So wait, is the child a U.S. citizen??? What rules apply if you're born in international airspace?!?!!

What an idiot!!! :shakehead: Was alcohol involved??

Would that count as one customer or several??? If it is one customer, who needs 21 787's???? I doubt it's an American carrier, any ideas???

CO argued that there are no nonstop flights to Shanghai from the US Northeast and that the New York metropolitan area has a "far larger" population than the bases of its competitors Northwest Airlines (Detroit), United Airlines (Washington Dulles) and American Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth ...

Will this still be a "737" or are we looking at a totally new airplane (797??)???

Where can I get the info. on the "requirements to be met" for the licensing???

the A380 performed well today, besides some minor glitches the pilot reported, the airplane handled well during the flight and all its systems worked fined.

If anyone knows, what were these so-called "glitches"?????

142 pax in, 142 out.

Always a good sign.

Another thing, I don't think Continental has 772LR on order, but that could change soon though.

I doubt Continental would need the extra range of the 772LR. Especially if they get authorization from the FAA to fly Polar routes. Unless they start some sort of IAH-Sydney route..... Ultimately ...

They can actually afford to repaint their airplanes?? I have to admit though, it does look nice......for an Airbus. (Kidding)

Are pilots actually stupid enough to fly THROUGH thunderstorms over there?!?!?!! My only experience with a sickness bag was when I was already sick from food-poisoning and had to fly the morning after. I reached for it, but fortunately didn't have to use it. Oddly enough, someone told me once that ...

I have a question for anyone who knows the FAR's really well. What are the duty-hour limitations for pilots in any day, week, month, year?? Notice: I'm asking for duty hours, not flight hours. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I thought they already replaced all the 707's with 757's.

Not quite sure. You may be correct.

That would be interesting to see an Air Force One replacement. Then they could use the ones that they have now as backups and ditch the 707's.

Im asking myself if it will make a huge difference in fly time across the atlantic ocean?

Probably not since Greenland, and Iceland are so close. Gander is there also. Pacific routes, and Polar routes will be affected the greatest. I know of a certain airline that just started flying to Shanghai ...

8O Jesus!! I can't believe they didn't lose hydraulics on the left wing!! That damage looked devastating. Any word on the whole situation and how it all happened?? The aircraft is definitely a write-off, BUT, it's only the -200.

Here's another one for you: imagine <enter your least-favourite airplane manufacturer here> would modify their FBW systems so you don't have to use the rudder at all.

Ummm, ever heard of a yaw damper???

However, it is the drag which the engines have to overcome. Obviously, an airplane has to create lift to match its weight... the less drag, the less cruise thrust needed.

Very true. Any aeronautical engineers out there that can help us out????

Requiring less skill means that the pilots do not need to understand why they cannot operate in certain regions of flight. Are you honestly telling me that you would prefer to have less skilled pilots?!?!?!!? If the pilots do not understand the complexities of operating aircraft in certain ...

Actually the Pilot in Command (PIC) is the pilot actually in controls of the aircraft and this can be either the captain (left seat) or F/O (right seat) depending on the captains choise.

Ie if the F/O is handed over controls by the captain (sign "You have controls" reply "I have controls") then ...
