Jet stream blast 777 to 745mph over Atlantic.

Now back to how much faster, straighter, more better delta planes fly....

Oh, so you're saying that if power is lost over the ocean, the airplane doesn't glide?  How does it know it's over the ocean?
 
And, before you even go there:  There have been a few successful, survivable water landings of airliners.  Sully is ismply the most well known because it happened in New York harbor under intense media scrutiny.

I didn't say that whatsoever.....A glider in the middle of the ocean most likely will land in the ocean, safely or not....AWAY from any immediate help as in NY Harbor..there will be no ferries within minutes reach.
THAT is my point. No one is discrediting any pilot skills here. The Sully landing was perfect in my book considering no loss of life or significant harm to anyone. But in the middle of a vast ocean where a rescue might be hundreds, maybe a thousand miles away,,,,The outcome could be vastly different.
And we all know how monumental a task it is looking for a aircraft in a vast ocean as in recent events.

I did the same thing on a 777 within the US last week. flew from just north of ATL to just over RDU in about 25 minutes. ATL-JFK was in less than 1.5 hours.

you know the irony of your post is that I was happy to sit back and read what other people have to say but you like others can't just sit on the sidelines, so I jumped back in.

Nowhere did I say that DL's 777s are any different or better than anyone else's. I just happened to be on one operating within the US that happened to be able to pick up a strong Jetstream.

Nowhere did I say that other carriers or other aircraft didn't or couldn't do the same thing.

Maybe not, but you were thinking it, admit it.

Why is this topic even here?

It's about a BAD flight not an AA one.

 

[CMH_GSE]

It doesn't really matter matter what topic is posted , it always ends up the same, but different.

B.S. and you and everybody on here knows it.
 
You just could not wait to jump in at the chance to mention DL in yet another thread.
Just like to do on every thread in every airline forum.
 
Now had you mentioned something about DL's JFK-LHR flight(s) on that particular day and compare/contrast to the BA flight in the article, then your diatribe  may have more palatable.  But you couldn't even do that in your haste to type another DL rules the world diatribe.

The DL board is quiet, my as well poach the AA board..

Perhaps WT would be happier if we all petitioned the moderators to amend the name of every airline section with the words: "is not as great as Delta."  That way we could click on "American Airlines is not as great as Delta" to read this and post.   Similarly, there would be the "United Airlines is not as great as Delta" section, etc.
 
At least maybe WT would just go away, thinking his/her work is done.

 

[IORFA]

Just put him on ignore and do the rest of us a favor and don't quote his posts. That is the only way I see them.

and in your low self-esteem, you can't read something about someone else without thinking it is a putdown of your airline.

nowhere did I say that AA's aircraft weren't capable of doing the same thing or that DL's aircraft are superior - but that is exactly what a bunch of people here have come up with.

I suppose I will continue with my same strategy until you learn to refrain from your comments.

If you have to use the ignore feature of the board, plz do so, if you can't participate in the forum any other way.

As usual, you're wrong.
There there are >15000 pieces of evidence just on this www site that suggest you may have mental health issues.  And that's not even taking into consideration spectator's activities ... ... ... talk about low self esteem!!!
The path of least resistance would be to place you on ignore.
But it is still fun correcting your mistakes or calling you out for the outright lies you post.

So how fast was that plane going in ft/sec?

then just ignore me.

you and others absolutely cannot stand to do what you threaten to do.

I am guaranteed full participation on this site because of the lack of self-control which you and others repeatedly demonstrate.

I guess it's your self-esteem that doesn't permit you to do what you know you should.
