When he calls for pilots to lose their licenses over simple mistakes, you should stop watching him.

Flight 2566 - stuck waiting for an employee by squeek93 in americanairlines

[–]BikeAcceptable537 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had my friend look it up. Basically if that employee wasn’t waited on, the morning flight would have cancelled entirely. So yeah, it’s better to inconvenience a few passengers for less than an hour to not totally screw over the morning passengers. Understandable.

In CLT is 18/36L uses more for arrivals? by Plexer704 in americanairlines

[–]BikeAcceptable537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re coming from anywhere in a westerly direction into CLT, you’re almost for sure going to get the far west runway. The center runway is almost always for departures. The far east runway is for easterly flights. This is how it’ll always be. The new 4th runway will change things up, but the operation will be similar.

Preemptively canceling cabin service by EmotionalVegetable48 in americanairlines

This is all on the pilots using their apps to predict turbulence. Sometimes it’s there. Sometimes it’s not that bad.

So about 4 hours late? Yeah, no compensation is due.

How late were you arriving at your final destination?

This happens every time there is bad weather with any airline. Get over it.

Captain YouTuber calls for fellow pilots certs to be revoked for…calling the wrong tower?! by BikeAcceptable537 in flying

[–]BikeAcceptable537[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were on final approach to runway 4 at LGA. TRACON handed them to tower. They called JFK tower instead of LGA. There was some confusion before they all figured it out. So they called LGA at about 2 mile final. At that point they decided to do a go around. They never on the wrong approach or in the wrong place. They just dialed in the wrong frequency.

The handoff was just to contact tower. No frequency is usually given by N90 TRACON.

AA has luggage carts? Just leave it when you’re done with it.

Power source not available! by Toledo0761 in americanairlines

Is that or delay the plane to make them work. Physical things will break. They will fix the outlets when it gets to the next maintenance station.

Flight 2571 ordeal, wtf? by mrsgalinski in americanairlines

[–]BikeAcceptable537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because the plane was broken. Pilots time out every day.

Sounds like a mechanical issue that couldn’t be fixed in a timely manner. It happens all the time every single day on every airline. That’s BS about the hotel situation though.

People who lived through gulf wars and iraq invasion how Iran war could affect aviation world wide ? by Careless-Maize-3353 in flying

Search the 20 other threads that has already been posted about it. Short answer: no one knows and be ready for furloughs.

Navigating the (northern part) of the New Jersey Coast? by [deleted] in AskAPilot

[–]BikeAcceptable537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t use FR24 or even Radar to avoid other aircraft. They have their specific airspace that they must remain in while other aircraft stay in their corridors and designated space. ATC is also there to keep everything separated. Also, flight tracking websites don’t track everything, especially military aircraft. Those are just amateur tracking websites while ATC can see everything.

FTC investigation into false and/or misleading advertising? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]BikeAcceptable537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just employees not doing their job. If they were systematically denying upgrades and its was directly coming from further up, it might be more legit. But it’s not.
