The new incident briefing room marks the first use of an Apple iPad on Delta’s computer system.
Is the incident briefing room above 10,000 ft.? :rolleyes:

Got a question. So I know this dude, he has a problem findin someone to snap his bean if you know what I mean. Everyone he is around is old, gay or ugly except for a cute one or two. Problem is, he don't like old, gay or ugly and he let that be known around the world when his microphone was on when it was supposed to be chillin'. He messed up. Now old, gay, ugly, cute, boss, and local reporters are mad at him.

What should he do?

Sincerely,
FTB

He should bid the MD88.

BTW, bus full of mechanics were all on board the 717 rumor. If we could figure out how to keep the engines in service at a reasonable cost it would be a great addition. Of course if anyone else could figure out how to afford the overhauls, they would keep them.


In other maintenance related observations. The cost to maintain the Airbus products is redonkulous since EADS is not letting anyone make parts for them. The four official suppliers charge something like 10 times the cost of similar Boeing parts. Maintenance says the airlines that ordered the 320 at Paris are replacing other Airbus jets before they have to do heavy maintenance, or are just thinking very short term. FWIW.

Someone must not have got the memo ... this is Southwest:


US FAA is proposing a $250,000 civil penalty against Orlando-based AirTran Airways for allegedly operating a Boeing 737 on four passenger flights without properly repairing or testing an angle-of-attack sensor on the aircraft, which warns if there is a potential loss of lift, after it was struck by lightning during a flight March 20, 2009. FAA also alleges the airline “misused the Minimum Equipment List when it decided to defer the repair and continued to operate the aircraft.” AirTran, a subsidiary of Southwest Airlines, has 30 days to respond to the agency.

Quantas in play
 
Quotes from the CEO suggests Qantas is in play. Perhaps alter ego replacement by jetstar, who knows:


However, Joyce said that Qantas International is forecast to generate a loss before interest and tax of approximately A$200 million, on invested capital of more than A$5 billion, with a worse result expected next year. "Qantas International is the group's weakest business—it has achieved required returns only three times in the past 15 years. Clearly the situation is not sustainable," he conceded. "However, we are developing a long-term strategy aimed at restoring competitiveness and profitability."
Qantas will likely announce a major shakeup of Qantas International later this year.

I can understand Carl how an educated pilot group is threatening to you.
