Did you get an email, or did it show up in downloads?

You should've gotten an email with a reply to address for tech support. If not, I'll pm it to you. I installed it today. It's pretty bare bones, I'm not overly impressed. Not at all actually. Maybe there is more functionality planned for the future. The split screen on the windoze device will be nice to have, because this is really hard to see unless you zoom. For instance, if your 10-9 is folded, it shows up smaller on the Ipad. Much smaller than the actual chart, so you can imagine how difficult it would be to read without zooming in and panning around, just what you want to be doing while taxiing...

I haven't seen a single mount or power supply in any aircraft yet.

Of course no moving map, no graphical weather.

Ah well.

I got one about a year and a half ago (actually the last time I called in sick... Cal Flanigan I am not) when I got short called early AM, thus waking me up, and I had a pretty good fever and sore throat. It's pretty much automatic if you get assigned something and then bang in sick for it.

The CP that I talked to was very gentle and professional with the rubber gloves. They know these things happen, just trying to make sure you're not abusing it.

That chick totally puts out, too.

80s hand and the CP's office big hand...



this is when they mention that there isn't a rubber glove big enough and oh yeah, because of Purple Drank, there isn't any Vaseline left.

Heh. It was a bit of a strange rumor that would have been a complete about-face for RA & Co, and I haven't heard a bit about it from anyone other than the one poster here. I think someone up the rumor chain was intending to have a bit of fun with this thread .

What I'm hearing over here in the land of the rising sun, is gently used 777s from Etiad... makes more sense than 787... we'll see.

Somehow I imagine the theme song from The Crying Game playing faintly in the background.

I remember from my one year on the panel (1997) when we were slammed-dunked (and then some) and the captain selected flaps 40 about 5000 AGL. We were descending so rapidly that I had to manually increase the cabin pressurization descent rate to reach field elevation in the cabin by the time we landed!

I also felt that the entire "hush kit" thing was a complete scam, perpetuating and aided and abetted by various parties. Ever sit number one behind either a 727 or 737-200 that had been "hush-kitted?" It was the same deafening roar as before...only a vendor, with FAA "oversight" got to make all sorts of mods to the engine to give the appearance of "quieting" the engines with almost none of the actual accomplishment of it.

The only true "quiet" 727s I ever observed were the UPS 727-100s that had been retrofitted with the Rolls-Royce Tay (?) engines. They were very distinguishable by a much larger S-duct scoop on the number two engine than the normal 727. They looked very impressive (to me) but I had heard that they underperformed. Not sure about any of that, and they are all gone now anyway.
