Thx.
I read the contract and search it pretty often. But I constantly find myself asking...
How does that alan shore know so much?

 

Deleted. Early morning post.

 

Tis true. When bidding to go to the 717 I asked for the two days off. When I went to bid for my line the month prior to training I decided to do a reserve line and just bid all of my favorite days off. I thought that PBS would award those days automatically.

It does not. I ended up on RES up to the day I started class, no 48 hours off. Turns out I was told you still have to bid those days off and if you don't get them off then that provision kicks in I guess manually? I didn't follow up, didn't care.

I'm starting to think he wrote it.

I kind of think of him as using one of those intelligent PBS like voices to calmly inform us of why he wrote it the way he wrote it, and it all makes sense...

 

My understanding is we are going to some sort of quick matrix like download. You'll walk into the CPO, get your download, be good to go on bulletins... charts... manuals... revisions... hell, how about a whole new plane in a few seconds? Thanks to our new IT department, dun. don. dawn. dam. dan. your new name is dan and your mission is to...



seems legit.

 

Just hand out cards with secret 4th floor phone # and a "call anytime" logo...

 

There you go, problem solved.

 

Incident: Delta MD88 at New York on Apr 2nd 2014, hydraulic failure and runway excursion

A Delta Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-88, registration N992DL performing flight DL-886 from Atlanta,GA to New York La Guardia,NY (USA) with 118 passengers and 5 crew, was descending towards New York when the crew reported a hydraulic failure and decided to divert to New York's JFK Airport requesting runway 31L (length 14,572 feet/4,442 meters). The crew indicated they had lost all hydraulics fluid, had no brakes whatsoever, the gear doors would be open due to manual gear extension and they had no nose gear steering. JFK Tower advised emergency services that runway 31L (runways 22 active) was reserved for the emergency and would be closed as soon as the aircraft landed, they were cleared to proceed to assist the aircraft as needed after landing. The aircraft touched down and slowed on the runway, the crew requested chocks repeatedly stating they had no brakes, both engines were shut down, fire brigades told the crew they would apply chocks as soon as the aircraft came to a stop. The aircraft went off the runway at low speed and came to a stop with all gear on soft ground.

The passengers disembarked normally via the rear stair of the aircraft and were bussed to the terminal.

The airline confirmed a hydraulic problem prompted the crew to divert to JFK Airport due to the longer runways available. While taxiing to the gate the aircraft exited a taxiway.
