  1. The airline could perhaps sell their slots. However in this case after cancellation. It is at Boeing's discretion
  2. Oh now this is amazing. should file a law suit against mother nature while they're at it
  3. Well you can move the plane without a pilot. no big deal.
  4. I don't buy it for a second! the explanation simply doesn't make sense! And I would believe 737NG pilots would agree with me. Here's why! I would only assume, the aircraft was on autopilot, its in cruise, wouldn't make sense to not be on autopilot, but who knows! Turning the rudder trim, for even 5 full seconds continuously, won't be able to provide such a dramatic effect!!!! I'm missing something here!
  5. Hope to get a glimpse of this bird on my way to the office later. Would be rewarding to have a glimpse of the 787, and then go into the office and work on the 787 simulator.
  6. sometimes there could be a few problems with the box if I'm not mistaken Just need to get the person to reboot the box or the USB connection It will come back , don't worry !
  7. Wow, that sure is quite a fire starter ... I've seen quite a bit on both sides of the fence, and I wouldn't say one is better than the other or vice versa
  8. Notice that the airport they requested to land on , is not their destination of choice , hence this aircraft would have been holding for some time , and burnt their holding fuel , and then decided to divert. I've also heard this happen in our Malaysian Airspace with certain carriers requesting priority due to limited fuel remaining. Of course these aircraft always have the option to go to Subang if fuel is critical ! Poor planning ? Company Policy ? Who knows?
  9. Going into Singapore , I believe Malaysian security is slightly more flexible, from the other direction however , things could be different. But maybe if you explain to them politely , there should not be any problem
  10. ok nitpicking again , Baggage allowance per customer ECONOMY Checked baggage 20 kg Cabin baggage Una pieza, 7 kg
  11. Maybe , just maybe , I'm being over sensitive about this. But here's the story, reminding me to check in online ahead of my flight on Wednesday. So sure, I head on over to the Singapore Airlines website , and..... bang! It's in Korean. No problem, I can remember where to login to my KrisFlyer account and surely, it will know, that my language preference is English right? I mean if it could figure out I'm in Korea, wouldn't it be smarter than that once I log in ? But never mind that, I'll just change the language. Where the hell is that? Whoops, its in Korean. P.S : Haven't the ability to resize this , nor edit this. so excuse the other tabs and the capture size.
  12. I love the SQ330's . I usually purposely plan my flights to do all my sectors on the SQ330s. Seat is great , entertainment is great ( albeit slightly laggy ) My biggest complaint is , it is very very very warm. They do not provide the directional blowers that each passenger can adjust on their own Meanwhile , while I've never tried the MAS one , I believe they have it.
  13. Well in this case , it is in no fault of the AK aircraft
  14. DATE: 26.06.2011 LOCAL TIME: 12:07 LOCATION: Kolkata-Intl AP (VECC) COUNTRY: India AIRLINE: Thai Air Asia TYPE: Airbus A320 REGISTRATION: - C/N: 32797 AGE: 8 y + 4 m OPERATION: ISP FLIGHT No.: - FROM: Bangkok TO: Kolkata VIA: - OCCUPANTS: PAX: 141 CREW: - FATALITIES: PAX: 0 CREW: 0 OTHER: 0 INJURIES: PAX: 0 CREW: 0 OTHER: 0 DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT: none 1 The pilots landed on a closed runway but managed to roll out safely. At the time, the main runway 19L/01R was closed due to temporary maintenance works from 11:30 to 14:30. Ground workers were alerted by the approaching aircraft and quickly fled the runway just in time before the A320 touched down. The incident is under investigation.
  15. Radzi , refer to this : http://www.jacdec.de/news/news.htm
  16. great share and what a disappointment with the A400 , and the A380 for that matter. to be on home turf , and be handicapped like that . but that didn't prevent them from reaching record numbers of course
  17. Seems this story is being kept well under wraps
  18. Great stuff As I mention before , I miss the times where this was a weekly affair
  19. great to see the good turn out . disappointed that i couldn't make it
