With the recent passenger incident on AAL and the 25th anniversary of 9/11, there has been a lot of talk on the secondary barriers. I’ve flown with them several times and think they’re great. All of the cabin crew seem to like them as well. cnn.com/2025/09/01/tra…
@markreinoso @AmericanAir I agree that passengers will do everything they can to stop someone from entering the flight deck, but reomoving the opportunity for someone to rush the flight deck when the door is open is a welcomed added security feature. We do appreciate the help in the back too though!
@markreinoso @AmericanAir This article gives some context, but you’ll start to see them more and more. They’re great and much safer than the beverage cart. jetsetterguide.com/news/airlines/…
@airmainengineer That’s a classic malfunction of the chemtrail system. Just cycle the circuit breaker and you’ll be good as new.
Not only is volcanic ash highly abrasive, but it’s made up of tiny pieces of rock and glass that can melt inside the hot section of the engines then cool onto the turbine blades. This can destroy the engines or cause them to flameout. No fun.
Volcanic ash is one of the most dangerous things to fly through. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is wait it out. apnews.com/article/indone…
@Aerovances I’ve always liked flying at night. Great video!
Lots of talk about the rust on the Lincoln as it pulls into port. That crew has certainly had a rough year, but it is actually completely normal for a carrier to look rusty after a deployment. cnn.com/2026/09/03/asi…
This is a small change in operations that will make life easier for gate agents and passengers with little added complexity. thepointsguy.com/news/united-ai…
@AirlineGeeks It’s interesting to see SWA pushing into the premium market. Clearly that’s the direction everyone is going, but it’s counter to their traditional business model. Are they going to be able to compete with the big three in this market?
Flows allow pilots to quickly and efficiently set up the flight deck for different phases of flight. Items critical to safety are also covered by checklists.

This is huge. Free, fast WiFi will be standard eventually, but for now this gives UAL a big edge.
My August update on the United Airlines Starlink rollout. United is adding Starlink to roughly 50+ mainline aircraft per month. @elonmusk
@GinieSigonney That switch is spring-loaded to the neutral position. Pilots use a rubber band to hold it in the intercom position so they can have a hot mike on the intercom.
@flightradar24 @DFWAirport It’s really impossible to know
@croc_mar @airmainengineer You beat me to it!
@ALPAPilots Having flown aircraft with these barriers, they’re a meaningful improvement. They add another layer of security without making normal flight deck access unnecessarily complicated. The flight attendants I’ve talked to also really like them.
I’m excited to see what extended-range narrowbodies do to route maps over the next few years. As the 757 ages out, aircraft like the A321XLR give airlines the range to serve thinner markets with fewer seats. This could mean more flights to more places! reuters.com/business/aeros…
@Rainmaker1973 I’ve probably watched 100 videos of the shuttle landing and still can’t help but stop and watch every time it comes up.
