Wonder what the case will be if we ever put Saabs on the CLE routes?
One can turn out of DUJ and leave very little prop blast or one can sandblast the agent and the windows. It's all about choice. Try to make good choices

If I see them out there with a power washer, I'll know who chose what

Codeshare with Delta, and Silver is working on a $45mil deal to fly Q400's out of FLL for longer Bahama flights. Oh, and new manuals. Again... ALL RUMORS here folks. Believe 0 til you see them on campus, with company paint, and Silver pilots flying it...
Nope. Isoa standards specifically have a carve out for aircraft that are not capable of being equipped with such a door, I.e. 1900.

FLT 4.5.1 If the Operator conducts passenger flights utilizing aircraft with a flight deck door, the Operator shall:

And

The specifications in this standard are applicable to passenger aircraft not included in FLT 4.5.2 with the capability of being equipped with the specified flight deck door.

Whatever happened to putting the Runway analysis and CTOT numbers on the dispatch release? They are no where to be found on the new release.

At least now theyre putting winds aloft for the right cities in your route, nothing like FL weather info when you're flying in ATL.

News for the day: NCI = No Check In. Apparently they are getting strict about checking in and out. Unofficially, I've been told it is now acceptable to check-in via your smartphone or tablet. That is all. You stay classy, Silver Wingers.
