to Aeroflot that will fly a year or two before being inefficient, unreliable, grounded and then mothballed. Soviet engineers were very much aga...
Jump to postI suspect the C renovations will be half measures at best. They don't want to touch any of the asbestos stuff that remains in place there, so ceilings/major work won't happen, just floors and some cosmetic things. Ultimately, it will have to go in the next 10-20 years to a new/rebuild. The reason t...
Jump to postThe entire RJ market segment was based on the availability of cheap labor and outsourcing. Fast forward two decades and it has caught up with itself, word got out about how much people were being taken advantage of and that cheap labor pool dried up. It was a temporary unbalance in supply and deman...
Jump to post737Max lmao Saab 2000 Still in service. Sukhoi Superjet comes to mind.. In service. The Dornier 328 prop didn't seem to last long.

Jump to postCue pilots wanting a raise because they'll have to train on a new aircraft type.
Jump to postIAH fans are the new DTW whiners.
Jump to postObserving a "quantum change" as you put it, changes the result by observing it. Safety culture changed and airlines started taking it more serious, which was a great thing. What's happened is a classic correlation vs. causation. Pilot hour requirements went up and fatalities went down =/ ...
Jump to postAh yes. The crash that said pilots needed 1,500 hours for an ATP despite those involved pilots having over 1,500 hours. What transpired over those 10 years would be an artificial constraint on the pilot supply and cried of "iT'S a PaY pRobLeM". What transpired over those ten years was a q...

Jump to postSorry to bust the naysayers bubble, but those of us in these smaller markets are ALREADY paying a premium. I don’t understand how folks in markets with their $99 fares to Florida can doubt that those of us paying $500 can’t cover incremental fuel cost. If these are existing frames/used, then acquis...

Jump to postSounds like airlines being airlines. They sound alarms, but in reality they're for it. They're trying to get what they want too. Considering MCI is not a connecting powerhouse, there's little downside to the O&D community if higher costs are coming. It may limit upside, but there's nowhere to g...
Jump to postOnce again, absurd scope clauses keeping the reigns tightened on small aircraft and small communities.
Thanks ALPA.
Being shills for ALPA and pumping up the arbitrary 1,500 hour rule. Aka "important research."

Jump to postMight be the photo or my screen but that looks purple. They should have worked from a grey and yellow pallet not whatever blue and white.
Jump to postTrue, but with the worldwide shortage of pilots they will find reemployment easily, correct? Unless you were hired recently, maybe 5 years at the most, there is no way you would give up seniority for location. Deadheading 6 hours to work means you lose like a whole day off every week Maybe they sho...
Jump to postHow often do these storms happen? I was there for one in July 2011 and it hit the terminal complex, I think F9 took the hardest hit.

From the article "Uskanli raised other red flags while still at Los Angeles International Airport, but experts said a lack of communication and an airline's hesitancy to be caught on video booting a passenger played a role in allowing him to fly." Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Fly...
