@sampullara @romainhuet @united @Starlink Starlink is being deployed across the regional fleet first because the wireless spectrum for that network is being sunset first (Q2-2026 iirc). Each aircraft type and subfleet has to be “qualified” for installation first, given approval, then they can roll it out en-masse. :)

@mikey85201 @nypost Oh he looks like he had a blast, poor baby.

@jodiann87 @MCCCANM Not necessarily but it’s entirely possible. They can sometimes rig up a ferry permit if the individual aircraft are deemed ok, otherwise they could just break them up on the spot. It depends on what they find, what’s needed, etc. All is in the air right now, I suspect.

@MCCCANM This would only normally happen in conjunction with the ground power not working and a battery cart 10 gates away. ;)

@x_ecutive Our roads & drivers are a lot more rough on vehicles. Mandatory inspections and therefore upkeep is more optional among the less financially stable, leading to more expensive repairs down the road.

[Victor- (🦊/✈️) @WN737]

@RobbyMartini @MCCCANM Ok. So how long will it take to train 10,000 flight attendants? What do we do in the meantime during the weeks of training?

Are we going to outsource all the training to a third party? Who’s responsible for making sure standards are kept? Or do we not care?

@chrvr6969420115 @MCCCANM @GadsdenDave There are sometimes access hatches for maintenance purposes, depending on aircraft, but that’s beyond the purview of the flight or cabin crew, and they’re barely accessible on the ground either.

@Mike__AVFC It is!

@CRankinit69 The look I got after I said I skipped the gym today.

@kylecanspeak An inspiration!

@planefag Or, hear me out..

Bakersfield.

@mikey85201 What talent! I love it.

@nsw43 @jzellis Opposition? What opposition. Go find a current opposing party in this country and not one that is working hand in hand with the ruling one to cause more problems.

[Victor- (🦊/✈️) @WN737]

@gphilpott9 @MCCCANM Only certain ones are required to use it, varies by airline. Some only use it on the stretch 737 (the 900/900ER), other companies choose to use one on shorter aircraft out of an abundance of caution.

@9mmsmg The city itself is a disaster, more so in certain areas, however the suburbs are reasonably better. California is still quite beautiful, political dysfunction aside. If only we could clean the rot out, the weather and variety of natural beauty is unmatched.

[Victor- (🦊/✈️) @WN737]

@Mike__AVFC Wheyyyyyyy

[Victor- (🦊/✈️) @WN737]

@jzellis 300 billion is the rough difference between what California sends to the Federal Government and what we get back in funding. Imagine how much could get done if that money was kept local.

@readysetcya @MCCCANM You technically *can* (in certain very specific circumstances), but any access is a maintenance thing, or perhaps, done when bags fall against an inward opening door, as far as I’m aware. Not exactly something one can do in the air, or quickly, in any event.

@Nmistry6 @InfantryPilot An amazing state with awful “leadership” that deserves better.

Finally made the partial jump to the little butterfly app. https://t.co/YM1WIoLDVG if anyone wants to find me over there. I'll still be here too.
