While the screenshot I posted above suggest only hours, do aircraft takeoff-landing cycles feature in heavy maintenance schedules? Do 737 have maximum hours or cycles - (there was a post by jb747 about the A330 running out of hours)

This is better but how many hoops and phone calls does the passenger have to jump through or make before the refund is actually credited?.

There are subcutaneous ICD devices

Rigors dramatically increases your oxygen demand and CO2 production. Often people feel short of breath and they also get a tachycardia because the heart is pumping blood faster to supply the increased oxygen demand

= Rigors Basically your body is mounting an immune response. One of the ways is to raise your body temp above 37deg by shivering. Hope you feel better

Likely midazolam. They mix the coughtail into a 10mg syringe - generally morphine and midazolam and sometimes an antiemetic and ,perhaps an antipsychotic depending on situation and run the syringe with a battery syringe driver called a Niki pump over 24hrs via a subcutaneous line. There are...

I just came across a Visit USA ad on YT. Strange or maybe not strange that they pop up. Not sure how "official" official means.

Here:

UA should take a leaf out of QF's playbook - there, an airline ticket is merely just a bundle of rights.

Yes I saw that. The "soap" provided has always been soapy and effective . So I'm uncertain as to the veracity of the claim - seems outlandish. I would always wash the drinking glasses before using BTW Well, the conditioner is not soapy so it is easy to detect the difference/

I don't care what brand is used as I just use the cheapest stuff at home🤣.

Yes, the lithium ions travel in the electrolyte solution from the cathode to anode during charging, but it is not a electrolyte issue per se causing the initial problem. Electrolytes while not the spark, are the fuel in any thermal runaway and the battery also carries its own oxidiser as part...

Only that thermal runaways are not caused by disruption in ion exchange unless you mean that to be a short circuit. Yes but even in properly built batteries, high SoC is related to slightly higher risk of battery fires compared with low SoC Though the risk is still very low - for example i have...

A thermal runaway is typically caused by an internal short circuit due to lithium metal dendrites (fingers) traversing from anode to cathode. Once it breaks through the separator membrane and hits the cathode a short circuit occurs and very high current travels along these dendrites. The...

Am I right there are less QF seats from AU to US than 10 years ago?

Yes, but if QF did use those extra slots it would likely dilute all the other existing loads

The difference in opinion is whether as you suggest > zero risk or as @Himeno suggests zero risk, not that you say it's going to happen What are the loads on NH/JL at the moment as this might give some insight into what Nh/JL would like to do. The exit of QF in this slot can only improve or...

Hey those road lollipop people earn a pretty penny - maybe not captain level but I would not be surprised around FO pay grade While some airlines need to get their governance up to scratch, I wonder if lights at runway entry can modified in some way to indicate shortened runway?. Then there...

Agree, however, blind /automatc tick boxes and form filling only take you so far.

Yes I understand, we used it in Scouts eons ago, they were great. I used to dip the tips and part of the shaft in molten wax to protect it. But safety matches can be easily lit with positive action. Other items which require positive action are scissors. They are technically restricted in terms...
