Always works, works on mobile, can pre download. I’m a big fan of piracy and work arounds, but there’s a price point where the value offered and the price are equal enough for me to pay. This is one of those instances.

I might be confused as well, he very well could be. If thats the case, then Gonky is the other guy that they bring on.Isn't "Mover" named CW Lemoine? I'm confused

I am by no means an expert but this knucklehead is wrong. There are a lot of aftermath videos of the wreckage on IG and one in particular there are a bunch of locals walking on one of the wings. At one point they try to flip it over. The flaps appear to be retracted. Now I have no idea if the impact put them in that position or what position they are in, but they are definitely retracted.
Warning: If you plan to look for this footage be warned that it is gruesome. There are quite a few charred remains scattered around. There was no way I was going to post it here.

For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'Is youtube premium ad free' themselves.
I mostly watch YouTube with the app on my TV, so I’m not sure if adblocker would work for that, but yeah. Nice being able to download longer videos to watch offline on deadheads or commutes too. There’s just rarely anything on any airlines IFE that I have any interest in seeing anymore.

All the more reason, as I stated before, keep your paws OFF the thrust levers once after V1 and until thrust reduction.
Yeah, I’m looking at you Younited buddy @Ian_J
At least if your seat slides back, you won’t take the thrust levers with you.

Fact-Check: Viral "Air India Crash Preliminary Report" a Hoax
A viral "AAIB report" on the AI171 crash is a hoax. It falsely blames a seat malfunction for the tragedy. Official information is that the real investigation is ongoing, and no cause has been found.

Per our book that wouldn’t be an issue. Hands off at V1… hands back on at gear retraction.All the more reason, as I stated before, keep your paws OFF the thrust levers once after V1 and until thrust reduction.

I remember the first time I learned that cockpit seats and their tracks were a RII, initially it seemed like an odd thing. It’s pretty important for the nut behind the yoke to stay put, in fact there’s a reason for the balls hanging from the center post of the windshield. I wonder if those are addressed in the MEL? I never looked it up but I can remember reading a well crafted and light hearted description of them here a long time ago.

And the F/O didn't, you know. Push them back up?

Not sure how credible the source I read this on is, but the CA was a line training captain. If that’s true, possibility it was leg 1 of OE and if that happened it could have been a startle factor and the FO trying to process what is happening at such a critical phase of the short flight. But I agree, green as lettuce I’d still go “let’s throw those back up cap-ee-tan”

Why would a 737 Captain who already knew about MCAS, when getting a stick shaker st liftoff, ask for autopilot on three times?

Boomer captain showed me this. Looked like it came in the form of an email chain circa 2005. I didn’t have the heart to tell him it was BS.No idea about this source or accuracy, so take it for what it’s worth:
