I can’t give any proof so you will pretty much have to take my word for it but FI have been getting pretty good numbers on that route and I would be surprised if they would stop flying to DFW
Jump to postHaving listened to the ATC recordings I am having a hard time piecing together the roles of the pilots in this emergency. Why is the captain on the frequency most of the time and not the FO if she was Pilot Flying? Does anyone have insight on this?

This revised livery wouldn’t be as awful if the grey belly were dark blue and with the old yellow line. I also can’t get used to seeing the tail with out ICELANDAIR written on it
Jump to postFI just bought a former Arkia 757-300, so we should see the new livery on a 757 very soon. I would not expect that, this revised livery is most likely done to make the MAX more proportional, like the ydid when the 767 entered the fleet, (drew the belly line lower than on the 757), I think the new -...
Jump to postIcelandair is still listed with one 787-8 on Boeing website. I’m very close to the management of FI and trust me, that 787 isn’t going to FI. Don’t remember what the plan was, if it was to sell it on right away or put it on long term lease. Regards! Sveinn :) The point was if FI has one on order or...
Jump to postThat's pretty impressive if they can support both IAD and BWI. As stated above, it was only a couple years ago when they pulled out of IAD, and the nearest airport was JFK. I use to fly Icelandair a lot back in the 2000-2005 time frame out of BWI. Earlier in the thread somebody mentioned FI going 3...
Jump to postCan anyone explain how Icelandair keeps hopping from airport to airport in the area. This is what the third time FI has come and gone from BWI in the past 15 years? They seem like every other year they flip flop between IAD and BWI. I know for a few years, we did not even have service in the WAS ar...
Jump to postThere is also wow which is as cheap and have a more sustainable model. The idea that low cost is solely due to Norwegian presence is not accurate. Many airports are getting lower tatl prices due to Iceland airlines options. I don’t think Wow are a more sustainable model, for the past few weeks Icel...

Boeing looking to insource avionics for the new MOM
So we can't put our political opinions aside for a few moment to discuss Delta's mistake regardless of who was at the receiving end of it?
Jump to postYes I would say Boeing is slightly ahead of AB in the filed of aircraft and aerospace manufacturing. Don't get me wrong AB is a great company that build terrific airplanes many of which I enjoy riding in. Did you know that Boeing even does fight training in the AB for customers that have Boeings an...

Do you think this regulation is fair and useful for either the pilots or the airlines? Personally I feel that yes it is useful in the long run. Its a matter of having more exposure and overall experience even if it is only in a single engine aircraft. I don't see why that is a bad thing. So you wou...
Jump to postThere is a flight instructor shortage in the US. There is no need for anyone to fly in circles for hundreds of hours. That is the assumption that is ridiculous here. Are there a few that actually do that? Sure, but it is no means reflective of the common path to the regionals. The few that "fl...

FI has 763's now. They fly those only to JFK on this side of the pond I believe. They could conceivably add more if the want to go head-to-head with WOW, but they don't need to match them in every city. FI has a very faithful passenger base.
If I recall correctly it was a knee-jerk response to an unfortunate accident in 2009. But how much do young pilots in the US gain by working extremely hard to pay for those extra 1300ish hours they need just to get a flying job ? Flying around in circles for months just to meet these FAA regulation...
Jump to postThis happens all the time in Europe. 20-21 yo RJ FOs used to be common place in the US as well prior to the 1500 hour rule. Presumably there was a reason for the institution of that rule.
