Continental 1803 video - Page 2

Continental has a hub at KCLE, KIAH, KEWR, and in Guam where they operate Continental island hopper flights with the 737-800 and 767-400 between Japan and Guam and some other islands in Micronesia. KCLE actually used to be a United hub in the '70s and '80s.

Does Guam even have an airport? How many times do you hear a person say, "I am going to Guam" ?

Doug Taylor · January 4th, 2008, 01:48

Well, Air Micronesia, a few flight attendants that I know that commute there and....Continental. (unless that's who CAL acquired several years ago).

pntbllr233 · January 4th, 2008, 01:55

Wow this web site needs a dictionary of abbreviations. Haha! I assume CAL is China Airlines. If I am wrong please don't make fun of me. I read a lot on here and I don't really understand the abbreviations. All the 121 and 135 stuff is the type of license a person has right?

Doug Taylor · January 4th, 2008, 01:56

I'm actually slowly working on that.

Doug Taylor · January 4th, 2008, 01:56

Slowly.

pntbllr233 · January 4th, 2008, 02:00

Really? Awesome! Now all of us young non-flyers will understand what you seasoned vets are talking about.

coa787 · January 4th, 2008, 02:03

Guam's main airport I believe is Agana-Guam Int'l (PGUM). That's were Continental operates it's island hopper flights from. The callsign for those flights is "Air Mike". Continental operates 'Continental Micronesia' flights there.

CAL is China Airlines. COA is Continental.

I'll take care of you guys, just be patient!

pntbllr233 · January 4th, 2008, 02:12

That airport has some pretty long runways. 10014' and 10015'. I had to flightaware it. Thanks Doug. I guess patience is one thing a person needs to have in order to be successful as a pilot.

Flightaware is also a good website to find out the actual airline abbreviations, only three letter abbreviations though. For some airlines, the two and three letter abbreviations are the same with the exception of a letter, such as COA or CO, AAL or AA. But for others, it's different, such as CPA or CX, which is the two and three letter abbreviation for Cathay Pacific, SCX or SY for Sun Country.

isnt that flight like 6 hours long? i doubt this gentleman was making PAs the entire flight. i believe its normal for a pilot to make a PA at the beginning and end of each flight? it just seems like all the PAs were put into this short video, making it seem like he talked a lot.

They more than likely put that in there to keep it interesting. If you just sat and watched with nothing but music it would be a little boring for MOST people. I love watching all the aviation music videos on youtube.

Welcome to JC!

Doug Taylor · January 4th, 2008, 02:43

Some pilots talk WAY too much on the PA.

If you're late, #### until you're actually underway. Nothing drove me nuts more than pushing back 20 minutes late and having some dork in the cockpit talk about what the flight number was (Too late at this point!) , where we were going (don't I already know?) and where we were flying over (PHX to SLC? We're flying over the Grand Canyon? NO WAI! WHOODATHUNKIT?!

)

If there's in-flight entertainment, keep them to the minimum because you're probably interrupting the movie at a critical moment.

pntbllr233 · January 4th, 2008, 02:57

Well that was a red eye flight so I bet there was not any ,"Ladies and gentlemen, if you look to the left or right you will notice the Grand Canyon."

If it is so grand then why can't you see it at FL330 at 2am?

CAL is China Airlines. COA is Continental.

Within the company they call themselves CAL. Its also their ticker on the NYSE.

I liked the video Excellent!

What's China Airlines' ticker?

LBPilot1 · January 7th, 2008, 00:27

Not Sure. I don't think China Airlines is traded on the NYSE.

Scuba · January 7th, 2008, 11:20

Definitely best video I've seen.

OldTownPilot · January 7th, 2008, 12:00

I got reamed a couple of years ago over on anet for calling Continental CAL. Lets not bring that crap over here. This is a professional site of mostly American (as in US, not the airline) pilots. You need to read for context, not "Can I piss this guy off anet style?"

CAL stands for Continental AirLines, China AirLines, and any other airline that begins with a C. Get over it guys.

It's not. It would be traded on a Chinese market if its publicly traded.

Haha!!! I actually know Continental as COA. I was just asking if CAL meant China Airlines because I thought they were talking about some regional that I have never heard of. One more thing, I met an ASA captain in Atlanta today. I am NETWORKING like you all say to. He seems like a good guy.
