Fatal crash at SLE this afternoon.

Any significance to the flight number UA15906 at 0:34 in the video? Using the decoder it’s OCK. Not sure if that means anything.
Jump to postBreeze dealing with probably it's biggest operational hurdle since launch. TPA closing at 5pm today until 10am 7/7 due to Tropical Storm Elsa. Will also probably affect CHS a bit too. Luckily Breeze doesn’t operate any scheduled flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so there shouldn’t be any cancellat...

No, in Cottonwood Heights, Utah where their HQ is. So 6am MST, 8am EST.
Well 6am MST is 7 am MDT in Utah, 9am EDT.

Jump to postOn another thought, Breeze will start up just in time to get ready for a busy summer. In my view, they've already missed it. People don't plan their summers in May; they do it in January and February. Maybe they’ve missed a decent portion of advanced planning summer travelers, but there are a signi...

Wouldn’t the extra boarding door offset the weight to the port side? Wouldn’t that affect the symmetry of the fuselage? I always thought thought a boarding door was always exact opposite each other the counter weight the other. No more than 2-3 seating screws up the longitudinal weight and balance....
Jump to postIt would’ve been interesting to see an option for a 2L boarding door on the MD80/90 or 717. There is plenty of room on the fuselage for an additional door with no obstruction for a jet bridge and would help speed up boarding times and provide an enhanced first class experience. Weight and passenger ...

Jump to postNo. If a Southwest 737 has an emergency, a United 737 pilot (for example) absolutely canNOT fly it. The cockpits have completely different layouts and instrumentation, and the UA 737 pilot would be unfamiliar with SW's setup. It is physically impossible for anyone other than a Southwest 737 pilot t...
Jump to postI was #2 for landing for 24R when tower advised both us and the LOT 787 ahead that a small earthquake was happening. We were both cleared to land and landed uneventfully. LAX operations never slowed down but ops and CFR vehicles were continuously performing runway and taxiway inspections.
Jump to postI don't understand the Pepsi hate. Does everyone feel like they have to pick a side and just choose to pretend to hate Pepsi? It's okay to prefer one over the other but like both. I have a hard time believing a lot of you saying Pepsi is gross actually hate it. This thread is like the Boeing vs Airb...
Jump to postRe AA at JFK Someone should send me an award as I called this! I will make another call, most of this stuff is never coming back. They are ToAAst at JFK. 1. Most of these markets bleed money for them 2. They will use this as a test to see how intl and business contracts hold up while these routes a...
Jump to postYou (and many others) started off this thread by calling everyone idiots so you can't blame people for calling you out when many reliable regulators have agreed with the subject of this thread over the past 24 hours. Review what you just wrote, particularly those last 4 words.... then see if you ca...
Jump to postThere's still little physical correlative evidence however you've admitted to switching sides for grounding even though the grounding is still precautionary. You seem to have a problem admitting when you're wrong. As in keeping with the general motif of my commentary: you assume wayyy too much. I'v...
Jump to postHopefully you learned some humility in the way you talk to people on this site. Yeah right. :lol: Screaming for grounding prior to ANY correlative evidence was still illogical as hell. No change in stance there. It's a shame the way you condone yourself on here, you seem knowledgeable too. I joined...
Jump to postWhat's unbelievable is such idiotic levels of assumption are taken even remotely seriously. Repeat after me: You... Don't... Yet... Know... What... Caused... This... Crash. You can't even say what the primary contribution (human, mechanical, aeronatical, combination) was on the most *basic* level, ...
Jump to postIf it were an airplane issue, it will be swiftly fixed. Unfortunately, that swift fix isn't going to bring back the lives of the 300+ people who perished in the 737 MAX within the past 6 months. Temporarily grounding the fleet until they've figured out what the issue is would be the safer option. W...
Jump to postIt's embarrassing seeing the frequent a.net users spitting in the faces of others trying to have a discussion about the MAX by posting condescending sarcastic responses. If you don't think the MAX should be grounded make a reasonable argument, but knock it off with the rude posts. Yes all we know fo...
Jump to postIf you have some data that shows WN off the pavement more than others, I'm all ears. Part of the problem, of course, is that WN operates into some airports with short runways; if anyone is going to have a problem at BUR or MDW, the odds are it'll be WN. (A fair retort is that WN's processes ought t...
Jump to postSo the AA overruns at LIT (hull loss, significant loss of life), KIN (hull loss), and JAC don't count? I may well have missed a few. So AA in 1999, 2009, 2011. Okay... Southwest: Burbank 2000 - Runway overrun Midway 2005 - Runway overrun Midway 2011 - Runway overrun Islip 2012- Taxied off taxiway L...
Jump to postAlso consider the sheer volume of flights WN operates daily in the US alone. No one else seems to have the problem of staying on the runway except WN. Good luck with your ETOPS application. So the AA overruns at LIT (hull loss, significant loss of life), KIN (hull loss), and JAC don't count? I may ...
Jump to postDid you not read the NTSB report? It’s NOT an accident; it didn’t crash from accident, it was stolen. GF You're confusing the literal definition of an accident: an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, with the NTSB's definition, which aren't interchangeable. Just beca...
Jump to postNot being investigated by the NTSB, as noted above. https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20180812X92421&AKey=1&RType=HTML&IType=FA I’m confused. I said nothing about NTSB investigation. A hull loss is definitionally an accident regardless of who investigate...
Jump to postThe flat ones, like at PDX, the bags come back if not picked up right away so you have to dodge those bags while offloading Normal days I could unload quick enough to have last bag on the belt before the first one came back around. But IROPS was the worst when there were up to 100 unclaimed bags an...
Jump to postFlat carousels are more difficult for rampers to deal with because you’re looking for a flat, open area to send the bags out (since not-yet-claimed ones keep coming around to the bag well) whereas the sloped carousels never have the bags return to the bag well. Sloped carousels in the bagroom suck ...
Jump to postAirlines seem pretty good at identifying passengers under the influence of alcohol or drugs. With a bit of a limp, so ineligible to sit in an exit. Passengers with too much or too large hand luggage. Passengers who are too untidy or smelly. And airlines are very good at recording passenger informat...
Jump to postWhile I agree with your comment that family should have been with this woman, it doesn't let AA off the hook. Wheelchair services are contracted to third parties at most if not all airports, airlines themselves don't move wheelchair passengers around. Yes AA cancelled the flight but her whereabouts...
Jump to postAfter reading both articles that Mjoelnir provided, it is clear this woman should not have been travelling alone. A family member should have accompanied her. Tired of these kinds of stories. Take care of your damn family!! Never trust your loved ones to strangers. STRANGERS While I agree with your...

They’re not talking about it because they’re badly over budget and behind schedule. Taxiway work the next 3-4 months will only add to the misery of flying out of SEA.

Jump to postI was looking at the map of Sky Club locations around the world and noticed something strange. There are only 2 locations outside the United States, one in Narita and one in Santiago. Narita makes sense, but I don't understand why Santiago would warrant a Sky Club. Anyone have an idea why this loung...
Jump to postThat's just a very poorly designed bag chute. Every bag has to be lifted up over the railing. I blame the employee much less than whoever decided that design was a good idea.
Jump to postMy previous post was deleted, but here was what I said. I don't understand why my post was against the terms of conditions. I'm just stating what happened in real life. What's up with the moderators? I flew the three airlines recently and DL was the best and AA was the worst. Here's why: On a three...
Jump to postIt's up to the passenger to plan for unforeseen circumstances. For example, when I fly, I wear cargo pants so my passport, wallet, phone, necessary medication and such are on my person at all times. That's not true at all. If I lost anything in an aircraft fire, you bet the airline would be respons...
Jump to postWhen you are PIC and you have an abnormal situation, you will at that moment be glad that at least the 1500 hour rule attempts to raise the bar to a bare minimum.

Jump to postShort answer, Horizon alone can't staff what Alaska needs. Same reason Compass got the first 20 American E175s instead of Envoy. What the hell are you smoking. Envoy didn’t get the first 20 175’s because our pilot group refused to bow to the demands of management and take concessions. Compass got t...
Jump to postI find it hard to fathom anything a passenger could carry onboard with them that can't be replaced. Documents, medications and the like can all be replaced. That's what consulates/embassies and pharmacies are for. You are at an airport in a foreign land. You have lost all your ID documents and mone...

Jump to postAnd at any rate, if WN was acquiring HA, getting rid of the 717s makes no sense. Yet that's exactly what happened when they acquired AirTran.
