I keep forgetting just how abyssal it feels to be over open ocean at night. Im doing a flight from Honolulu to LA in the 777-300ER and as i type ive been airborne 1 hour and im out over the Pacific. Im scheduled to land 0940z my aircraft suggests 0925z. Either way its just me and my aircraft flying through just the darkest dark you could think of. Sure the stars are above me. But the moon a sliver at my 8 oclock as the last faint oranges of sunset fade behind me. BTW im at FL370 and my aircraft says its +9°C up here. Cant even escape summer heat over the Pacific. Welp ive another 3.5 hours to go. I wont see any lights beyond my own for at least 3.25 hours… 005708082024 minor correction. My FUEL was at +9°C now its at +6°C while its -19°C outside. I feel dumb for misreading my displays. But its been more than a week since ive flown so lol. 1h28m elapsed flight time. Still on track for an 0925z arrival in LAX just 3 hours away! 012108082024 im showing 549 knots across the ground or un water lol. In mph? 631.778mph! A near direct 70 knot or 80.5546mph tail wind is helping! TAS or Total Air Speed is showing 481 knots or 553.525mph. Cant say this 777-300ER is being slow huh. 013508082024 just shy of 2 hours to go! 2h44m elapsed so far. Fuel at -5°C. Its now -15°C outside. Passengers are likely sleeping lol. 023808082024 1 hour till landing, 30 minutes until top of descent! Been a smooth flight. I can see the Pleiades Cluster in the sky out ahead of me. Fuel has now reached -9°C still -15°C. Fasten Seat Belt signs will be switched on in 30 minutes. Make efficient use of the time. 032908082024 descent has begun. Ive switched on the fasten seatbelt signs. Please return to your seats, return your items to the over head bins or the space below the seat in front of you and securely fasten your seatbelts. We will be on the ground in about 30 minutes. 040008082024 4h45m flight time. Thank you for joining my flight. Hope you enjoyed it. I enjoyed telling you about it PHNL-KLAX 045508082024

@AlamoVampire kitty having sated her boredom and not finding anyone or anything to ban decides she will have another bath and then curl up with you to chase bad dreams away so that rest comes to you. She looks at you as if to say to you: rest now. I will stand guard. Sleep now, you are safe with me. You look at kitty and smile. For now she watches. She protects. Kitty is good girl. 064408072024

For what its worth air travel is logarithmic orders of magnitude safer than car travel. The notion or idea the issue arose from either poor manufacturing or a lack of proper maintenance is completely wrong. A passenger aircraft such as the 787 is heavily certified and inspected. Every so often the ENTIRE AIRCRAFT is torn apart for an inspection that will take about a MONTH to complete. Every single nut, bolt, screw, push pin, and any other component you can imagine gets taken off and out. The composite hull of the airframe gets ultrasonic exams, metal components get xrayd, the fan blades on the engines and in the apu get inspected to find even the most microscopic flaw. This level of inspection happens after so many hours of time in service. (Several thousand airframe hours. Less extreme inspections occur much more frequently depending on level of inspection) Even in between such invasive inspections the airframe and other components get inspected daily. Before EACH flight the Captain or First Officer will do what is called a walk around. They check EVERYTHING they can clap eyes onto. I am going to let a real airline pilot who is TYPE RATED for the 737 and A330 explain: In the video he shows what a pilot checks prior to each flight. Prior to the flight crew getting the aircraft maintenance crews have inspected the aircraft. My point is: no matter how perfectly built or maintained an aircraft is, it is a machine. Machines break. That 787 goes from ground level to 35-40,000 feet and back down. It does this while carrying people, cargo and what ever else on the regular. It goes from a dead stop to nearly mach 1 back to a dead stop. It will see components fail and the odd errant warning pop off from time to time. That is part and parcel to the life of a machine doing its job. Lets put this into a clear perspective. Why do things like you experienced stand out? Because they are RARE. Every 5 seconds a 737 (yes im serious) takes off somewhere on Earth. Thousands upon THOUSANDS of flights happen daily with 0 incidents. To put it another way: In 2007, the National Transportation Safety Board estimated a total of nearly 24 million flight hours. Of these 24 million hours, 6.84 of every 100,000 flight hours yielded an airplane crash, and 1.19 of every 100,000 yielded a fatal crash. This is down from an all-time high of 9.08 accidents per 100,000 hours in 1994. 063808072024

@AlamoVampire kitty having satisfied herself with her bath now seeks to explore her home. Seeing as she can still not find a person or thing to ban she seeks to ban her boredom by exploring and playfully bring a smile to your face. Such a sweet and thoughtful kitty! 001508072024 breaking news! Kitty finds us a new page!

@AlamoVampire kitty seeing nothing to ban decides to give herself a bath. She decides that the bath she will give herself will ban the disorder in her fur. She is a lovely kitty. 225308062024
