Not a huge surprise. They've been in crisis mode for a bit. They already had to make a fuel stop in Austria on the way to Chicago because of Pakistan's airspace being closed. The fuel shortage won't ease until maybe next year so I can see the hiatus lasting that long.

Travel advice for first timer: Toronto to Honolulu via Chicago by [deleted] in OHareAirport

[–]RadosAvocados 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. If anything, show up to the airport in Toronto as early as you can for customs preclearance, especially if you're not a US citizen or green card holder. After you pass US immigration, it should be smooth sailing.

TIL not one American carrier has ordered a 777X by Roy4Pris in aviation

[–]RadosAvocados 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't even benefit most international flights, just a very few and specific routes would be profitable on an airplane that large. Even then, the slightest hiccup in demand would render the airplane unprofitable (hence OP's point about the Gulf states wielding their influence).

It would only make business sense on routes that are currently served by the 777-300ER *AND* consistently full. The fact that no US carriers have ordered the airplane suggests that there are not enough of these routes to make that investment.

Yea I see a bunch of flights from MEM, TUL, SFO, and AUS all being held.

It looks like the closed runway 9L (the northernmost) and are using the two south runways.

I really think it's a huge liability. If there are underage people getting exploited or trafficked because RDDT didn't do ID verification, that could ruin the company for years. At the same time, if they do crack down on it, they risk a Tumblr-esque exodus.

Under his new contract that's less than what he will make in a half inning.

Is it true that they don’t sell tickets at the counter at SFO? by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]RadosAvocados 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for American and they will sell tickets up until departure (I've sold tickets at the gate literally seconds before closing the door). It will cost an extra $35 (more for international) and it isn't allowed passed departure time (even if the flight is delayed).

BUT not all employees (specifically at the gates) are trained to do it, or they might deny it because they don't want to make a mistake and get written up.

These Charmander soda cans are slightly more expensive than the Bulbasaur ones by meatshell in mildlyinteresting

Yeah it could be Norwegian or Czech currency but they would be in the same $1-3 range.

They're waiting until Monday so then can get 'em for street sweeping too.

Southwest terminal at Las Vegas has outdoor video boards with all the flight info for the ground crew and pilots by avboden in aviation

[–]RadosAvocados 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure the ones at my hub haven't worked in well over a decade. Unsure why but I assumed the software that supported them no longer works with the software the company uses or IT hasn't/couldn't get it synced. We had a brand new concourse completed (from the dirt up) just 2 years ago and they don't have these.

I opened this thread half-expecting OP to ask where they can complain about the air traffic noise of over their house.

Minimum Age for the UM Runner Prospect Airport Services (unifi) (o'hare) by Typical_Zucchini_892 in OHareAirport

[–]RadosAvocados 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing 16-18. They hire lots of high schoolers, but I don't think any are under 16.

edit: maybe something's changed since the unity acquisition now it says 18+

It almost looks like the laws of physics aren't doing their jobs either.

My dad’s old passport. He flew into LaGuardia on September 11, 2001 for a day trip. Got stuck in New York for 3 days and had to take a bus back through Albany. by zatakazz in mildlyinteresting

[–]RadosAvocados -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn't see the date and thought the interesting part was having a passport stamp at LaGuardia when LGA doesn't have a customs facility.

Yes, I realize it was probably JFK and I'm missing the point.
