The spinny things will cool you off on a hot day

If you want to see us sweat, stop one of them.

Okay. I'll just pull the breaker on the packs. The engines will still run perfectly, perhaps better, but you'd be getting a bit uncomfortable. Oh wait you think engines are the spinny things, my bad.

Well it may be SEA with the fuel shortage. Long haul and some Alaska flights start making fuel stops.

Leak in Olympic Pipeline threatens jet fuel supply at SEA Airport

Crews are working through the night after a leak forced the Olympic Pipeline offline, threatening jet fuel supplies and disrupting neighbors.

They certainly ventilated an airplane in Dutch Harbor (too soon?)

Which ones do I pick for Boeing somehow going all “WILDCARD BITCHES!!”?

Turns out they used spare MD11 pylon lugs to attach the wings to the MAX.

The problem with the Comet is they screwed up the tail. From nose to nacelles to square windows it is so sexy. Then they stick this old school looking tail on it. It just screws up the vibe. That is an even worse sin in my book than in-flight disintegration. Remember darlings, it's better to look good than to feel good.

Only 5% of this forum will remember Fernando’s Hideaway.

Sigh

I voted for pure incompetence. I mean the last de ice vender we had put only type IV on top of snow filled wing. What’s the worst that could happen, right?

First major deicing event last year. It took us two hours to get from the gate to the number one slot for deicing on our own ramp. And I watched them attempt to deice a 321 with type four, then type one.

Hilarity ensued.

I non rev’ed to Montreal and it started snowing in SEA. Air Canada uses Delta to de-ice at the S gates in SEA. So I was wondering if it was any different than the clown show on our ramp. They put a bunch of type 4 on top of 2-3” of snow. I had a great view of it. I was only missing popcorn.

FLY DELTA JETS!

Speaking of...tell me their isn't a sexier looking jet airliner than the Convair 880. I dare you.

Sadly, the Air Line that would clean shop with retro liveries isn’t planning on any ;(

It’s a fairly solid deicing program when:

A. It’s not ATL
B. Pilots stay out of the way of people trying to do their jobs.

I think SEA has a lot of problems. In general. It’s never gotten sorted out since I have flown here regularly.

Not trying to pick on any one airline. I was just an amused pax watching from my seat.

It is requested and required that this be resolved prior to my commute home.

I’m going through there the next 3 days because I hate myself apparently
