Oh Alaska/Boeing

[knot4u]

You cared enough to come in and type a response.

I only did that because I love you.

I am with my family on a certain mouse related trip in SoCal with no clue how we are getting back to AK. I’m really hoping this clears up in the next day or so.

Aaaaand they’re saying snow in Seattle on Thursday, that just adds to the fun

 

[Roger Roger]

How many airlines does this AD impact?

I think in the US only Alaska and United.

Wouldn’t it be crazy if someone intentionally set up the cockpit with an optimal eyeball position, and then gave you a little alignment guide to help you set your seat properly for said eyeball position.

What’s wrong with a black and white diagram showing you that your sightline should simply be an extension of the slope of the glareshield?

I saw that, plus the 18 they thought were good to go actually aren’t.

Wonder how close that sucker came to hitting the horizontal stab? Yikes

I was texting with a few LCP’s about this yesterday…none of really think the plane would fly if took out an entire side stab.

The other thing we talked about…PDX-Hawaii, and it happens halfway there. Gonna make for a not so fun time.

The HGS makes it the main problem. This makes it a CA problem but if you sit too low, you can't read the HGS. FOs tend to sit lower than CAs do. Boggles my mind that the HGS was designed with a fixed position.

The entire training department on the other hand…..the only way they’d be happier is if you brought back @MikeD ’s 200

Their opinions are invalidated by the very nature of their opinion.

Apparently an iPhone can survive a fall from 16,000 ft.

Why stop there. I say 727's with no max age limitation for the S/O. I've got a 727 F/E license. I'd work for Alaskan.

@Roger Roger I'm sorry this is so not learjetty......you can forget your sleek, possibly fun plane. I will recommend a listen of Chuck Berry's hit "you never can tell"

 

[bike21]

Do I get pay protected?

Yep. Straight outta the Boeing Board’s personal estates.

Forget the iPhone, who made the case?

"Seanathan" .....I don't trust people that call themselves Seanathan.

apparently he he was not observant enough to blur the other spot with the owners name
before he went to work on his thirst.

I wonder if they will just give the phone back, or the bureaucracy monster will keep it as "part of an ongoing investigation"?

 

[invadertim]

Looks like the incident aircraft was having pressurization issues on prior flights.

Alaska Airlines plane had warnings days before mid-air blowout

 

[dustoff17]

you should read it and then come back so you can discuss it in an educated manner

This is laughable. You forget who you were responding to?

I suspect there’s enough money in the pot for them to pay me my relative pittance, so thumbs up.jpg

Communist. Real capitalists privatize gains but socialize losses.

Wait.
