Photogrametry flight with photofinish. Some effort went into programming the flight director / autopilot.

My relatives and I use AirDrop all the time to share photos from our iPhones, but I always leave my AirDrop receiving option to Contacts Only, not to Everyone.

Fits now! (I haven’t kept up on skateboard prices, but it is unlikely that deck was worth $90. He can just replace the deck and put his existing trucks and wheels on it and come out ahead of paying their fee.)

Baggage handler killed in belt loader entanglement at New Orleans airport

An airport worker is dead after her hair was caught in a belt loader at the New Orleans airport, officials say.

The 26-year-old, identified by the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office as Jermani Thompson, was injured Tuesday at around 10 p.m on the apron, an area where aircraft are parked, loaded, unloaded, refueled, boarded and maintained, the director of communications for Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport said.

A spokesperson for GAT Airline Ground Support, where Thompson was employed, said she was working to offload a plane that had landed, WVUE reported. They say her hair got tangled in a belt loader.

“We are heartbroken and are supporting her family and her friends as best as we are able. Please send your well wishes to everyone at our New Orleans station during this very difficult time,” the CEO of GAT Airline Ground Support said.

She graduated from a small, tight-knit college here and was well loved by people who knew her.

And this is why OSHA does or should require hair coverings when working around machinery. She didn't have to die.

OSHA does require that hair longer than 4" be securely fastened with a hair net, bandana, cap, etc.

Long hair should also be tied back in a bun or knot without loose locks.

Reuter wrote:Earlier this month, United had threatened to take the action if the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) did not grant the air carrier additional flights.

United has been flying just twice daily to San Francisco and Los Angeles from JFK, the busiest New York-area airport, after resuming service in 2021.

"Given our current, too-small-to-be-competitive schedule out of JFK — coupled with the start of the Winter season where more airlines will operate their slots as they resume JFK flying — United has made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend service at JFK," United said in a memo seen by Reuters. The airline did not specify when it might resume service.

United has a substantial presence out of EWR, which might be one reason they're willing to abandon JFK.

United's main hub on the east coast is Newark, so the FAA wasn't going to give them more spots out of JFK, now they're throwing their hissy....

Pilot sues Southwest after colleague exposes himself

TERRY SPENCER
Wed, October 5, 2022 at 9:06 PM·

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A Southwest Airlines pilot is suing the company, her union and a former colleague who pleaded guilty last year to dead-bolting the cockpit door during a flight and stripping naked in front of her.

Christine Janning alleges that Southwest retaliated by grounding her after she reported Michael Haak to the company and the FBI, that it kept him employed despite an alleged history of sexual misconduct and that managers disparaged her in memos.

She also alleges that the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association conspired with the airline and refused to support her. She is suing Haak for sexual assault. He pleaded guilty last year to a federal misdemeanor charge of committing a lewd, indecent or obscene act and was sentenced to probation.

Haak's attorney, Michael Salnick, said Wednesday that his client disrobed only after Janning encouraged him to and never did anything else. Southwest said it supported Janning and that it will “vigorously defend” itself against the lawsuit. The union did not respond to a phone call seeking comment.
