Re: Status of Westjet Premium-Class Upgrades

I flew Westjet on the MAX YYC-OGG-YYC in late Feb 2019. I found out that MAX tails 301, 310, 311, 312, 313 and 315 have the new premium seats. The new deliveries are coming with these new seats. We were lucky to have the new seats on the way outbound, and they were much better than the original seat...

Re: Screening inconsistency

The Delta is quite a bit underexposed - looking at the levels in PS it seems you may have forgotten to adjust them? The Westjet looks out of focus and oversharpened in an attempt to fix. I have the same question as Kas - were these rejected for different reasons previously? Unclear how this relates ...

Re: PHX terminal 4 spotting

Going through TSA if you have TSA pre-Check takes only minutes. If you don't, at each checkpoint I noticed this December they have a wait time list for each of the 4 checkpoints.

For the amount of time you are there, not going outside security would be a real missed opportunity in my view.

Re: PHX terminal 4 spotting

In the morning the south side (WN gates) and whatever is taxiing from the north to south if aircraft are departing east to west. Afternoon is the American gates but you will see Westjet, Rouge, Volaris and possibly some taxies from T3 if departing east to west. You only need to take the elevator (fr...

Re: WestJet Christmas Miracle Video 2016 YMM

No limit on how far Westjet will go to make themselves look good. Using the folks in YMM for a publicity stunt is nothing short of disappointing. Life in YMM is a huge challenge for a lot of folks still trying to re build. The recent cold snap only increases that challenge. Not the " WAY TO GO...

Re: Announcing Our New Creative Queue

Well, it died a slow death last time for reasons I do not know. Also the site migration didn't help in terms of a stable operation. The current backend is better suited to our needs, so it's about time we resurrected A.net's active approach towards creative images. Plus last time they didn't have m...

Re: Pre-Screening: Fence

Yes, in this case it would be a motive rejection. The image is also soft and suffers from heat haze

Re: Should I upload to a.net?

RE: First Screening Doubt...

RE: Post Screening- Motive

The first crop seemed perfectly fine to me. I have noticed in screening and appeals some screeners are questioning these tight nose crops. It is motivated by cropping to the nose on left, top of fuse on top and gear on bottom. Looks a bit flat but I don't think I would reject for contrast, light see...

RE: Not Screened Yet Hot Picture Upload 26 April

You sent the email requesting priority on April 26. You received a reply April 27 (roughly 4 hours later) that it would not receive priority screening because it was unpainted.

Hopefully that answers the question and clarifies how long you had to wait for a priority screening response.

RE: MLP86 2016

It also seems flat and oversharpened. Looks like it needs to much work with levels, curves and shadow/highlight to be acceptable.

For me the tires were fine in the original, your revised image has better contrast on the fuselage.

Centering has been discussed a lot over the year I have been a contributor and screener. I think Angad pretty much hit the nail on the head with his reply.

I'm not sure what the time line is that triggers the vaporization of the edit button on queued images. I have found it isn't necessarily static, sometimes gone in 2 days, sometimes still there after 4.
