My one day of RSV this week is tomorrow 4:30 am - 4:30 pm. Off Thurs/Fri....assuming I don't get JMed again. As of right now (shockingly), there's nothing on my schedule. I'm already prepping for the 4:31 am phone call. :) Assuming they DON'T call me, I might be up for hanging out. I think I might have lost your number in the cel phone debacle a few weeks back, though.

Ready for this? Our flight ops doesn't accept faxes anymore! Yeah, no more faxing in your medical when you get a new one. So, we all just scan them and e-mail them in. I give it 3 months before they make us walk them in. I'll make my "best effort" to get that in on time if they start doing that. Back when they still accepted faxes, my AME would fax it to them 10 seconds after handing me my copy.

Incident: Delta Airlines B763 over Moncton on May 3rd 2009, technical malfunction
<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>By Simon Hradecky, created Tuesday, May 5th 2009 20:27Z, last updated Tuesday, May 5th 2009 20:39Z
The crew of a Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N182DN performing flight DL-88 from New York JFK,NY (USA) to Kiev (Ukraine) with 212 people on board, decided to return to New York when the aircraft was just overhead Moncton,NB (Canada) at FL310. The aircraft climbed to FL320 initially, turned back, then descended to FL260, FL200, 16000 feet and finally reached 14000 feet southeast of Bangor,ME (USA). The airplane continued to New York at 14000 feet for about one hour. The crew requested runway 04L for operational reasons indicating, that they'd do a normal landing though they might roll farther down the runway than usual, then performed a safe ILS approach to and landing on runway 04L with equipment on standby. The runway hadn't been kept sterile.

A replacement Boeing 767-300 registration N180DN resumed the flight and reached Kiev with a delay of 5 hours.

Delta Airlines confirmed, that the flight diverted back to JFK due to technical reasons, but did not release any details.

Transport Canada has no report of the diversion.

The Aviation Herald asks passengers to contact the editor through the contact form on this site (see menu at the bottom of the page).

It was indeed a two-fer.

I get a LOT of gossip off the radar, but I largely keep my mouth shut until it hits the newswire!

I was digging around for news of that American Airlines crew screaming over 121.5 just west of 30 west with smoke in the cockpit and some bonehead announced "you're on guard!"... What a dork. Really? You're a rocket scientist. We'll keep all of the emergency crap on ramp freq and when homeboy starts turning and descending in the track system, we'll all just feel the disturbance in the force and act accordingly.

Can't believe someone would actually say that on the radio.

The "you're on guard" comment? It get's said pretty much EVERY time somebody says something on 121.5 that they meant to say on Ops or Ramp or any other freq. And then somebody normally comes back and says "so are you" and then you either hear "doh!" or a whole chorus of "you are too!".

Fun stuff.

The "guard police" are probably one of my biggest annoyances. Odds are pretty good that whoever transmitted has done the "Why haven't they answe.....DOH!" by the time someone plays the "You're on guard" comment. Which, of course, means the person they were berating for being on guard probably won't even hear it. But, hey. Whatever makes 'em feel important.....
 
I wish we could monitor guard, but our company still requires us to monitor DL radio...even though they can easily contact us via ACARS to fulfill the FAA requirement to be able to contact anybody in your fleet at any time.
 
I love the guard police. The disdain in their voices is amazing...like the offending pilot is a wife beater or drunk driver or liberal democrat. I did hear a "you're on guard" chain one night that continued for over 5 mins.

Yup...

You can hear some pretty entertaining stuff on DL radio though.

If ACARS is deferred, we have to monitor the company frequencies (not that half of them work airborne), but if we've got ACARS, we're required to monitor guard above FL180.

Rapid, reliable communications has been interpreted to be a 15 minute window. So go ahead, have that second coke and take your time in the lav....

That's for the comment on the other page....:bandit:

We had to at Skyway and when I was on the 727.

Do you guys have SELCAL over at ASA?
 
We had a medical situation once and the other FO was trying to arrange a phone patch thru HF over the Atlantic.

Apparently forgot we had SATCOM! :)
