Agreed, probably just a shift of wind direction to a tail wind, described by someone with the wrong terminology.

looks like they may be headed to an alternate now, providence Kind of surprised they'd divert to PVD instead of BOS unless they don't think they can spare a gate at BOS.

Jump to postThere is very little defense here. It is creepy no matter how you try to justify it. If I saw a passenger in a terminal take a video from a low angle of flight attendants I would find it creepy. That fact that it is a work colleague surely makes it worse. This all just seems unseemly and weird. Cre...

Jump to postMy CPL examiner nearly failed me for proposing a much better road as a suitable off-airport landing site.

Jump to postFrom the pilot side, I've never once been told that I shouldn't change my code when I have an emergency and because I have never been told to not change my squawk code I would 100% change it.

Jump to postcommercial airlines don’t even use these codes anymore. They only would if they had a radio failure or if there’s ever a hijack again. No one switches for emergencies.
