It was a really big vodka and Coke. Kind of like when I tell my wife I'm just going to the bar for one beer. What I really mean is I'm going to the bar for a pitcher of beer.

Actually, the main cabin lights are supposed to be off during take off and landing. In case if an emergency we can see the situation outside before we evacuate pax. Pax and crew off first and ASAP.

I guess it's better than hitching a ride on a military cargo or tanker aircraft.

From what I've seen so is the carrier doesn't put safety first. At least when it comes to stuffing their aircraft full of pax and cargo. I imagine their maintenance isn't exactly top notch either. We shall see what the investigation turns up.

While I was based in KRIC, we had a brand new lav truck smash into one of our EMB145's. Totaled the truck and took that aircraft out of commission for about a month. It was due for a C check anyway. It still had to be flown to KBNA for heavy maintenance.

Not just cell phones. Years ago while I was working ATOC at RAF Mildenhall, long before cell phones were a normal, an airman who worked in Special Handling just loaded mail on an aircraft and he was reporting it back to me on the radio. I saw him out the window, drive under the wing of a C5 and smashed into a light cart. He was distracted by the radio and in a hurry to deliver to the next plane.

Even though Trans States is being dropped, I doubt it's going to hurt anyone's feelings there.

Wow, how long ago was that?

Kind of thought you may be on the wrong thread. Interesting read though. Thanks.
