I am so utterly, fist fuckingly confused here... is your working theory that some sort of extremely (so much so as to be undetectable) minor atmospheric anomaly could have the same catastrophic end result on an airliner as shutting down the engines? I am quite surprised the moderator(s) still permi...

Sad to spend their final years of life working but there’s lots of guys I know who re-married and are in their 60’s and have kids in university. Cost of living isn’t getting cheaper. I would suggest they become simulator instructors. Companies don’t really want these guys flying because it makes fo...

Awaiting arbitration next August. We’ve been told most/all of the 22 upgrades planned are gonna be canceled for 2026 now that the ARs are staying. Boomer here…… If such is the case it’s truly despicable and disgusting, those old boomer dudes should move aside and let the younger generation get thei...

The thread derailment metrics on avcanada need to be studied. I swear you guys spend way too much energy arguing with each other. Yes, Jetz is generally nice. Yes, we fly the BlueJays. Next thread. Kinda sorry I brought the subject up even though it was kinda point of interest for me. I wanted to p...

The Jays flying is being done by WestJet Lmao. Wj sponsors the team. They don't fly them. Most of the professional teams in canada are done by jetz. With all due respect this feels like Dumb and Dumber having a conversation. A simple Google search shows Delta has the contract to fly all MLB teams i...

It must be a well sought after assignment to crew Air Canada JETZ as of late bringing the Jays to their post-season destinations and back. Late night travel it seems but it would appear(to me) a different kind of schedule.

Labrador Airways had one of those things early to mid ‘80s running from Goose to St Anthony and St John's, remember seeing it around. They had a few incidents with it, gear collapse, lots of electrical issues if I remember correctly. I knew couple of Captains on it at the time, they dreaded it as I ...

This is scary - Nouvelair overflew the easyJet aircraft lined up on the runway. https://avherald.com/h?article=52d656fd&opt=0 Juan Browne has more info (The company name is pronounced NEW-VEL-AIR). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvGGnfz2DXw I'm surprised they didn't collide given the height of the...

Why do people always act as if the money disappears into thin air. As if none of that money involves a return on investment, job creation, or tax revenues, and as if none of that money comes from private investors or general consumers who want something better. Renewable and sustainable energy and ...

Should've taken a close look at the picket line, that petite brunette who refused your offer to have a drink in your hotel room has bigger balls than any pilot by staying on that picket line. We are the literally the definition of getting played by their union. World Class Contract? Leave no penny ...

Strange game indeed…… Air Canada isn’t an essential service, it’s just one of the many providers( transportation) and there certainly will be no huge economical crisis in letting this strike continue, just an inconvenience to those who are caught out. Governments who resort to calling in the dogs - ...

Kisik Geospatial and Aerial Survey from BC, aircraft C-GYYP and one confirmed fatality.

Some more info floating out there.

These GEnx 687-8 engines have an automatic relight feature; if they were doused somehow (a flameout), that auto-sequence starts off by first cutting fuel for ventilation and then re-introducing it again for the re-ignition process. Yikes — at first glance didn’t see it — it looks like with that sys...

That's going way further into the realm of speculation. Never said that was the reason, I merely think it could be a case of deflecting blame, for whatever reason. We don't know anything else. Air India spin possibly as follows: Unbeknown to us at Air India, the Captain was under serious stress/str...

DanWec and Planenuts put together a very interesting “ human factors “ stance. Going forward in the investigation will probably head in that direction.

These switches can't just be bumped. They have to very deliberately be lifted and moved. Each. As far as FO's using them, I'm only making assumptions on Air India's SOP's but should be plenty in the sim, but also starting and shutting down engines on single engine taxi in and out, etc. Will probabl...

The switches are close together there, just like the intakes from the two fuel lines are closest together when sucking from the centre tank; so both engines would have been getting their fuel from basically the same area of the airframe’s supply. That way any contamination possibility would affect ...

Certainly no shortage of speculative theories out there.

Incredibox Game With such a positive experience, do you (or your daughter) plan to continue using WestJet for future business trips to Europe, or will you consider other airlines? And will the “avoid connecting via YYZ/YUL” factor become a permanent criterion for future travel choices? Yes, I think...

The Indian government is extremely corrupt, they will try to spin this as boeings fault. This is an extremely high profile crash. I'm pretty confident we will get the truth. I suspect you are very much correct in that “ high profile crash” is an understatement. Latest generation commercial airliner...

They are not to blame for this. But protecting Air India is most likely their priority.

Not uncommon…. Egypt Air 990 in 1999 is a good example.

Most certainly, I need the isobar study and multiple wind readings from around the airport before I can come to any kind of conclusion. :o AAHHHHH you beat me to it! 998hpa is lowest pressure stretches east/northeast of the airport (wunderground Ahmedabad airport data also nears 998hpa). “Smoke” wo...
