This is actually a good question because you could guess the fuckup is that the crew thought they were assigned flight A, but the passengers for flight B were boarded. This leads to a lot of other questions like "what happened to flight B's aircraft and crew?" and "what about flight A's passengers" ok, heres BA3271 which is 7:30ish am flight LCY-DUS: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BAW3271/history/20190325/0740Z/EGLC/EGPH Theres a 7am LCY-EDI: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BAW8700/history/20190325/0700Z/EGLC/EGPH And a 9am LCY-EDI: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BAW8704/history/20190325/0900Z/EGLC/EGPH They're not even the same type - E-170 vs E-190 so idk. hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Mar 25, 2019 |

I finally made it to Udvar-Hazy, it's insanely overwhelming. Just walking on the promenade and seeing two of the fastest, highest-flying vehicles ever made... https://i.imgur.com/Sc61Ku9.jpg Then there's something for everyone: Biggest engine ever made  Big planes  Small planes  Space planes  Leaky planes  Rocket-assisted suicide planes  Really efficient rotary-wing suicide planes  Big wastes of time and money.

slidebite posted:So, logistically how does this grounding work for airlines that need the airframes? It sounds like it's not an insignificant amount of the fleet for some airlines. Are they recommissioning old stored aircraft? Lease? Or do airlines have that many frames kicking around that it's not a big deal? One of the reasons I believe (personal opinion) TC announced their ban a bit delayed was to give AC and WestJet a chance to get their maxes back to Canada. There were still a few leftovers, but the ban was for passenger carriage, repositioning ferries were still done after to get them to useful parking spots. AC is wet leasing Air Transat for a few domestic routes, pulled a couple of e190s out of the desert, and delayed sending a few back to the lessor. Slight silver lining is it's still shoulder season (barring March break), so the widebody fleet has taken had up a lot of the slack. Nearly all the flex is gone out of the schedule now though, and things that can be put off is being put off. I think they delayed some of the WiFi mods. If it runs into summer, it's going to be a bigger problem.

AA has a system wide outage right now. They boarded us without the computer systems by just asking what our seat was and writing it down. No name, just the seat we said. Now they are trying trying to figure out what to do. They said they may need to reboard us, and for some reason the captain went on and on about not being able to complete W&B. He sounds super irritated.

My work travel site through Concur is having outage issues, too, all morning. Dunno if it's related but I'd really like to book my return flight home sooner than later if delays from other systems start snowballing.

Neat B.C. seaplane company’s plan for electric fleet is set for take off This company has been around and successful for ages, and it’s pretty interesting to see them going this way instead of having a new company start up to try out the technology first (and probably fail). Will be interesting to hear what they sound like, I hear their planes overhead pretty frequently.

Article says it's an engine issue which is completely unrelated to the current problem, but drat if that isn't bad optics for Boeing.

The issue is the placement of the engines in the design causing the pitch up attitude, not an actual issue with the operation of the engines. This Southwest flight had engine performance issues, not related in any way.

Both Wow and Norwegian started transatlantic service from CLE back in 2017. Wow ended their service last fall and Norwegian is delaying starting their Summer service this year. CLE used to be a Continental hub and had directs to Europe, there’s even an entirely unused international terminal that was completed right when UA bought Continental. Really disappointing that we aren’t seeing more long skinny routes from CLE.
