Anyone want some A350s?

Internet is poor to non existent and costs 20USD!


They need to completely strip that airplane and refurbish it from the green coating up.

And to be frank there are FD/CC guys/girls who did not make the cut at EK and took the job there. How would you integrate them into the system which once deemed them unsuitable?

Very true. But IF there is any EK takeover surely they'll do it properly because the brand/product has to be consistent. For now we can use the 'looks good on paper' product.

Not sure how to handle to crew integration. That's way above my paygrade.

Rumour says those FOs at EK under 32 or 35 (fleet dependent) will get a chance at Dec at fly Dubai. At least they get to the left hand seat.

For those that had a command prior to joining EK, wouldn't this be a step back in terms of career progression?

At least they will get back to the left seat... And if later on are allowed to get back to EK on the left seat , I don't think so

Calmcavok,

The T3 baggage system doesn't care about what the aircraft type that operates a sector is. Bags for any given flight are allocated a specified build-up carousel and that's where they fall after leaving the main part of the system. From here they are scanned and loaded in to ULD's or if a bulk operated aircraft, a mail trolley.

Good info, thanks. I'd imagined that baggage would be directed to a specific ULD or set of. Would bulk loading not be a lot more time consuming?

Maybe the Trump administration has had a word with Doug Parker and suggested he change the order to Boeing and now AA are trying to sort out the financial penalties.

Unfortunately DXB has not progressed as far as automated loading in terms of robots for bags to bins as of yet. Actually this is quite an expensive undertaking and considering the labor costs here does not make sense. Not only that but the dynamics of baggage that pass through in terms of shape, does not really allow for this anyway as we encounter all weird shapes, especially through Asia.

As for the bags being directed, they will head to the specified carousel where the ULD's are lined up alongside thereof. The bags have to have their associated tags scanned and linked to the specific ULD (which is how the guys know where to find it when the pax goes walkabouts).

In terms of speed, it doesn't really matter whether they go into a ULD or mail trolley. If anything, a mail trolley is slightly quicker to load as you don't have to worry about fitting the piece within the unit itself as they will just be removed at the aircraft side anyway.

There are 12 380's parked outside (what's inside?) every morning.
