APU ON at gate?
@JFK we have a temperature probe that looks like a little hand mic that is put into the cabin from the Jetway. Most of the time, the CS Agent puts it in a cool place, like right at the doorway where a little breeze could give a false reading, so the air-conditioning pushes in warmer air than it should.

777 747 V2 HUD
We have HUD's only on the B737-800's at AA. BTW... the main reason why it's common for 737's to have HUD is to have a 3rd navigation system which is required to fly Cat III C. Most wide bodies already have 3 autopilots or nav systems incorporated to allow for Cat III C operations. Sent from my Sony Xperia TL

Close up of 777 gear up and down
Even though the hydraulic mule has 3000 psi, the volume is a lot less than what's available in the aircraft system when you use engine driven pumps and/or ADP's or ACMP's. Sent from my Sony Xperia TL

777-300ER First Class....
Business Class seats are a pain to work on too... ^_^ Sent from my Sony Xperia TL I've never seen a 3/4/2 config in Y class, I've only seen 2/5/2 and 2/4/2 at the last few rows. And 3/4/3 on the 777-300.Sent from my Sony Xperia TL

Close up of 777 gear up and down
Been there, done that. I changed a hydraulic line on the LMG antiskid module, so a gear swing/leak check was required. The hydraulic line replacement doesn't require a gear swing, but this particular aircraft lost 50% of it's Left System Hydraulic quantity, so we were leak checking everything.

777-300ER First Class....
...definitely the most difficult seats I've ever worked on. Way more advanced than anything the Captain or F/O would ever sit on in the Flight Deck! LOL Sent from my Sony Xperia TL

EFB ON 200LR
We don't have EFB's at AA. Our Pilots use iPads, Maintenance uses Samsung Tab 2 10.1's & Flight Attendants use Samsung Galaxy Notes. http://www.neowin.net/news/american-airlines-replaces-paper-flight-manuals-with-ipads Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Engine proportion/size wrong?
Might as well complain that the wings are too short as well! :lol: Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Which haul will you be doing?
I usually don't have a lot of spare time available, so I'll probably do a lot of JFK/MIA, MIA/LAX & LAX/HNL flights. Or if I just want to get a few quick cycles, I'll fly MIA/MCO/MIA or HNL/OGG/ITO or KOA. Sent from my Sony Xperia TL

Just pondering...
They don't happen very often at all. This one was a case of a Ramp Rat not watching his Wingman during pushback. During Heavy Checks the APU exhaust is checked for cracks, wear, etc. That's when it can start getting expensive to replace them due to wear/cracking that is not found as often on straight exhausts.
