  1. Anyone know? Re: Hey joe, why did the 787 and A380 on inaugural flight fly with gear down the whole time? /via @chernomyrdinp
  2. I'm looking at pics of the Dreamliner thinking, "How will I recognize it without that swoopy paint job? Back of the engines helps most.
  3. Video of the Dreamliner first flight, with cheering fans: http://bit.ly/6UVALG
  4. Journalism hits an new low: news site cites anonymous , unverifiable online postings in response to BA strike. http://bit.ly/6GlKxs
  5. My comment on the WSJ article about the wayward pilots who overflew MSP: http://bit.ly/6PS2wM This story seems to generate a lot of anger.
  6. ASA pilot is the next "Bachelor." I thought they were supposed to be millionaires to be the rose-giver. http://bit.ly/7zViRF
  7. @RobertClose Every pilot deals in their own way. I prefer domestic daytime flying for that reason. There's no easy solution.
  8. "Dreamliner" is a cool name for an airplane -- that is until the first mishap. Then all the papers will use "Nightmare" in every headline.
  9. RT @sklompar: Boeing's 787 completed its first test flight today: http://bit.ly/5rLnai How long until I get to ride in one?
  10. RT @sklompar: Boeing's 787 completed its first test flight today: http://bit.ly/5rLnai How long until I get to ride in one?
  11. Adding fuel to the "pilots are fatigued" fire -- AA jet dings a wing on landing after 14 hour duty day. http://bit.ly/5ENuLk
  12. @Heather_Poole Have you run afoul of the cabin-service mafia?
  13. Pilot crashes through glass doors at airport -- anything to bypass security? Oh, wait, that was a "Honda" pilot: http://bit.ly/7gUevu
  14. RT @shannonannon: my Dad taught me to fly before ... to drive. It never occurred to me that I would be anywhere else but the pilot seat
  15. A gate agent on a power trip and a passenger who kept a zen-like cool. Didn't end well ... yet: http://bit.ly/7Bhdb3
  16. @RobertClose We have cards - they have to say "English Proficient" or you can't fly. As if they couldn't just ask "Do you speak English?"
  17. RT @GirlsWithWings: Pilots cannot exercise the privileges of their PAPER pilot certificates after March 31, 2010. http://is.gd/5oLuu
  18. @sklompar I think I'll try Ommwriter. Have you tried Write or Die by @DrWicked ? http://writeordie.drwicked.com/
  19. RT @captainmchale: @Joe_dEon Nope: I always knew grandma was a pilot and there were "stewards" AND "stewardesses". Love the podcast -THANKS
  20. @nicnacjak RE: "... plane spotter, not easy to do in theses days of paranoia." Good point. Spotters have been arrested!
