Fighting Fire on the Runway
The double-decker hull of the Airbus A380 super jumbo jet erupted in flames at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Firefighter Jason Basaldua headed toward it in a giant crash truck and within seconds began blasting the front exit door with a massive shower. (online.wsj.com) Más...Well, I had to wonder for a minute when DFW got approved for the A380, then let alone have one crash.lol. Donny, you pulled a good one here.lol
It still isn't approved for that beast bird....but they are starting concrete work on the South Western Cargo ops area.
*NorthWest....sorry my chair was turned around the wrong way
Well, they already got 3 runways down there that are 200' wide; they'll have to get taxiways and terminals updraded to handle it won't they? I figure it's coming. Just a matter of when.
How are ya Wayne? You been on vacation or something?
I been here. Hadn't seen you on in a month or so
Was over with LOT in Warsaw.
What were you doing with them? I thought you were totally retired?
I get calls if a company needs me...so I will go for say two months. This time it to teach 'em how to stael customers off of LH. Not a difficult job ..LH has their panties in a bunch at the moment. For the last 20 years I was a commercial manager. I am too old now for the tools..haha
10-4, I'm getting there. I've got that CRJ and the boss for awhile; 3-4 trips a month more or less but none of that Flight OPS director BS. I still get calls for advice though.lol
The first attenders did not have enough C02
THe first tenders did not have enough lquid nitrogen.
Even if the first attenders had the correct retardents none of them were trained in the use.
So if you guys who insure these machines want to reduce risk it might be agood idea to get smart.
