Re: CaptainSim 777 Beta Release.

The biggest issue so far, is that I can't seem to find the nav radios. When you switch the display to VOR, nothing happens. The plane flys and the autopilot works, but without nav radios and a PFD display, I'm not sure I can do anythign with it. Are you looking on the FMC NAV/RAD page or the panel?...

Re: REAL Pilot Birthday!

Hey guys :) Thanks for the heart felt wishes. I had a great B-Day and actually was on vacation :mrgreen: Which is WAY better than having to work. I know, I know, cry me a river but it's nice to get a break from flying from time to time. I will take the hint and make some more updates from the real w...

Re: Posible AA-US merge

US Airways still hasn't finished the last merger they went through with America West. We'll see though as it's going to get tough for both US and AA to compete with the new DL and UA. I still hear rumors that it's possible that SkyWest will buy American Eagle but I don't think it has any merit. If U...

Re: US-Airways....the future of AAV?

Heard a bunch of rumors recently around SkyWest that we are looking at purchasing Eagle. We have the $$ to buy them but we'll see.... I hear lots of rumors and most don't turn out to really happen.

This will be interesting to watch :)

Re: Unusual Cloud

Yup, Wayne is correct. Virga associated with Cirrus clouds. We see that from time to time while flying and typically will deviate around it as it's typically turbulent. In this pic you have a line of colder, descending air. See the less developed cirrus clouds to the left of the photo. Probably a bi...

Re: Not quite the 737 that I crave, but it'll do

That was awesome Jeff!! You were down and at taxi speed before the touchdown markers; well done! I went into n out of Renton a few times as a student/cfi flying out of Hillsboro down by Portland. I really miss the flying around that part of the country in the 152's, 172's and Seminoles; so much fun!...

Re: GPU

At SkyWest we use the GPU whenever possible. Start the APU 10 mins prior to pushback, taxi on 1 engine and start up the 2nd approx 3 mins prior to expected takeoff.

Re: Gates

Flightaware is very accurate with gate. I actually use it when I am on my trips and we get a plane swap. It hasn't let me down yet!

Agreed. Looks like KLAX back when I used to fly there from Carlsbad frequently.
We still have a small gaggle of EMB's in LAX at terminal 7. I loved flying to Carlsbad! One of my favorite overnights in our system.
