@Jackmartin127 @krisvancleave @flightradar24 Except it wasn't another 10 feet lower, and the plane was in crosswind conditions, as you can see by the images from the airport surveillance camera that shows the left wing down due to winds. Runway 29 is the crosswind runway at EWR. It also doesn't have an ILS.

@NextonSC_29486 @weareboeingsc There's only two UA 787-9's in that pic and one of them is being delivered today, Jan 16th.

@JustStop_Oil @taylorswift13 They look like they listen to Taylor Swift anyway.....

@OsfR825751 @flightradar24 So just leave everyone in Iqaluit? How about maintenance checks the plane, determines the issue and it continues?

@JacquiDeevoy1 @backwoodsohm He definitely wasn't "intrigued". He wanted to go about his day in peace and not have to answer ridiculous questions.

You're on the internet, so I'm sure you have a working copy of Google. Look it up.

@tvheidihatch No, it's *not* an engine inspection panel. It's on the pylon. The only issue with it missing is likely a fuel penalty due to increased aerodynamic drag.

@LouisDeletraz UA7173 is *not* operated by United. That's not a thing. It's a Copa Airlines flight from O'Hare to Panama City. Operated by Copa, code shared with United. So don't assume a cabin crew member stole your earpods.

@wagamamaUSA is your Arlington, VA location ever going to open? It was scheduled to open in 2022, yet here we are in 2024 and still....nada. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Dave D @dave_787]

@chrisww22 @WandrMe Why would you want that to happen?

@PhyllisShabad @thenewarea51 They're not related Phylilis. Hijack is TV. 🙄

@MarkSpringer @DrDave_99 @Airsquad9 The Japanese shorthaul market aircraft was the B747-100SR.

@officialsanjivg Remember: airlines control the weather.

@Bank_Partners how long does it take to get paid when you're NHS bank staff working for you? My Mum has worked for you since April 3rd and you've not paid her as yet. After she did 44 years service with the NHS. That's outrageous.

@mofiraas I name him "Kevin"

@dominos ...both my pizzas have a piece missing. What's that about?

[Dave D @dave_787]

@bostonpilot85 @JTTsteve Hahahahahaha....if you fly half way, you still have half your fuel, plus holding and contingency. So enough to return to point of origin, or destination.

[Dave D @dave_787]

@exnuke33 @8NewsNow There's no flight engineers on modern passenger aircraft. The "other guy" is flying the plane, but there's nothing wrong with having a "second guy" in a high-workload situation. It was a qualified pilot working the radios. What's the issue? It's aviation. Safety first.

[Dave D @dave_787]

Bem-vindo ao Porto, @united 144. Resuming seasonal service, EWR-OPO. Bom Dia!

[Dave D @dave_787]

@exnuke33 @8NewsNow Imagine if you'd actually read the linked story and understood the other airline pilot assisted one of the two Southwest pilots onboard... 🤔
