Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

That's a 747, but I can't blame you for not knowing the difference. Anything above or below a 737 isn't covered in your scope at any level or ratio, so they're all 190s. :D

Now that there's funny. I don't care who you are!:D

Funny, I just was thinking that same thing earlier today. But at least I got to hear the crew's experience level as military aviators. Made me feel safe, as I was sweating my nads off. I guess it's alright though. No one ever drowned in sweat.

Anyone know how to get a drop down menu on the Surface (as in Travelnet?)

Ya gotta attach the keyboard and use the mouse thingy pad. I have no advice on how to get it to recognize the keyboard:p

Sounds like we had a 744 get incredibly damaged trying to land in ICN last week- severe hail and turbulence damage.

6311 has subsequently been pulled from the desert, as this one is done.

So they didn't deviate to avoid the WX because ATC wouldn't give them permission? They instead went into a storm?

Believe me, most of us are trying.

I'm discovering a lot of the external "conditioned air"...isn't, many of the packs don't work well on the ground, and many of the gasper booster fans...don't.

The grumpy puppy doesn't seem much better than the Maddog on the ground as far as cooling goes.

I've yet to get that to work on the surface. Usually end up using my I phone.

I struggled when using the actual touch screen. As someone else posted, if you attach the keyboard the mousepad will work. Typical Surface 2 silliness.

Can't say I blame them. Here in the states that would be stupid but over China they might throw an S-2 your way if you **** them off.

Anything 'off airway' in China is owned by the People's Army. Deviating is rarely approved. That said, they should have declared an emergency and turned anyway. That could have easily ended a lot worse.
