Hey, anyone know what a S3B is when we travel on an RJ? We are S3C and there were several "above" me on a couple of legs. I couldn't tell if they were Sky West retirees or parents.

Here is another one that is extremely scary. I can't believe they made a successful landing.

S3B on an RJ would be S3CR unless its on 9E or OH. I've gone to the airport a couple of times having ignored the retiree block on the standby list only to discover the retiree/parents in question were from AS or OO and I dropped below them.

Anybody notice in the notes that "the investigation was started after this amateur video surfaced" and not "the investigation was started after a bunch of people almost died?"

Ah, russia...

I'm diggin the new main page of APC. The author says he invented a new term about the industry called "stagnation point."

Ha! - stagantion would seem pretty good out here in LAX. I'll see his "stagnation point" and raise him with my own new industry term "Regression Point." You know you are at the regression point when you don't give a crap about the next AE, because all you do is go backwards. Hmmm maybe "Retrograde point?"

Boeing is also assessing potential upgrades to its 777 widebody range, including reengining the planes and introducing larger wings to improve performance.
"One thing I'll make sure we don't do is enter the design phase with technology that isn't mature," said Jim Albaugh, chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.



This quote was in my Scottrade news brief this morning.

I agree that no parents should bump a working employee, especially a working crew member. Nothing like the parents of a Delta new hire getto ramp rat not listed showing up and bumping you from getting to work! A new rating for all working crew in uniform going to work should be S3A.

I disagree, I believe that the employees and thier pass riders should have a higher priority than some OTHER companies employee using the aircraft to get to work, or wherever. That is the benefit of working for that company( usually not much of one but still it is as what it should be). If you don't work for Delta, and you want a ride to work fine, however...A Delta employee's family should and does have a higher status. I expect the same when I am jumping on anyother airline, and really, why should it be different?
