This was an E-175, which is what I work on every day, so I’m curious what happened, especially if it involved a maintenance error. I searched but apparently no info has been released. There was an incident at our sister MRO facility in Portugal (OGMA) in which aileron cables were installed...

If yall remember, the crash of JAL Flight 123 back in ‘85, which was the deadliest single-aircraft crash in history, was caused by severe structural failure in flight as a result of an improper repair to the aft pressure bullhead by the Boeing AOG team some years earlier, after the bulkhead was...

There will be an investigation, which is standard after something like this. Any consequences for the pilots will depend on the outcome of the investigation. There may be no negligence, some negligence, quite a bit, or gross negligence. Or they might find that the pilots didn’t act...

Yep, I’ve frequently been low on iron when I’ve gotten a physical and bloodwork. May have something to do with being a distance runner.

For years, it’s been GNC MegaMen (2 per day), 2 fish oils, 2 glucosamine-chondroitin, and a Feosol iron pill. 46/m/6’2”/183 lbs

Thanks for that useless input. 😆 Why you felt the need to waste a comment on this thread, I have no idea. But based on your other posts, I can’t say I’m surprised. 🙄

I hear ya. We can definitely agree that overextraction/astringency and harshness is no bueno.

If adding chocolate is not flavoring, what do you call it?

Well, in past posts, you’ve said that you hate “acidic coffee”. Especially in the last 10 years, coffee has shifted. Theres been a widespread acknowledgement that roasting beans dark obscures the flavors of the varietal and the origin, leaving only the taste of the roast (caramelly, nutty...

I mean, from your description of the encounter, it sounds like you sorta went in with a frown and an attitude, so I’m not surprised she looked at you like you were a weirdo. Starbucks is definitely (still today even) solidly a 2nd Wave coffee shop, meaning that they serve dark roast, which is...

My latest delivery from Flower Child Coffee (Oakland, CA). I took out a 3-bag per month subscription and this is my 2nd delivery from Prestin, the owner/roaster. He focuses on very clean, light roast, washed coffees, which I really like. In the background is my latest toy, the Hibrew H4C...

Well, one thing I appreciate about that forum vs. Reddit, which is one of the other major places coffee people go to post, is that it seems to be an older, more experienced, and, to a degree, a more dedicated and serious crowd. People really go into detail in their posts there. Kinda like...

Good to see you here! I commented on your thread over on Home Barista (I’m “Memphis to Nashville” on there)

Yeah we know all that. The questions were the wisdom of the decision to do it, and whether the pilots almost met disaster here.
