ASA HF radios and First Class Meals

[sweptback]

ELP is a new one for ASA 900s

Great overnight, if we can get the old DFW hotel back.

I would assume that if they are adding these in, you may be doing some flying out in the Blue routes. That would include Bermuda, and places farther south of Turks. We do not use them in the 767 over the gulf. The only time you really use them is to SA and from JFK to the Eastern Caribbean. (Trans-Oceanic too of course.)

Dog the Bounty Hunter Rocks!!!

Oh Yeah Mesa Sucks!!!

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Yep... you've got to get East of trinidad, well north of the islands, and south of Venezula/Panama to actually have to use the HF's.... the only time I've ever used them in the caribbean is coming from JFK or going to Bermuda.

Then again, half the time I'm going from JFK to the caribbean, they put a non-HF jet on there. Brilliant.


Do the ASA-900's have IRU's? Not sure, but that might be required to go out to Bermuda.

Hey is there any chance you fat bastards could stop parking in our porn star spots...? I saw one of your FO's doing a pirouette down the jetway stairs today at C57.......... It was gay.

It's been many many years since a DL jet has been at C concourse... what was it?

 

[Long Time Gone]

Nope, no IRUs and the 1st Class meals have existed for a few months already. Big whoop....

 

[SiuDude]

It's just Kingston mon. Hope we don't get stuck there on a round trip.

 

[COOPERVANE]

Ever here the rumor of the RJ crew that smelled "that smell" coming back from Jamaica? FA found a spliff in the foward lav.

Supposedly whole crew got a few weeks off!!

 

[ACL65PILOT]

The CRJ's do not need IRU's as they have laser gyros and gps.

 

[CoATP]

HF's needed for Class II navigation approval. They are illegal to use in CONUS on aviation bands. To go to Bermuda you have to have rafts since it is greater than 157 miles from land. DL is getting it's 900's equipped the same so they can whipsaw them between carriers. They will also swap routes so after doing ELP for a few months it will move to another carrier. No more eggs in one basket.

I actually laughed out loud on this one..

HF can be used in receive mode, "listen" in USA, all day long. Its the same thing as having a shortwave receiver on your coffee table, inside the US.

you cannot TRANSMIT domestically, technically, per FCC regs. FAA could care less, they dont regulate airwaves

You can transmit for a ground HF SELCAL check. Those are done every day...just can't be fueling when you do the check.

There's nothing mystical about an HF radio-it's not like it has 15,000 watts of power and will give you cancer-it just operates on a lower frequency. You shouldn't need to use the HF in the US, but I don't understand why it's banned for transmission. There are tons of HF transmissions originating from the CONUS all the time and have been for decades.

ok well there you go. I guess my point was that everybody was saying the world's orbit around the sun would stop if you transmitted inside USA.

please

Do we have to post every company memo on here? I swear, this is like Embry Riddle Grad School or something.

Seriously....I agree with you there...
Why can't everybody just shut the flock up about all those things that no one gives a rat bottom about???
I didn't go to Embry Riddle but is it like that other there??? scary man!!

 

[bluefly72]

I didn't go to ERAU either and did someone post a company memo?

 

[Stifler's Mom]

5-digit dialing is here. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!
