I'd like to meet an Airline CP who has time to hound guys on decent profiles!

Ahhh, I shoulda known. Ok, I pulled the book out... it was only 2 steps away tonight vs 3 last night... 737-700, Max Continuous Thrust Driftdown Speed(level off altitude, 100 ft/min residual rate of climb; weight based on the beginning of driftdown.) 150,000 lbs FL234 140,000 lbs FL254 130,000 lbs F...

Good to hear. I guess that means WJ is filling the plane if the price is that much higher.

That's a high-fiver fer shoor!

Just out of curiosity, does any WJetter know off the top of their head what that max altitude is on a 737-700 on one engine at max gross weight? Assume an average temp and such of course. We had a 332 blow an engine last week, required immediate descent to FL200, wondered what a 737 was like. 1st, ...

The clothes washing tag was the best.

Maybe we should pass new regulations forcing a minimum age difference of 2 decades in the flight deck!

My other fav is "Kill all Extremists!"

I'm no pineapple pilot, but if I recall correctly the APU only needs to run for the ETOPS segment, which is somewhere over the Pacific ocean. And, the APU is certified to start at FL410 if it needs to.

There was also no way to avoid the Jetstream either. The winds were 130+ knots right from FL190 up to FL410.

I thought the tories wouldn't risk triggering an election over the gun registry? Or is an election not a risk here?

I find it very ironic, given that "Sully" has been on a spree of promoting higher pay for better quality personnel in the aviation department, only to have 2 of us go on a rampage like this and clutter it all over the media putting us all in a bad light... Not to mention the ATL incident on a taxiw...

Holy wow! Maybe they'll make that copilot a real pilot sooner now that he's proven his heroshipness!

How much will the WS fleet actually grow when those 54 planes come online? Surely they will be parting with some planes by then? Didn't their first -700's come in 8 years ago already? Good question. I have no idea, but I doubt we have any planes close to retirement, even in the next 8 years. I just...

I hate intolerance... and the dutch.

I think it depends on your tax bracket. We get taxed on the ESP we buy, and I think we get taxed on the company's portion as well.

It would be funny if no one had been hurt.

V1 is the 'go' or 'no go' decision speed. It's your last chance to stay on the ground and deal with a problem without going off the end of the runway. Many factors contribute to the value of V1. For instance, on a slippery runway, V1 could be 20 kts lower than Vr due to increased stopping distance r...

This chart outlines an easy guess as to who may be starting the next world war. Insatiable lust for oil, anyone? We've seen it before.

What about the 5th thursday of the month?
