    Depressurization

    Exactly what you said. the outflow valve apeture would attempt to compensate to maintain pressure. In any case, the airplane is not going to suddenly explode or decompress etc. The drain plunger in the lavs is bigger than a single bullet hole, and yet when the passenger raises the plunger to...

    Delta Chairman Leo Mullin "Dr. Evil."

    Interesting..... I didn't hear US Airways complaining when they were orchestrating their now failed merger with United a couple of years ago.

    Bose headset

    Haven't heard anyboyd mention this brand yet: I have Telex Echelon-150's, which a so-called "semi-active" noise cancelling. Not quite as good at cancelling as some of the higher end headsets, but I much preferred them over my old DC 10-13, and also the 10-20 (i think thats the newer passive...

    Question for the hardcore commuters

    I stand corrected, A terminal is separate and all others are connected. Sorry about that.

    9-11 is over! Now hear this!

    Do a search of my post on Unmanned aerial vehicles and my experience with them in the military. I think that will build your confidence back up about a LONG LONG term career flying these things with human operators, before total automation. (search terms Predator, global hawk, unmanned...

    Question for the hardcore commuters

    STL IS! It is quite a walk from one end to the other, but you can go through security for East Terminal (Southwest) and walk over a mile to the far end of the main terminal.

    9-11 is over! Now hear this!

    Look, Oil production in the U.S. outside ALASKA is directly tied to whether it is cheaper to pump out of the ground here or buy on the world market. Having lived in Texas most of my life, I can tell you when the price of a barrel was high, you drive a Texas highway, and in the fields off the...

    TSA vs TSA

    Black Hat- General uniform store selling police uniforms. Let me know if you need exact name and city. Double Brested Blazer- Navy Surplus (it the exact same as Service dress blue for Navy Officer and Non-commissioned officer). Shoes- While your at the navy surplus store, might as well pick...

    Great Lakes Slowdown @ DEN

    Good, someone was paying attention. Nobody commented about Amarillo though.

    9-11 is over! Now hear this!

    Quote: WAR = BAD Take it from me as a former commodities student, a war with Iraq WILL hurt the airlines and skyrocket fuel costs. Mark my words. __________________ Well, maybe that might be the catylyst that finally convinces the majority that the Alaska reserves need to be drilled...

    Great Lakes Slowdown @ DEN

    Not sure about stopped service into DRO, I was gone by then. No probs with the layover. I thought it was one of the better ones. I was just thinking I would like for them to have been longer.

    You're Gonna Make Me Puke!

    I overheard this today while sitting in a goverment agency: Government civilian co-worker: Talking to one of the soldiers who works in the office "Didn't you wear anything patriotic today?" Soldier: Looks down at his uniform and back up "Can you suggest something more patriotic than this...

    Great Lakes Slowdown @ DEN

    Change this: To read: When I left there 18 months ago, we were taxiing slow then. Apparently they don't get it or don't care. I recommend phase two to you guys, which is fixing all problems AT THE OUT STATIONS. That would make for some better layovers in DRO. Also, you guys still...

    Missles deployed around Washington DC

    Right! "Where'd he go?" "uhm.......where'd who go?"

    Missles deployed around Washington DC

    Why? Maybe they are going public now in attempt to deter.

    Missles deployed around Washington DC

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the airdefense around DC and everything, But I have also been thinking. Wouldn't it be a terrible terrorist act to force us to shoot down one of our own passenger jets. I mean specifically if they attempted a hijacking specifically thinking we would shoot it...

    Is this B.S.

    Yeah, I read some of the other stories there. They are some wacked out luneys. As a side note, in the military, I used to do some work with UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, like the predator and global hawk). They fly those things by remote control. Only problem is they crash one about...

    Reporters smuggle knives onto 14 flights

    Slide, Your right, we could go on debating this for a year. I have read and heard hundreds of opinions of those opposed to arming airline pilots. And guess what the majority of them have in common. They are not airline pilots. I can't understand why we don't trust the professional airline...

    Reporters smuggle knives onto 14 flights

    _______ I think your argument against inaccesible cockpits is pretty weak. I am very confident that the engineering technology exists today to design a cockpit door that can prevent unwanted entry. The reason these are currently "unavailable" is they cost _______ Slide, Can you give me a...

    Reporters smuggle knives onto 14 flights

    Slide33, You say taking a gun on the aircraft is a terrible idea. What about airmarshalls? They are doing it now. Even better, what about normal law enforcement officers? They are too. As for inpenetrable doors. No door is impenetrable if it is ever designed to open. And even more so...
