Attention all airmen, there's a possibility that, somewhere within this geographical area a third the size of the entire country, there may or may not be turbulence and/or dangerous convective activity, or not, maybe. You have been warned. :rolleyes: If its 1960 you could say hey, it's better than nothing, and get your navigator to plot it for you etc. In modern times its an obsolete relic that belongs in a museum right next to a sextant and cockpit ashtrays. There is much better information available now, and we're the only segment of aviation that not only doesn't embrace it, we go out of our way to resist it. Its long overdue. Especially in the era of billion dollar quarterly profits and lighting 6 Billion dollars on fire just to labor can't get it. |

You probably don't do your TPS reports either...I've been waiting on those.:D |

An 85 mile downwind lateral offset? That seems implausible, unnecessary and likely to create other problems. Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

I thought the same thing. Even downwind, 20nm should be more than enough.

I request the latest TP's when I enter a new geographical area (Europe, NA, Eastern Canada ...) I plot them if it looks like we'll go through them. This process, however, can take a good 10 minutes.
If they uplinked to Route 2 -- and only the ones affecting your route -- a lot more guys would use them. Someday :rolleyes: |

http://terriblycute.com/files/2012/0...ny-632x355.jpg It was like 2am and my wife wakes me up. At that moment, I didn't who she was. She said it was Delta. I had no idea who that was either. She said it was scheduling. This isn't getting any better. Then I don't know what I said. My wife the next day said she was listening to me talk and felt like saying "WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" He mentioned a green slip. So I told him didn't I just pick up a 2 day white slip? he said no. And he was right. I have no idea why I said that. He told me it was a green slip. I said okay. And I'm not sure what happened next. Or how it ended. But I did do the trip. For the record, I don't drink. And I never will. |

Bigger profits headed our way, unless of course our "smart" people found a way to lock in paying 50% more for fuel than we otherwise would. With the bankruptcy history behind us and how much Delta pilots gave up, how anyone can justify taking so little when the company is so flush is bewildering. |

I use them all the time on long flights. Generally they correspond to turbulent areas on the aloft charts. So you have strength of bumps and altitude. I look at it compared to our route on the aloft chart and if it's near us, I plot it on rte 2. Smooth ride when everyone is sleeping is my goal.
You probably don't do your TPS reports either...I've been waiting on those.:D My TPS reports were rejected because of my cover sheet. |
