S.d the logs true or false when will ANA announce their flight scheds. on the 787

S.d the logs true or false that’s the problem and conscience of the people that fill them in.

Instead when will ANA announce their flight scheds. on the 787 or are they already somewhere?:cool:

And as recently returned from India KabirT (good holiday and married/nearly married I hope;)) says “stop the squabbles”.

And more to the point who gets the next 787?:D

Both of you Amiga500 and Flightmech – let the Flight Crew know

Both of you Amiga500 and Flightmech – let the Flight Crew know through any ethical means if it’s something you have been asked to do by your company as they should also be altering their pattern of operation if it’s a workaround you have effected.

The management chain may never grasp it quick enough to help the flight crew and souls on board.

It’s all about strengths and weaknesses of the men/women and machine and knowing and understanding them all is the flight crews responsibility and not making expectations on the machine if it it’s not in normal state of operation.It can still fly but with knowledge of deficits.

Flight engineer would have been your contact but alas he /she is long gone.

Even if its a nudge, nudge and whisper to a pilot and/or a secure link by ground wire to cockpit – tell them then the balls is in their court. You have done your bit. Air France Concorde tragedy – Captain Marti could have said “Non” – fuel overload, spare aircraft (hurriedly put in to service), or asked for a further delay to lighten the fuel load – but was pushed by management pressure, customer pressure and marketing. He sadly didn’t.:o Air Transat A330 (engineer made huge Boo Boo [workaround of his/her own] and thanks to incredible skill in the cockpit it made it to safety)

Document, document and keep records (your diary to start with if permitted) in simple uncomplicated language and numbers and in 99% of cases it shouldn’t hang you but will make you accountable.:) That’s not a bad thing is it?:)

A delayed flight may seem the end of the world to some but to you and all those who care it may prevent loss of lives and any decent airline will be happy eventually that you did an ethical job.:)

You may upset some (or get a temporary rollicking) from those that haven’t a clue (and are bluffing their way through [clean suits] not getting their hands dirty) but that’s all part of being forthright and accurate to the point of your knowledge and skill.;)

WTF!?!

Sorry – way too busy actually working to waste my time maintaining some stupid needless tracker.

The place is coming down in project managers with their bloody pointless trackers – pretty much one of the big reasons so many projects are going wrong – they think they can “manage” the unknown. Idiots.

Hi Amiga500

Sod the PM’s or any other managerial ‘turds’ please take my suggestion and keep your records clean and straight and any amendments simply alter legibly.

No decent auditor (whether technical or financial) will fail you if your amendments are verifiable and you have done the best job given the tools and time and reported any risks that are within your remit to forsee with any company enforced workarounds.

Simple rule – single narrow line through any item in written records needing altered, make alteration relating legibly to original entry, initial and date leaving both old and corrected entry visible. Absolutely taboo is liquid paper followed by photocopying which does not always show traces of liquid paper.

Electronic systems should have a verifiable audit trail and access controls so you should always have to ask another person to help you make the alteration or login with a higher authority password than your normal one.

If you are doing your job ethically and professionally why worry in not keeping accurate job records. Which I am sure you are:)

Which is why this Dreamliner deal is BIG for Boeing and Japan

Which is why this Dreamliner deal is BIG for Boeing and Japan.

I remain optimistic and it’s the ancient but true Tortoise and Hare tale.

Airbus innovative fast out of the starting gates – selling volume in many markets.

Boeing out of original starting gates (way back in time), slower to innovate but holding loyal markets.

Let’s see the next 10 years especially once the economic recession and it’s long aftermath (this one will be very long with years of poor quality components, products, service, etc) lifts.
This is my 6th recession (2-3 more than you as I was in the IT/IS business and we took a few more dives than Joe Public) and the aftermath of each one was bad. This one will be ultra bad as it is so prolonged.

Any of you out there that contribute to manufacture (vital) or extracting/producing original compounds, R&D, quality testing, accounting and finance, maintain and repair, re-furbish, and provide customer service, please, please go that ‘extra mile’ in dedication (yes an old fashioned word) and we will pull through and out of this recession. Please keep stringent electronic records and written records avoiding using liquid paper [delete with a line through and initial and date so change is visible].When things slip or cheating is evident – please go to your management and if they don’t do anything think hard of the next best course of action.
In addition please bring the younger generations into line with integrity and dedication to work including punctuality, and loyalty they are the starting blocks for a safer developed world. Never mind the other errant countries just please do your bit as if you buy ‘crap’ from them you can by your own efforts identify the faults and try to source some alternative ethical suppliers
Short cuts with safety or durability can and will cost lives in the future.

Yes there is a war on far worse than the real Great War and WWII, this one has ‘hidden ammo’ (not stealth UAVs/UCAVS either) – this one’s armaments are economic and financial and the destructive ‘numbers’ don’t hit you for a long time after the hidden ‘disaster’ has occurred.

Here endeth the sermon:D

I knew she would get there safely – is there any info on commercial flight scheds?

First Boeing Dreamliner arrives in fortress Japan

All Nippon (9202.T) Airways’ first Boeing (BA.N) 787 Dreamliner touched down in Tokyo early on Wednesday with hundreds of aviation fans welcoming the carbon-composite plane that its American maker is fielding, albeit three years late, to keep rival Airbus out of its best market.

Japan remains, however, a fortress for Boeing, which it dominates with a 90 percent market share. Flag-carrier Japan Airlines has never bought a European jet, while the Dreamliner’s new owner, ANA, has already phased out some of its ageing single aisle Airbus A320s.

Some 500 spectators flocked to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport to catch a glimpse of the first twin-engine, lightweight jetliner, which cruised in under a clear autumn sky before smoothly landing at around 9:04 a.m. (0004 GMT).

Hi Talltower,

I knew she would get there safely:D – is there any info on commercial flight schedules as yet?

I guess it’s huge contra trading – USA buys Japanese designed (made Goodness knows where now under globalisation), cars, machinery, electronics, etc and likewise USA wishes to hold on to it’s winning markets for Boeing.

I wish and hope ANA have safe and successful years ahead with the Dreamliner.:D
