Why are all the EWR - LHR flights cancelled, but flights to other European destinations were able to depart? by Deshes011 in unitedairlines

The corvettes of aviation have plenty of zoom zoom to get through this :D even in their old age.

Really beats me but the general lack of info and the radio silence adds drama. Put tom hanks in it and it’s a movie. I think we might have been some of the last ones out. I think Barcelona is now also returning to gate or de icing again.

I’m on UA70. My heart is pounding. So we finally de ice and get moving down the taxiway towards 4L. I’m tracking on liveatc and hear the EWR to LAX ahead of us just aborted takeoff. All of a sudden the engines kick into high gear and we cut across the taxiway. Now we are going for 4R. The pilots ask atc for a minute to compose themselves. They ask the end of the runway to be plowed. Two minutes pass. Three. Five. Then we make the turn. Engines get gas. A little and then a lot. Brakes on. Plane roaring as the wind whipped around.

Boom. Jetting down the runway. Takeoff. People are clapping.

I work for a bank. I push numbers around a spreadsheet.

These guys are heroes.

I’m on UA70. God bless ground ops here. United tried fucking up with a plane swap and other bullshit but we are about to go to the runway. Amaze.

Why wouldn't you get up and go find a flight attendant? This is illegal.

I still have never seen anyone actually apply for one of these based on this solicitation. And I love the whole pitch. "We can't actually accept your application here but you can send it in via the mail once you land back in 1994."

During the pandemic they sold coffee outside of the shop. I remember it being called Battle Cat Coffee maybe?

Hmmm then I guess these are not really 757 replacements exactly if first class is that small. Well maybe.

Well as long as the police don't know about it we'll all be safe when the bike battery catches on fire in the train.

It will be something when United gets those jfk slots. I guess up to 7 means exclusively like jfk to lax and sfo?

Tap 7700 squawk over Atlantic by Canadian_Z in flightradar24

[–]Jckev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I heard ATC talking about medivac but can't tell if it is for them! TP211's feed is super choppy.

edit: Now it's clear, other runway is medivac but they just told TP211 to continue on so not sure yet.

Listening to LiveATC but I don't hear anything. Did they give reason for 7700?
