This is probably my favorite part of any flight. We’ve been airborne and suspended in animation for more hours than most people consider a regular working day. The sun never did set because at these high latitudes it never really does during this time of year despite it being 3 am. The flying First Officer just left to the back for a minute or two to take his cruise uniform off, which today consisted of flannel pants, a Pink Floyd hoodie (massive brownie points for that I might add) and hotel slippers, and slip back into his crisp white shirt and golden epaulettes and wings. I can hear my relief cruise First Officer working the coffee maker in the galley a few feet behind me in his valiant and appreciated effort to keep us all caffeinated and ready for what is about to unfold over the next 45 minutes. And there, right there, for a few minutes, I sit in complete silence and solitude admiring the faint dark blue horizon before me prior to the opening scene of a complicated yet beautifully scripted ballet which will bring 750,000 lbs. of jet aircraft to a safe landing and us 3 to our soft fluffy beds at the end of a long tiring day… What a life….

are any airlines helping out Spirit? We had gift cards for our trip this summer. Is there any possible way another airline could process them? @Delta @JetBlue @SouthwestAir

@Michael08771497 @FOX5Atlanta Maybe confused by a Twitter post to remind people of no resolution to a story vs. what CNN would actually label as “Breaking News” for the same story each hour for the 10th hour of the day. HA!

🚨BREAKING: 🚨 DISGRACED former President Barack Hussein Obama has reportedly established a "back channel" and a shadow government to communicate directly with world leaders whose countries are a part of NATO, anticipating a possible Trump administration withdrawal from the alliance. Obama is said to be reassuring his fellow leftist leaders and our so-called allies by forming a "contingency plan" in the event that President Trump does in fact terminate our NATO membership. With Obama recently purchasing a MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MANSION in The UK and transferring a large chunk of his assets to the country, it appears that he may be orchestrating a GLOBALIST COUP against President Trump and engaging in a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY to undermine the foreign policy of our duly-elected President. If we had a dollar for every time that Barack Obama has committed TREASON, we'd be as rich as Elon Musk. This man is the worst thing that ever happened to America? ARREST OBAMA NOW! 🇺🇸💪🏻

@larzmarshall @dabigspence @passion268 They can’t get The Benz at the same time because of The College Football playoffs & The Falcons schedule. NFL playoffs run right up until the weekend before the Feb date, that weekend is the break between The Super Bowl & Conference Championships.

IMO, if you feel the need to own (and use) one of these in your vehicle, you probably are the original instigator of the road rage more often than not and feel some type of childish satisfaction by seemingly getting the last [gesture].

@grok @AZ_Ultra_Maga @xAviation Wrong! Maybe the crew de-iced (Type I) maybe they didn’t but if active precipitation is falling, there is a requirement for anti-ice (Type IV). Disclaimer, this is all US based carriers. I can’t speak for other countries.

No, not entirely. The video shows light snow/frost blowing off the wing via airflow during takeoff, which can occur. But there's zero confirmation this crew skipped de-icing—the accumulation likely happened after proper de-icing while taxiing/queuing (common in snow, due to short holdover times). Regulations (FAA/EASA) require a clean wing; visible contamination at rotation is unsafe, reduces lift, and is illegal. This isn't approved procedure—risky gamble that worked this time.

Aviation@xAviation·
This Airbus A320 crew decided to skip the traditional de-icing procedure and instead relied on aerodynamic forces to shed residual frost and contamination during the takeoff roll and initial climb. While aerodynamic heating and airflow can, in some cases, remove thin layers of frost from lifting surfaces, this practice is generally discouraged even small amounts of contamination can severely degrade lift, increase stall speed, and compromise takeoff performance.

@red_chem_lite @bowtiedfarmer I always run the water before stepping in shower but I have an older tank heater that is on the other side of the house. Would not do it if I had a tankless.

@miami_rick Can’t tell you how long the batteries last but I have rechargeable “Pale Blue Earth” batteries & spares, always charge them in the plane as soon as I swap them out. I don’t always need ANC either as the earbuds do an excellent job by themselves, plus Bluetooth use affects time.
