RE: Leaving

Although I wasn’t on the “old forum” very long I did prefer it. Couldn’t access the forum all day yesterday as my password wasn’t being accepted. I thought perhaps it was closed down early for 9/11.

Hope to chat with you again soon andrewm.

RE: Blow it!Whats Your Favourite Airline Logo?

BTW, excellent site for logos is http://www.aerosite.net/airline.

My favourite is probably Aer Lingus and the Shamrock. The green is pretty unique, followed by Qantas, Singapore, Malaysia and British Airways. Makes me look a bit of a fan of the One World I alliance, hmmm.

Not sure if my attachment worked.

RE: Bombardier Sells CRJ700 Aircraft to Shandong Airlines of China

Sort of related to this story (Bombardier)

The company is in a great deal of trouble (financially) now with the potential bankruptcy of United and its subsidiaries, as they have massive orders with the company for CRJs. The president and ceo recently held a news conference outlining a somewhat modest short term outlook for the company. This is the first time Bombardier has made such an announcement (outside of lay offs surrounding Sept.11–though I believe no aircraft orders were cancelled then, just delayed).

RE: Engine failure

We had that very scenario in Canada last year when an Air Transat 330 ran out of fuel in one engine, and then in the other over the Atlantic enroute to Portugal. The aircraft COASTED to the Azores. However, in a special on television “relived” the final events, and said that a small propeller drops down from under the belly of the aircraft (between the wings) in an effort to help push the plane a little further and aid with the “coasting”. I was really surprised to hear that. The final report outlining the cause is due out later this year. However, Air Transat has to fly closer to an airport now, rather than cutting across the middle of the Atlantic. They are a charter and do it to cut down on time. I believe though by law most ETOPS aircraft must fly within two hours of an airport for these very reasons of some sort of engine malfunction, or emergency situation.

I think I retold that situation correctly??
