Asiana Passenger to Sue Boeing!!!
You would think, but isn't Asiana considered to be a 'Flag' carrier of that country? Since the crash happened in the US, I would think lawyers could file suit here in the US but I doubt the South Korean laws allow citizens to file suit against companies like Asiana. -

Colgan 3407 Down in Buffalo
Sure you didn't mean to say esplanation as in 'Luuuuccccccy, you got sum esplainin todo'? :D Naturally everyone is curious - most for professional reasons - but we all want answers. Unfortunately, in the absence of anything definitive from those tasked with investigating the accident, forum... -

Colgan 3047 NEW
Agree - well said! Another question for those with time in type, I realize that one of the displays on the instrument panel would be configured to include control/trim config data but if both pilots had PD/ND configured for the approach, can the FO see the elevator trim indicator on the left... -
Colgan 3047 NEW
I have read of numerous pilots with time in type comment how confident they were in the airframes abilities during icing encounters but I have to wonder. Any thoughts on the posibility that as a result of ice acretion during descent and level off, that the AP was streadily rolling in elevator... -
Lost medical due to failed drug test
Realizing that this was from last month, I am curious if this means that the FAA's Aeromedical branch regional flight surgeon for your area sent you a certified letter requesting you consult mental health professionals as well as submit the results of a battery of mental health tests in order to...- ms6073

British Airways Attempts 777 Soft Field Landing
A good landing is: one where you can still open the doors one that you can swim back to the dock from one that when you fill out your log books you have a coffee in your hand not an IV in your arm A great landing is one in which you can use the airplane again -

CoEx - traveling with bicycles?
Kinda both but primarily I ride/race road as I seem to spend quite a bit of time working on the dismount when offroad on the MTB! :D As for the bike case, once again most have experience with a single bike case, ours carries two bikes and although it is the same length, it is twice the width... -
CoEx - traveling with bicycles?
You can get a SWAG by going here: http://www.fedex.com/ratefinder/home?cc=US&language=en entering the required information then take the shipping cost and then deduct 35% (typical industry discount). Keep in mind that costs are dependent on whether you are shipping through a FedEx entity such as... -
CoEx - traveling with bicycles?
Thanks - knew that before we bought the tickets but there is a story led us to opt for the big seats up front. The story has something to do with the wife and I being forced to share most of her seat for the duration of a 4-hour flight when a 450+ lb. man sat down in the next seat while... -
CoEx - traveling with bicycles?
As have I with older bikes but our current bikes have integrated seat masts instead of seat posts. Unlike a seat post, the seat mast is cut to specification which requires the use of a larger box. I visited the FedEx and UPS websites and with the dimensions/weight of our container, we get hit... -
CoEx - traveling with bicycles?
Thanks for the reply but this trip is full fare (and first class seating) and I originally had planned on using UPS or FedEx to ship the bikes with our box that holds two bikes, the oversize charges make CO's service charge look cheap! Bikes could not be shipped until 5-business days before the... -

CoEx - traveling with bicycles?
Sorry as this post is not to ask questions about hiring, time on reserve, scheduling, or quality of life but the wife and I are heading to Vermont at the end of the month for a bicyling vacation and we are flying CO/COEX - IAH-EWR-BTV. We are bringing bikes which will be packed in a single case... -
Area 51
Oh man, they excavated the driving range and 9 hole golf course! Not too mention the grass in center field of the softball field is not looking to be in very good shape either. :D- ms6073

CMR Crash CVR released.
Only once - well almost - but fortunately when we turned on the PCL, it became immediately apparent that we were not lined up on the correct runway! :( -
Age 60 legislation is moving fast as of today
You are probably right but are there peripheral impacts of the proposed legislation that are not being mentioned such as a possible impact on Social Security retirement benefits? -
Things you never want to hear on the flight deck
"Why's it doing that?" - referring to anything with a computer display outputting data that disagrees with flight crews expectation? "Magenta? The only time I have ever seen that on radar is on the weather channel." "Well that runway may not be very long, but would you look how wide it is!"...- ms6073
