When I was an FA, we were never allowed to declare someone dead or allow anyone else to make that call whilst in the air. We would perform CPR until we had diverted, were on the ground, and the doctors/paramedics on the ground could take over. No idea how they do it at DL but could be something simi...
Jump to postCurrently trackable on FR24 as of 0935UTC https://fr24.com/DC87/244023ba I recently saw an ad recruiting pilots. A requirement was 12 hours of college level biblical studies.

Jump to postEurowings have just cancelled all their flights out of CGN from 1600L today until after first wave tomorrow.
Jump to postThe best I experienced in over 3000 flights was an A319 into MUC. I went to the flight deck and asked to shake the hand of whoever pulled that one off and the pilots looked at each other awkwardly and replied that it was actually an autoland. Until that point I thought autoland was only ever capable...
Jump to postManchester was my worst in recent years. Just awful in every sense. My favourite is probably Hamburg (though I am definitely biased, it was a second home for over four years) as I knew it so well and I really appreciate that it's not afraid to be an airport. It's not a shopping centre in disguise, t...
Jump to postWith my ex-employer in Europe we got nothing extra. No extra pay, no reduced hours, no extra holiday time in lieu. Luckily just by happy coincidence I always had the 24th and 25th of December off in the 8 years I flew for the airline (as FA). There was a heavily reduced flying schedule on the 25th b...

Jump to postThis looks a little more organised than the captain meeting the kid and then inviting him to the flight deck to sit in the seat on a whim. There's a national news crew there and the kid is wearing a uniform. I'm happy to be proven wrong but I'm pretty sure journalists don't travel on those flights e...
Jump to postI was unfortunate enough to be in the room with U2's CEO yesterday when the closure was announced.

A few points that could be improved from my point of view, not sure if they've already been discussed: The default way of showing photos when conducting a search makes them look lost amongst all the other information. The thumbnails have plenty of space to be enlarged considerably. I much prefer vie...

Jump to postSounds to me like the Honeywell 757 engine testbed. It has a third engine pylon above/adjacent to door 1R as well as a red and white livery. I believe it was in Farnborough last week too, so it was/is in Europe.
Jump to postUnless people started dying as a result of decompressions, and they find those deaths a direct result of lack of crew experience/training, this will never happen.

Jump to postI've also seen this on an Antonov 24 located on the forward right side of the fuselage.
