Pretty sure it's proven that the more a person sits, the earlier they are likely to...umm...expire. I encourage all the As to keep their seat while I do the walk-around :-)

 

When did this CA walk-around thing start?

 

Got this international SOS card with my ER training package (at least that's where I think I got it, I really am not sure now). Throw it out or is it somewhat useful? I've already got a Castanza wallet, I don't need another worthless card.

 

A Delta Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration N333NW performing flight DL-2845 from Minneapolis,MN to Rapid City Regional Airport,SD (USA) with 130 passengers, was on approach to Rapid City Regional Airport's [ICAO: KRAP] runway 14 but aligned with Rapid City's Ellsworth Air Force Base's runway 13 and landed safely on the runway of the Air Force Base.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 2.5 hours, then performed the short hop of about 6nm from Ellsworth [KRCA] to Regional Airport.

The NTSB announced they are investigating the occurrence, when the A320 landed at Ellsworth AFB instead of Rapid City Regional Airport.

The airline confirmed their aircraft mistakenly landed at Ellsworth Air Force Base. The aircraft later positioned to Regional Airport arriving there with a delay of 3:10 hours. The crew has been suspended pending internal investigation by Delta and pending investigation by NTSB.

Anyone know what equipment to expect for next weeks class? what is currently unfilled?

 

Bus, maddog, 737, and 717. Congrats!

 

Download the app, then register with the number on the card. That program gets you emergency medical assistance when overseas.

I almost threw mine away too until my first TOE LCA clued me in.

 

But does your Costanza wallet have a "Learn Guitar" pull-tab in it? 😆

 

I had a friend kind of bragging about a trip he had with a particularly unhealthy capt. On the trip, he bought the capt a bunch of cinnabuns to see how many he would eat on a transcon. Later he bought him a carton of cigarettes.

I prefer pushing them down the escalator.

I couldnt care less if a Capt takes a lap of the plane for me. But, if he makes the bunk...well, he's a keeper.

 

Everytime we fly over a lake, or down the coast of Florida, I remark, "look at all those guys having fun on their boat. I bet they are loving retirement. I bet you'd love retirement!"
