@linbb My use of the word "airlines" would seem to indicate my perspective. No I was thinking of AC being able to detect in advance and avoid. Or ATC have the ability to see anything lower than max drone height and advise AC that a go around is required. My friend libby....A is for apple.....

few if any airlines will pay for safety features other than those that will affect their bottom line. It is a business. Safety does not sell in a highly regulated environment. I agree with Cansojr. Something serious has to happen. ex: little change following Malaysia 370.

Bombardier can thank their lucky stars that Airbus' purchase of the majority of the program will allow this great bird to spread its wings. What will be left of Bombardier this time next year? Their ground solutions are experiencing huge delivery issues, and if viability rests on corporate aircraft, well the end will be sooner than later. All of course IMHO.

Would like to see confirmation that it was, in effect ad drone. Embedded pieces? Even micro- remains? That said, can't see any bird splatter on the radome. Is that always the case? Cheers

B.S. Delta and others have been scr#wing the pax for years with internet charging. They are waaaaay behind the curve of businesses on terra firma. Their technology was paid for a long time ago.

From a global perspective, being rated best in North America is like being best in a consolation round. SPIN SPIN SPIN. Having flown pretty well all majors in North America, same sh*t, just different flavors.

Agreed but capacity will be pushed to the maximum.

I have first hand knowledge in providing such services out of West Africa and cannot compare to any degree the services rendered on our "regular" flights to our Haj charters. Just a reality that was in place a few years ago with our airline. Maybe be different now but having to help people manage stairs who have never done so in their lives is something we can take for granted on non-Hajj operations.
