2 planes of air unable to land

[clean hairy]

UPS Next Day Air Service from Worldport

Are these the planes Amazon is using?

 

[Poop Head]

Are these the planes Amazon is using?

Yes. That one is less than a month old!

 

[OrioN]

When they see late planes, just enlist the services of Santa package delivery service!
Bad weather has never been an issue for how many years?

U think UPS would invest in better technology than this:

Our pilots are a bunch of pes

Another late Christmas Eve with not all the air because of fog in Pittsburgh

Good lesson for all those that wait til the verry last minute, then pay thru the for shipping!

 

[sailfish]

Lol! This has to be hitting my old center. What a cluster.

 

[MattM]

What's this 'guaranteed by Christmas or it's free' nonsense?

Is it the shipping charge that is free or the entire order? Do these companies get a ups refund or take a hit on their own?

Is ups losing out on these deals?

If they had thought ahead they could have just sent the air from Louisville on trailers. It would have been a little late for sure but would have gotten there.

No, ups does not pay for weather related delays.

Geez, thought that they can at least glide when faced with engine failure... like that sully pilot over NYC in a commercial passenger plane of similar size

It landed like peak.

They have to be going faster than 30 mph straight up to glide.

Sadly that wasn’t an engine failure, the load wasn’t properly secured and shifted. The plane can recover from a stall if they have enough altitude. These guys didn’t stand a chance. Sad day for aviation. For anyone who wants to look it up that was a 747 operated by national.

Hope to end the rest of 2019 without burning out.

Happy Festivus!

Didnt that happen to us over Dubai or was it an ormd lithium batteries fire?

 

[JustDeliverIt]

Yes. That one is less than a month old!

So your saying their pilots fly like their local delivery guys drive

Ours was Dubai you’re correct and it was lithium ion batteries that brought that one down(cargo fire). There’s a show “air disasters” on that one and it’s pretty sad too.
