Or is it NRT being attacked by UAL/ANA, AA/JAL, and the Japaneese government...think I see a Delta bird trying to fly into the mix....

 

For you guys that live in the PTC/Senoia area is there a local bank you would refer. How is the service at the Delta Credit Union?

 

Great art. Are you guys discussing credible, media-based, MH370 theories or what?

 

I use both Bank of America and DCCU. They both have provided good service to me.

 

Does the DCCU have a bunch of over the top fees?

 

No, free checking, rewards program and overdraft protection. I've been very happy with them, even living in LA where there are no active branches. They have "co op" locations with other credit unions that provide deposit and withdrawal privileges.

 

i can only speak for myself but i had a great time, met a lot of great people and enjoyed all 3.5 years. its a very nice place with a lot of nice people.

nice enough that your kid can be in this mass of excited people and be just fine...

It's been an interesting case to follow, because virtually all the information has been filtered through non-aviation media that have been wrong more than they've been right even while quoting aviation sources. Basically, what I've picked up is that the ACARS VHF transmissions shut down (supposedly manually) before the MH370 even went feet wet around Kota Bharu. However, the engines' maintenance computer is designed to keep pinging info back to Rolls Royce via satcom once out of range of VHF - if the carrier is signed up for the service. MH was not signed up, but the satcom system still checks in with the Inmarsat satellite once an hour. It last did this at 8:11am MST (GMT+8), roughly 7.5 hours after takeoff. Likely the pilot, or whoever was in control at that point, had no idea the Satcom system would keep doing this. Based on the ping response time from the geostationary Inmarsat satellite, they've established a number of arcs - one an hour - along which the airplane had to be each time it sent a ping. Based on the expected cruising speed of a 777 and the range given the FOB at takeoff, they've established two possible routes and rough final positions for it to run out of fuel (shortly after the final 8:11 ping). One is in Kazakhstan after a route through western China, and one is southwest of Australia in the southern Indian Ocean. The former is unlikely due to the number of military radar systems it would have had to circumvent (India, Pakistan, China), and the latter is unlikely for any theoretical reason other than suicide with the intention of hiding the evidence - which unfortunately every other piece of evidence supports. In any case, they don't seem to have any theory for which they've been able to find a motive on any theoretical perpetrators' part. Pilots are pretty straight arrows near as they've been able to tell. CA is a bit weird with a homebuilt flight sim in his house...and strongly supported the least nutty, least corrupt opposition politician in MY politics. FO was somewhat religious, but let a South African hottie ride in the flight deck last year while he & the Captain lit up a few ciggies. Dunno.

 

Best 4 years of my life. Hopefully you will get to a couple of games while she is there. WDE!
