    New Credit Card When Retired

    It depends on who issues your card. Banks are allowed to hold deposit accounts so your credit account can be positive. Non banks cannot hold deposit accounts and so need to return the money. To complicate things some issuers are less compliant than others so they may ignore small positive...

    Ask The Pilot

    With the United 777 incident in Denver I heard the ATC ask the pilot which way they would like to turn and they said left. The engine that failed was on the right. Was it intentional to do that and if so what would happen if it was a 747 or A380?

    You can see the window shape but the plug is replacing the glass.

    Not sure if this is a pilot or passenger question. On the Qantas 747ERs from the back the third last window upstairs on the port side is plugged. I don't think it is the same on the 400s or the starboard side. Do you know why it was plugged?

    With Rex flying some 737 previous flown by Virgin and I understand pilots previously employed by Virgin would you expect any difference in the different airlines procedures ? Also if a pilot changes airlines and flys the same plane type what certification do they need to complete?

    JB thank you . Can the same issue happen with the same plane type but different configurations . I am thinking of the a330 200 with Qantas and how they have an international, domestic and a hybrid seating arrangement.

    I read this article and as I am not a pilot I don't really understand what the pilots did to resolve the issue to the problem. Would you be able to elaborate please. http://avherald.com/h?article=4dd9ae59&opt=0

    Hi JB in the thread about your favourite 747 you had a photo of you flying OJK back home. Above the captain there looks like a large black knob separate from the control panel. What is it and the other bits around it .

    Ask The Pilot

    Hi JB with the kangaroo track for yesterday's QF7474 how complex would it have been to program the track into the navigation systems and would they need any special permissions from air traffic control? Also could one of the 747ER planes fly from London to Sydney non-stop like OJA but not...

    What's your favourite 747 memory?

    I just went on the last 747 flight out of Canberra. It had spectacular views, a wonderful crew and everyone was so happy but with a tinge of sadness as we all knew it was the last flight . They told us the crew had over 500 years of experience.

    QF Final 747 flights - SYD, BNE & CBR

    I was only able to get a seat because of the advice in this thread and I wanted to thank all the contributors for the help. Does anyone know when the plane will arrive in Canberra before the main flight. I would love to be at the end of the runway as it goes overhead?

    What's your favourite 747 memory?

    I have a nice little story about a crew member on a 747 at London Heathrow in 1975 . My sister and I were about 14 and 10 and we were on a Qantas 747 in the middle of winter and it was raining and really foggy . We were delayed by the weather but we did not know that. So my sister asked...

    JB I do have a question about QF 30 . If the same event happen over Europe or North America, with a larger choice of airports in close proximity, what criteria would you use to pick the best place to land ?

    Ask The Pilot

    Your post got me thinking of the differences between flying the A380 and 747 200. The 747 must be very manual when compared to the a380. So what automations has made the job easer /safer for the pilot and did any changes make it harder?

    On Sunday VH OEH took a group of disabled kids for a charity joy flight over Sydney for about an hour. From flightradar24 the flight never got above 5,000 feet. I assume it was so the kids could get a good view but are there any special requirements on the crew to fly at that level and JB...
