Bought my first SLR...Huge non-resized pics.

[Informant]

When I try to resize them they lose quality, So I think now I must invest in Photoshop.

Welcome to the SLR club. Hope to catch you out spotting in the near future. Whos classic series 737 is that? Looks like a Continental 500?

Very cool! Nice office.

Beats a cubicle any day!

Nope not a continental, Taken from Terminal 1 at JFK. Its a Cayman Airways 733.

That MD-11 shot is smokin'

What airline are you flying for?

[PhilDernerJr]

Judging by the airline at the next gate my guess would be JetBlue. :mrgreen: :borat:

[ChrisW]

Since when did JetBlue get MD-11s, Phil? LOL! :wink:

Judging by the airline at the next gate my guess would be JetBlue. :mrgreen: :borat:

Wow bro....you better learn your cockpits....since when did an A320 have a yoke??? I'd give you a ...k but its not alloud anymore. LOL ;)

[PhilDernerJr]

I was joking about the aircraft seen at the next gate out the window. I knew it was an MD-11.

You will probably never see this again. We had to park at the IAT due to no spots at our Cargo Area, So after taxiing around the field about 3 times Ground told us to contact IAT ramp control, and see if they could hold us there. We had to sit at one of the T4 Stands, for about 1.5 hours, calling the company to get us a pushback, just so we could get to the NE Cargo area. After the first 1.5 hours we opened the Door and hailed down a stair truck, got off, and asked some guy from North American if he could give us a ride to our ramp, and of course he says-no(Thanks Phil).Then we got a hold of a security truck, I used to own part of a security company at JFK so I used that to seduce the girl into taking us to the cargo area. Once we got settled in the tight little SUV a Swissport tug arrived for us, so of course that meant we had to again unpack and go back up the stairs, more checklists, radiation...etc,so to make is short, we get there.All of us miss our planned connecting JS's back home, so everyone ends up staying with me on Long Island(Which caused even more problems but...thats another story).

06 was a great year :roll:

If I was out there, I'd have hooked you up.

The photo in the earlier post made me think IAT put you at a gate. Gates are not easy to get these days.

[Informant]

We never get gates anywhere so we weren't missing out. Yea the North American Guy, actually looked like a kid, sorta scrawny.

We actually marshaled ourselves in if you can believe it. Just looked at the reflection off the back of the IAT truck in front of us.No chocks so we kept the number 2 going as almost all of our APU's are 'inop' these days or whenever im on the line.

The Day Fedex Came to T4.

[nwafan20]

Haha, nice story.

I noticed in one pic, there are standard power plugs in the cockpit, seriously? Is that normal?

[PhilDernerJr]

On "my" planes, we have outlets in several parts of the cabin. I'd use them to charge my phone when on the ground, and are also used by cleaning teams for their vacuums. Technically, you're not supposed to use them inflight.

Informant...surprised you marshaled yourself in...but i guess the last minute assignment prevented you folks from hiring a ground handler to do it. Looks like hardstand 67, no?

[Informant]

Well, no, all of our ramp guys were busy with the delayed inbounds that arrived before us, so no ground crews if there is no contract. Companies like Swissport and ASIG make a killing off of one time services.Maybe my statement wasn't correct there was a rather round guy from the IAT car that told us when to stop but no directional signals just the "X".

Don't remember what hardstand it was, but it was one of em.


We do have the standard power outlets in our cockpits, they are located right behind the F/E position, only two of them though. The cords you see for the EFB's are not standard outlets , they are...weird, and were installed for the sole purpose of powering the 3 EFB's.
