AA3023 Incident. DEN - MIA, July 26 2025

Yeah but I bet you burnt your fingers on that stupid touch screen door lock keypad that requires several dozen attempts at entering the code because your body temperature finger didn’t register an input in the 1,000C heat of the keypad.

*triggered * So is @Boots2Wings probably.

Look, I’m not saying that if you ever read about an AS FO going Office Space printer on a jetway door in Vegas, it will be me, but I’m not saying it won’t be either

Also, if it’s so secure the pilots can’t open it, you KNOW it’s safe from ter’rists

A lot of pilots I know would struggle with this so the LAS door locks aren’t surprising.

I just bang on the window and beg a cleaner for mercy to let me in. But an LCD baking in sun 18 hours a day (west facing) was duuuuumb

I had this in DLH in a CRJ around -32 deg C

It was a cold dark morning. Even with gloves my finger tips and fingers lost feeling/strength. For first flight, we were supposed to open and check the avionics bay. That involved pushing a button, handle comes down, turn it 180 deg and then push the whole thing up and slide into the bay. I couldn’t make it work. I came back inside, hands frozen, and literally said to the CA that it was way too cold and I couldn’t get it open, and certainly no terrorist could either.

Memories of trying to fit milk carton shaped boxed water into circle shape water bottle holders in the flight deck.

Duuuuuuummmmb like Vegas.

The AvHerald narrative reports that the LH MLG strut collapsed during the takeoff roll above 120 knots. Not indicated if a tire issue caused the strut collapse, or vicey-versey.

They need the fantastic Redbox solution.

Virgin America started the trend in this country and ruined safety videos. Now they are a joke. No one takes them seriously.

I’d say very few took them seriously before. If a safety video with a modicum of entertainment isn’t keeping someone’s attention I doubt a crew member just reading off a safety card in front of a camera will change things. People in general seem to have the attention span of a goldfish.

All I could think when I seen this video was “maybe we can take a few notes from Japan”.

It’s almost like there’s something in our culture, perhaps even an economic system, that has so entangled itself into people’s mindsets that they prioritize their stuff over the health and safety of others or even themselves

Admittedly I haven’t listened through a briefing in a while. Is one of the required items to leave baggage in case of evacuation?

 

[SeanD]

The amount of idiots (with bags) face planting is astounding!

I think its hilarious and deserves a Yackity Sax edit. I love instant karma.

 

[Comair 100ER]

Hey I did land a full -900 in LAS the other day and could hold my bare hand on the brakes afterward

what flap and auto brake setting?

“In an evacuation, leave everything behind and follow crewmember instructions.”

Or some other variants.

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

what flap and auto brake setting?

MAX 8 at SBA with every seat full and one FA jump seat. Flaps 40, autobrakes 3, disengaged autobrakes with speed brake handle and didn’t close TR until idle. Easily made A4 if that’s the correct designator the second to last left turn off. 6000’ ish runway. Brakes barely even warm to the touch. Couldn’t feel heat when I put my hand down there and touching barely registered more than the ambient temperature outside.

Its even worse now…its a touch screen pad.

Cant see it in the sun, still hot as hell to the touch, and takes forever to process
