Apparently not all the sectors that were due to go on strike, did so. Very unusual.
Türkiye is very respectful to the ANZAC graves and sites.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Famous people are unusual. They are either really pleasant and a joy to meet or just a snooty waste of space. I met the latter the other day.

Re: JFK Up-cock
Just over a year ago there was a near miss on the runway at JFK. It was at night, Delta (B737) was cleared to take off but an American Airlines B777 crossed that active runway. They had lost SA during the taxi. Fortunately, the Southwest crew aborted the take off before collision. Similar set of cir...

Re: BA009 revisited
@probes I don't know if it's still on the curriculum for the ATPL Human Performance section. I haven't done any ATPL exams for over 20 years. Curiously, we did not look at it during my Masters. Especially, since resilience is "big" and the new way of looking at improving crew performance is to highl...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
A very enjoyable trip to Tenerife courtesy of teh Big Fella and easyJet. We stayed at the hotel KN Arenas del Mar at El Medano. It's rather close to GCTS. It's a mecca for wind powered watersports. So I had a couple of lessons trying to learn to wing foil. It's very challenging. However, I have mana...

Re: BA009 revisited
It was exemplary CRM. I remember studying it during various ATPL courses (CASA and JAA). During a time when it was common to criticise poor CRM, this crew stood out as exemplars in how to do it right. One ATPL instructor (CASA) was a former Qantas pilot. He visited that B747 after landing. He said t...

Re: Boots and brakes
Yep, Maxarets needed spin up and if you'd left your feet "high" on the rudders, then you'd not get the spin up and cue a couple of tyres flat spotting/bursting.

Re: Boots and brakes
The Hawker (HS125) had a similar issue in that it had Maxarets, not ABS. So if you landed with your feet on the brakes, you'd end up with wheels locking up and the inevitable flat spot/tyre burst. Since I had a true GA background, my feet were always firmly on the floor, however, a few of my colleag...

Wow. As soon as I saw Truckee mentioned, I knew it was a weather related event.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Got home yesterday. I gave the crew some choc bunnies as a "thank you for flying today". I was rewarded with a cheeky upgrade. Seat's the same but the food is much better.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
3 days in Brighton/Burgess Hill at CAE. Tomorrow off on tour for 3 days. Had to show a bit of proactiveness and get myself home first. So I did.

Hydromet, agreed. When I drove through central Australia on the great job search quest, the Milky Way was absolutely spectacular.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Oof what a day. Fun little MTB ride in the woods with a friend and his pooch. (Half Husky/Half Rottweiler). It was going well until I got a flat tyre. Grr.
Legs had a bit of a work out and then nuked them in the gym in the afternoon!
