Southwest Heat Wave - Phoenix 120 degrees 6/20

Meh, only 98 in Reno plus the altitude, had to wear sweater today.
Camaro is currently headed SE though.

 

How much money did you win

 

Nah... dry van, hauling totes of some sort of powdered product. It's been awhile and I don't remember the exact product. Pretty sure it was a copper mine though if that tells you anything...

 

Rocknroller4 heres a local outfit looking for local drivers.
Gate Gourmet
We are now hiring for Drivers to work in our flight kitchen located at the Seattle-Tacoma International airport. This position is represented by a labor Union and is covered by one or more collective bargaining agreement.
A Driver is responsible for loading galley equipment onto a truck, driving the truck to various types of aircraft and loading the equipment. All activities must be accomplished according to customer guidelines and while adhering to safety regulations. The Driver interacts with the airline representatives at the aircraft, therefore must be customer service oriented.

 

@Dave_in_AZ - I was going to give him the info about Gate Gourmet by private message, but he has it blocked.
Here's another one:

 

Didn't play.

 

That's not hot.

Get into the Death Valley region sometime.

Now Phoenix does have a restriction on the CRJ Bombardier Class of Airliner, the rated temperature maximum is 118 for that particular plane. At that temp or above there is not enough wing nor engine to get that plane to where conditions are sufficient to lift that wing off a 3 mile runway. Since Sky Harbor does not have a 3 mile runway, you don't get to fly for a while. You do have the option to rebook onto a larger plane like a 747 or perhaps the new 737-max if they are availible in your area.

 

Bigger planes not always help, read article why Norwegian Airlines stopped flying on 787 to Vegas, same thing - heat

 

Idle. If your company has an isle policy. Find another company. A dog is treated better than that.

 

thankee kindly. I will look into that part of the industry decision not totry the heat into Vegas.

If I remember my FSX Deluxe under a human controller had to horse the heavy off the runway short take off and work around two mountain peaks before we can settle into climb to FL so and so.

A simulator would be much better and for those who do it in lifel thy are the kings.One of these days I hope to luck into a little sim time but think those things are good for learning in. Getting a big truck down cabbage in winter is one thing, Ive always wanted to get a heavy into a field like scranton late at night in a 50 mph mountain storm. I know it can be done, but it's the doing that needs doing.
