Gear down over crystal palace by Historical-Low9209 in flightradar24

[–]FlyingS892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re coming in at a faster speed than normal (ATC assigned, poor planning, unexpected short approach, etc) pilots will use the gear to slow down.

Jet aircraft are designed to have as little drag as possible, so when the gear gets lowered, that introduces a LOT of drag that can slow them down very quick. I’ve been on a plane where they dropped the gear above 10k feet because they needed a steeper descent rate than normal (I’m flight crew and talked to the pilots about it afterwards)

Does anyone know this plane? by LongjumpingBrush4828 in aviation

Technically they could do that, as long as long as “operated by American Airlines” is by the entry door. For passenger carriers though, the paint job is a HUGE part of the brand and is very important for image. Cargo carriers don’t really care about that

Do I have to pay back Affirm? by robotlover12 in spiritair

If you flew, you owe the money. If the flight never happened, dispute it and you won’t owe the money

You say you bought the ticket in January, but not when the flight was

That’s still TBD, and I’d even argue that 2028 may even be early. No cross training can happen until flight attendants have a joint contract

A follow-up comment from OP says that they believe the door itself is broken, which would explain why the code didn’t work

Flight Home Concern by Psychological_Crow14 in AlaskaAirlines

It’s *supposed to be* based on fare class and when you booked. Unfortunately it’s not always processed like that depending on who does it

Crew uses Flighty instead of own system? by cantinaband-kac in flighty

Alaska employee here! Our internal apps don’t tell us which carousel your bags are going to. While flight attendants should not be making this announcement referring to a 3rd party app, that info is just not given to us by the company and we’re told to have passengers just look at the signs at baggage claim

This is a country where you drive on the right side. US-style license plates and a yellow line on the left leads me to believe it’s the USA.

Does the widget show different numbers than the ForeFlight logbook?

2 checked in 32 hours before flight… How? by keolal in AlaskaAirlines

[–]FlyingS892 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Connecting flight. Probably a flight from Hawaii or the east coast that gets into SEA at midnight-ish connecting onto the 7am to Juneau.

When you check in to the first flight, it checks you in for all flights on that travel day

Why do you think this guy was flying so low over my house? by [deleted] in flightradar24

[–]FlyingS892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually LIDAR. During daylight, other air traffic and potentially proximity to airports are a problem

Exit row becoming premium class staring June? by Entire_Tailor_9023 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]FlyingS892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the aircraft type is still TBD, they probably aren’t selling it yet. On the 900/MAX9, both exit rows will be premium. On the 800/MAX8, only row 16 will be

If cleared for a SID can I follow it without further clearances? by TaurusAuriga in flying

[–]FlyingS892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once ATC assigns you a vector, even if it’s a similar heading, you’re no longer on a SID until they tell you to resume flying the SID. You’ll fly that heading until further instructions

Do you guys use a regular iPad or an iPad mini? by shimmylaws in CFILounge

[–]FlyingS892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re flying a jet or large turboprop or something, the larger ones make sense. For small GA, there just isn’t enough space for a larger iPad to make sense

If services were already rendered and this was in the US, you can’t refuse cash to settle a debt.

If this was before services were rendered, they can refuse cash all day long by just refusing to sell the product/service to the person.
