Checked out the G concourse at ORD today, post gate re-allocation. It’s a circus…even by ORD standards.

UA has mainline and express gates on G. Not contiguous. One gate is shared with AS. One podium shared with AA.

Two EAS carriers, NK, AS, AA, and B6 all there. Three versions of FIDS.

@crankyflier.com landed at ROA this afternoon and saw these Breeze and AirWis aircraft on the ramp. VA Tech is close by, neither airline flies sked ops here, gotta be sports charters.

Hope you feel better! I must say...I have hit refresh on my browser all day today, feeling out of sorts. And then came here to see if I could find out what's going on. A Thursday with no Cranky has been weird, about as strange as UNC playing Cal and Stanford in ACC this week. Get well!!
I've been hit hard by a nasty flu this week, so no post tomorrow for those who set their watches by it... now back to feeling like death

Greetings from the WN operation at DEN. Flying a -700 this morning but was surprised to see tail stands for the -800 and -8 at the gate. I was told by Boeing many years ago tail tips would be *impossible* on the MAX due to the Leap engine weight and position. Any Blue Sky avgeeks know more?

Saw the GE aircraft at ORF this morning.
This week GE Aerospace and NASA are conducting a series of flight tests to study contrails using the GE 747 flying test bed and NASA’s C-20A equipped with LiDAR. See how to track the flights and stay tuned for a behind the scenes look later this week. www.flightradar24.com/blog/ge-aero...
