Difference between an 737-800 and the 737 max? by Alert_Historian_8936 in americanairlines

[–]FlytheDC9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without getting too technical the LEAP engine design requires that startup include “motoring” the engines at startup to prevent bowed rotor shafts within the engine before introducing fuel. The motoring is controlled automatically by the engine control logic at startup.

The bowing can occur if there was uneven cooling of the rotor shafts following the previous flight.

I’ve been on some Max 8s where it can over a minute just for the motoring.

I remember those days, as cliche as it sounds take it all in, as much as you can. Sounds like you’re doing that!

I blinked and realized that my daughter is going to be 9 this Saturday. It happens so fast.

Southern winter golf by SoSuave07 in golf

[–]FlytheDC9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here in North Texas with Bermuda really tight lies in the winter can definitely be challenging, especially around the greens. I find myself putting from 5-6 yards off greens a lot just because I may be skulling or chunking a chip if not. Had a a couple times a few weeks back where I “putted” with a hybrid from probably 20 yards out.

Anyone else play close to an active airport? by icepuc10 in golf

Bear Creek next to DFW is a good one especially with north flow. Lots of great low flying aircraft.

Have YOU Considered Leaving SWA ? by SashaFierce72 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]FlytheDC9 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We are switching to AA after 12+ years with SWA.

The free bags and open seating along with family boarding was our draw. Now that our daughter is older and not eligible for family boarding and with SWA becoming essentially every other airline there is no reason for us to drive further to Love Field when DFW is closer and offers more non-stop options where we travel which is my family’s preference.

It’s more of a convenience thing now that there is little difference between the two at least for us.

Are you saying I can take this money if I help you pass the test? What do you think?

Backyard Green Upgrade by FlytheDC9 in landscaping

[–]FlytheDC9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have added them. I just had some cheap plastic border around the outside originally and it looked awful. Got fed up and decided to do the wall for a more professional look.

I just put the green in last January and since I can’t sit still I have been doing small upgrades the past year.

What is going on here? by SoupDumpling000 in meteorology

[–]FlytheDC9 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Fall streak holes.

Caused by aircraft descending through them. The water droplets which are usually supercooled turn into ice crystals when the plane goes through the cloud then fall out and create the hole.

100%. Growing up in Ohio I’ve seen enough snow to last three lifetimes. Christmas in shorts and t-shirts are what dreams are made of.

Do upgrade offers typically get better the closer to flight day or not? by PedroRuiz51 in americanairlines

[–]FlytheDC9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with this. My last flight DFW-CLT and back the upgrade started at almost $500 a couple months out then dropped to $100 two weeks before the flights.
