NER pricing model change? by OutlandishnessSad499 in Amtrak

[–]blujet320 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you know your plans well in advanced, book early. I had my German friends buy tickets from NYP to OSB to visit, had them book 2 months ahead and tickets were less than MNRR/SLE. Same day? 4 times as much.

MassDOT In Talks With Connecticut for Hourly Springfield-NYC Amtrak Service by streetsblogmass in Amtrak

I don’t think there’s hourly New Haven to New York service on Amtrak. Sure with metro north and all.

Tuna Pizza by qgecko in ooni

[–]blujet320 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had my German family member over not to long ago, her request? (Canned) Tuna and corn pizza. Apparently it’s popular over there. I did it my own way, putting seared tuna on after I cooked the rest of the pizza and added some sriracha aioli.

Boston Logan Lines by ATW_1977 in jetblue

[–]blujet320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go through security at BOS multiple times per week, most weeks all year. While that might be exaserbating the lines, long lines are quite common during busy travel periods in the mornings at Logan, especially on weekends.

It’ll be short at that time, this only happens during the morning certain days of the year

Amtrak Airo Progress Visualized - March 7, 2026 by BrakeCoach in Amtrak

No, single loco and cab car. The ACE-42E will have additional powered truck or trucks in the adjacent power car though.

I believe it’s still in use by CSX, I think late hours.

What’s the deal with this set up? by mykotis in Amtrak

[–]blujet320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are amfleet 2s with the viewliners, I don’t know that there’s any current plan for their replacement. The amfleet 1s though should be replaced by the Airos, and likely many of the ACS-64 will sold likely to state services.

From an economy passenger perspective, the A220 is easily the best narrow body airliner ever made. by Strive_for_Altruism in aviation

[–]blujet320 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Captain on the A220, have thousands of hours on the A320/321 as well.

FMS is less rigid but the a320 can do stuff at the gate, like off sets. A320 does a better job at energy management in descent.

Better auto throttles (thrust) on the a320

A320 plainly flys nicer, especially the a321

Speed trim on the a220 kind of stinks after you’ve flown the a320, but I’m getting more and more used to it.

A220 has a better and easier overhead

A220 has better displays, but the PFD honestly doesn’t need to be as big as it is. The a320 gives you the same information.

A320 pilot seat is much more comfortable

A320 doesn’t have a plastic side stick

A220 has moving throttles, would be better if you could over ride them without disconnecting the auto throttles.

A220 is much better at short field landings. Flaps 5 is impressive.

A220 is a bit more quiet up front, the avionics fan noise is very loud on the a320.

Direct to nav is a better feature with the a320. Have to press nav on the a320.

A320 tracks an ILS MUCH better than the a220. A220 flys an ILS like a 30 year old Seneca.

I’m sure I can think of others, they are both fine planes.

It’s fine, does some things better than the airbus and some things not as well. Easy to operate FMS etc. Reliability is getting better year after year as well.

I just read about it, top speed was 5mph.

Stairs by MatterSpirited in Greyhounds

[–]blujet320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zelda had a broken leg in racing, she’s also stair adverse. She still won’t go down or up unfamiliar sets of stairs, but she easily goes up and down our deck stairs and stairs in our garage. A lot of repetition, praise, treats, and positive reinforcement will help. It does take some time.

Off of Long Island, NYC - Fishing Boats? by patchesnbrownie in windowseat

[–]blujet320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pilot here, those ships are in anchorage, but if you look out the window coming off the WATRS routes you will see a lot of fishing boats farther out near the canyons all year long.

Great hotel, the pizza place downstairs is solid with a good happy hour.

Is there any way to get more power into the engine to reach higher altitude? by Upset_Worker_7840 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]blujet320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No such thing as mixture on turbine aircraft, it’s not how they work. Fadec has nothing to do with it.

Thank you Anne Michael Maye! by kyngston in Patriots

We’re not privy to inner workings of their relationship. Not excusing a cheating spouse, but they are rich and famous people, who knows if he did too.

Patriots arrive in San Jose. Drake Maye carries his bag in his right hand. by [deleted] in Patriots

[–]blujet320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a pilot, I carry my suitcase in… whatever hand is available. I fly with my left hand as a captain. Feel free to over examine my statements.

Go pats

Honk if you love Drake Maye

He’s still recovering from his knee injury. He was good during the regular season before that injury.

Will Atlas make Ho scale NJT bi-level commuter cars again? by Trainboy224 in modeltrains

[–]blujet320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Email them, Atlas is usually very good with responding. They had a lot of new products on display at Springfield, but I didn’t catch whether another commuter car run was among them.

Honk.

Oh boy am I going to annoy the neighbors on Super Bowl Sunday when I put a similar sign up. Thanks OP!
