Well, SJI is gonna take another crack at hauling the stowaway back stateside, this time with extra marshals...

Given she's a Russia citizen, I wonder if she's going to be given a choice of an airplane westbound or a train north-eastbound, France seems to want nothing to do with her.

I've definitely seen this happen as a pax, and on derg's airline no less. I dunno, can they do anything once someone goes in there and locks the door? Is there a master key somewhere?

There’s no actual true method of locking the door.

Most of the nets have those accordion-style doors. So if you flip up the little metal flap, that’s a direct connection to the locking mechanism.

If it’s an actual one piece door, there’s a slot on top or sometimes beneath the handle.

Ask the flight attendants. They should know.

Computer systems are down. The mighty DECS has fallen.

Do you think my Christmas Eve sim will be ground stopped?

 

[JEP]

...And as we turn the corner for the home stretch AA pulls into the lead....

If they want to make it realistic

 

[EDUC8-or]

Back up and running.

Did someone forget the C prompt?

 

[NovemberEcho]

Back up and running.

Speaking of realistic, Iin the sims for AAL do they teach you to slow to 210 40 flying miles from the airport as discreetly as possible, especially when flying a 767?

Somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed on Christmas Eve.

Sorry, I guess the light hearted intent was lost over text. But yes I got up for work 0445L for work which is always the wrong side

Nah, they only teach that in the 727.

Ugh. I am not now, and have never been a morning person. Let me sleep until 8, and I'll be wide awake until two am.

Unfortunately, this world was built by morning people, so unless you want to be a bartender or a musician you have to wake up 3 hours early and be exhausted by mid afternoon.

I wish AA still had the 76s

There should be a
"Change"
"Change"
and a "Cross of Lorraine" in there somewhere

Lol, I remember when someone who works for AA bashed the FAA for outdated tech and said privatization was the way to fix it.

Looks like America West is the winner…so far
