As far as engaging the HVC...channel your Maynard Finch (Sam Elliott) from "Up in the Air". Seems cheesy but the HVC is so jazzed and the guy next to him is sooo jealous. Nobody else in the company carries the weight than a pilot speaking with a passenger. Even the lady that Anderson gave up his seat for had no idea who he was....and he does 3400 "welcome aboard videos" a day. I still gotta work on Maynard's voice though....

Incident: Delta MD88 at New York on Apr 2nd 2014, hydraulic failure and runway excursion
By Simon Hradecky, created Thursday, Apr 3rd 2014 11:26Z, last updated Thursday, Apr 3rd 2014 11:30Z
A Delta Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-88, registration N992DL performing flight DL-886 from Atlanta,GA to New York La Guardia,NY (USA) with 118 passengers and 5 crew, was descending towards New York when the crew reported a hydraulic failure and decided to divert to New York's JFK Airport requesting runway 31L (length 14,572 feet/4,442 meters). The crew indicated they had lost all hydraulics fluid, had no brakes whatsoever, the gear doors would be open due to manual gear extension and they had no nose gear steering. JFK Tower advised emergency services that runway 31L (runways 22 active) was reserved for the emergency and would be closed as soon as the aircraft landed, they were cleared to proceed to assist the aircraft as needed after landing. The aircraft touched down and slowed on the runway, the crew requested chocks repeatedly stating they had no brakes, both engines were shut down, fire brigades told the crew they would apply chocks as soon as the aircraft came to a stop. The aircraft went off the runway at low speed and came to a stop with all gear on soft ground.
The passengers disembarked normally via the rear stair of the aircraft and were bussed to the terminal.
The airline confirmed a hydraulic problem prompted the crew to divert to JFK Airport due to the longer runways available. While taxiing to the gate the aircraft exited a taxiway.

Delta IT strikes again
Attention Delta Pilots,
Please be advised that the Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) and Known Crew Member (KCM) systems are inoperative, due to Delta internal server issues. In addition, the Delta VRU line is also inoperative, and the Chief Pilot Support Center is also unable to book the jump seat.
We are following this issue closely, have been informed that the system should be up shortly, and will keep you informed of any further developments.
