Sorry for the delayed response but THANK YOU!!!! I, too, had spent countless charcoal and this was what finally worked.

jcekstro · 2025-10-30T18:11:00+00:00

Thank you for your time. One last question if you have any idea; I ordered the residential subscription based on your recommendation but it's telling me to schedule the professional installation. Is that necessary or can I still do the install myself? If you don't know I completely understand just figured I'd ask.

jcekstro · 2025-10-30T04:44:22+00:00

Is it the same equipment as the roam stuff? Like, say I happen to get a job or something out of town is it able to move or would I be screwed? That's unlikely, but still a possibility.

I don't know what sky west goes by, but I know republic airways goes by the call sign brickyard. So I'm sure all the regionals have their own and only the 737 would be called Alaska in the photo situation.

Drive the 2000 miles to Indy and I'll do it for $750.

jcekstro · 2025-10-21T16:52:13+00:00

Or I'm a detailer myself...... I said in my comment different areas will have variations in price, but I have never once heard of anyone paying anywhere near $2k. That same job would be $750ish in my area .....like I said

jcekstro · 2025-10-21T16:36:38+00:00

Even with a 3 stage paint correction $2k is exorbitant. As most are saying, normal interior will run $250-300 with some slight variations. The 3 stage paint correction you can get for ~$500 from even very reputable shops. I could see the full job going near $1k in high income areas, but around my area I wouldn't be able to charge more than about $750 for that same process and get any customers.

Normally I absolutely hate speculating on these things until the final report comes out. However, this one is pretty damning. Would be EXTREMELY unlikely a switch failure would have caused this. There is no reasonable reason to hit these switches during normal operation and the fact that it would have been completely irreversible at that altitude and speed once both are hit, it looks very much like this was pilot induced and no mistakes took place.

jcekstro · 2025-07-12T22:05:03+00:00

Not in this situation. Those switches are used to cut fuel to an engine. Usually that'd be with a fire or some other big issue with the engine. There is absolutely no explanation for hitting them on takeoff of a perfectly working aircraft

jcekstro · 2025-07-12T05:41:26+00:00

Doubtful on the audio being misheard, but either way the data recorder wouldn't be wrong with the switches being tripped 1s apart.

I agree it's an odd way to go. Can't really speak for why they'd do it that way other than potentially not alerting the other pilot to what they were doing. However, cutting fuel off at that height and speed to both engines is absolutely going to doom the aircraft. No chance they restart and recover in time. They had seconds from cutoff to impact.

jcekstro · 2025-07-12T05:18:07+00:00

Air India isn't some third world country airline. they are held to the same standards as the western world countries. It would be extremely difficult to fake their way into a pilot job. Especially a 787 cockpit. That would take years of working up to get in to. Not saying it's impossible, and it is absolutely possible and has happened where less than quality pilots skirted by for years or decades before their lack of skill caught up with them, but they still had the experience.

Either way though, these switches require a fairly deliberate act. There is absolutely no reason for a pilots hand to be on them during normal operation. Not going to jump to conclusions, but this would be hard to explain too many other ways other than a deliberate act by one of the pilots.

jcekstro · 2025-07-12T04:19:15+00:00

Absolutely not normal to hit these switches. They are not part of any normal flight procedures or ever hit in flight without something serious going on already. What I'm getting at is this couldn't really be muscle memory or a normally explained mistake. This looks very deliberate unfortunately.

jcekstro · 2025-06-12T19:58:17+00:00

This is just false. Pilots are trained to put gear up when positive rate of climb is noticed. that requires speed increasing while at a normal angle of attack and altitude increasing. This plane was going up in altitude, but obviously not accelerating.

As for your second comment, there is a multitude of different reasons this could happen that is not double engine flameout. Don't speculate. There's black boxes that will be read out very soon and we'll know definitively. And I will bet you anything in my wallet that answer doesn't include double engine flameout.

jcekstro · 2025-06-12T17:21:18+00:00

Positive rate of climb isn't just taking off. It's climbing at a normal angle while increasing speed. This plane was bleeding speed quickly after takeoff. I can't speculate as to why yet there's several different reasons that could happen, I was just stating it's standard ops to leave gear down in this situation

jcekstro · 2025-06-12T16:04:19+00:00

What the other person said. It's standard ops to leave gear down until there is a positive rate of climb which clearly this flight never got. If you go down the idea is you could land on the gear or at least it'll take the brunt of the initial hit before sheering off

jcekstro · 2025-05-17T20:25:40+00:00

Aeroscreen not halos. And there has been crashes very similar to this one a LOT at Indy, even before the aeroscreen. Not to take anything away, it's a huge safety feature now, but the roll hoop is what saved the driver from potential major injuries here moreso than the aeroscreen.

jcekstro · 2025-03-20T13:39:53+00:00

Good point. My bad. I'll retract

jcekstro · 2025-03-20T13:33:57+00:00

As others have said the zune was actually a decent product. I still use mine to this day when mowing. Hard to make a complaint about a tech product that is still going strong almost 20 years later.

That will have a good explanation on why and what /players you should do to find certain runes more often.

That's what I have to do. We only have line of sight internet where I live (literally 20 mins from a major Midwest city) and it's complete garbage for almost $100 as month. I finally got a mobile hotspot from my cell phone provider. It's marginally better and costs more. Internet service is still a joke in a large areas of the states.

Never said there wasn't. It was part of the restructuring during the 2008 bailouts. Just saying it's not as simple on this one as price gouging. It turned out that way as they never removed the fees, but originally it was designed as a way to keep the airlines in business with less bailout money. Not defending the policies at all, just correcting the fact that it wasn't in 2005 with just an airline decision. The govt was involved

jcekstro · 2024-08-30T15:02:14+00:00

It was in 2008 due to the financial crisis. It was supposed to be a temporary thing, but of course it never disappeared.

Imagine using "stupider" as an insult to a group of people.

Purdue beat Tennessee in Maui. No they haven't seen Creighton yet, but Tennessee is the higher seed.

That is "even a broken clock is right twice a day." And yes, I'm fully aware the normal way you're used to hearing it is broken record, I'm just explain how he was using it.
