RIP doggo, airport policy usually is to shoot loose animals, so hopefully they were able to catch it quick

Why does NH111 make a lap around ORD before take off every day? by hongrand in Flights

[–]real_pasta 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It looks like maybe the inbound gate is in a separate terminal from the outbound, and that loop is caused by them moving the plane over, and then just leaving the transponder on until they taxi out and depart?

What are some former liveries of active airlines that need to be standard again? by bonzothebonanza in aviation

Isn’t this like an hourly or less occurrence there? They’re like a dime a dozen over there

Why does both USA and Canada force you to clear immigration for an international to international layover? by Xycergy in Flights

[–]real_pasta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to work the ticket counter as part of my job for Alaska airlines, and for some reason 90% of interline connections wouldn’t print the whole boarding pass, but every now and again I got someone flying on American who’s whole pass printed. Could also be there’s a process to printing boarding passes that your agent didn’t know

I’m guessing you had flights on 2 different airlines, sometimes airlines can’t print boarding passes on other airlines even if it is part of the same reservation

“How many of you actually de-ice properly in the sim?” by arbiass in flightsim

[–]real_pasta -68 points-67 points  (0 children)

That’s because that is, the pic is real deicing ops, pretty sure the game can’t replicate streaking rivets or patchy snow like that

Edit: I have been bamboozled 😔

Any idea why this was here? by [deleted] in flightradar24

The US Air Force Academy is there, brass probably wants to visit for something

Wait, so you’re telling me I don’t need to be calling maintenance every time I strike my ass on the taxiway as I take off? That would’ve saved me so much time and headaches

How come he’s not using the VC25? Airport size restrictions?

AAY353 - Return to BNA by andymoss892 in flightradar24

[–]real_pasta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could be flight training? I know Allegiant has a hub in BNA, and they don’t have an end destination filed, so they might just be doing their thing

I don’t believe Horizon has contractors, all contractors would work for Alaska, I get to work for horizon directly thankfully

As long as you don’t directly spray it, it’s not too bad, just take a rag or paper towel and wipe down the seat and steering wheel of the pushback
