Kenya Airways Under Fire From Pilots For Flying 787s Too Fast

Yes I agree... This HAS to be illegal. I wonder if they have somehow managed to disable / bypass the audible overspeed warning. 10 hrs or more of that would be nerve wracking at best...

What does being a Trump supporter and a libertarian have to do with cost indexes? Are you here aviation stuff or political stuff? Political bullcrap belongs in the LAV and not in an aviation topic thread.

What the literal hell does a flag have to do with aviation? You need to go bro… seriously… it’s time for you to leave and find a hobby more suited to your mental state… like stamp collecting.

That’s pretty slow… I was expecting higher numbers… or is the 737 just that slow (not just the MAX)?

Did you know on the A320, you can pull the Normal Law Protections circuit breaker (E7) and then set a cost index of 999. The airplane will set a cruise speed of Mach 1.2 and going through Mach 1.0 the wings will rip off and you’ll end up a smoking hole after falling 35,000 ft.
So dangerous!

How often does that turn into having to wait 20 minutes for a gate or at least someone to throw sticks? That decides if it's a win.

Is there any data collection that could come back to haunt you or have the unions insured some protection in this area?

FOQA and it’s associated LOA between the company and the Union allow the company to access flight data and provides protection from it being used for disciplinary reasons.
If yougoogle FOQA LOA you can get the actual agreements of numerous airlines.

Makes sense. I'm familiar with FOQA. Wasn't sure if this data was covered. I guess it says something good about pilots that is hasn't been an issue.
@PeanuckleCRJ -
This is what we call here a “Sit B” and why you always bring your uniform to a line check.

Rookie. The old school LearJet pilots would just pull the overspeed breaker and push the throttles up, occasionally one would get into Mach Tuck. 7 spars won't let the wings rip off so they'd just go supersonic as they met terra firma for the last time.

External to FOQA, the ACMS/FDIMU may have sent off an exceedance report to maintenance if you're bouncing off VMO/MMO.
If the operation of an individual flight leg warrants closer attention, only the union gatekeeper is capable of identifying the crew (depending on the agreement at your airline) or contacting the crew (always only the union gatekeepers). This contact is normally done to gain additional context -- the "whys" -- and optionally provide feedback to the crew (again, depending on things). Like the slide said, except for "criminal or deliberate acts," FOQA data is not available for enforcement actions.

Is that like the “AutoRat” on the bus?
Somewhere approaching 30W we got an ACARS about one of our SATCOMs failing checksum and was in the process of failing and how if we wanted to re-rack it, here are the instructions.
About a minute later: *BEEEEEENG* ”ECAM!”

All of that is what an old man I knew called gobbledygook (gibberish). If you're not fighting a war or trying to win a race just fly it by the numbers.

Your airplane tells you how to 're-rack" a box in flight? That's pretty bold.Is that like the “AutoRat” on the bus?

Well, if you roll the captains seat forward, there’s a little hatch and a staircase that goes down into the belly of the airplane. And there’s a few server racks on the 330 that, if need be, you can perform certain resets if absolutely necessary.
The plane doesn’t instruct you to do that, but our data stream was showing that we were about to have a SATCOM failure.
Otherwise, that’d be some HAL9000 shizzle. “Processing…processing…I’ve just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit. It’s going to go 100% failure in 72 hours.”
And then the jet tries to murder us.
I watch far too many science fiction movies. Apologies.
