Return to the gate to Refuel?
Jeremy asked:
Our aircraft was waiting to depart for about 40 minutes actively taxiing when we returned to the gate because the pilot said he did not have enough fuel. Has this ever happened? Any reasons for it? Whose fault is the miscalculation?
We ended up leaving JFK 3 hours late because of this mistake. It was a 4 hour flight and the equipment was a 757 the airline American Air.

What job might my son get in the US Air Force?
Oreo asked:
My son is exploring the idea of joining the US Air Force. He just took the ASVAB and will get the results at the end of this month. He has not met with a recruiter at this point, yet.
I understand that jobs he will be offered are based on ASVAB scores. My son is not a scholar. He’s a below average student but really wants to be an aircraft mechanic or another kind of job where he can use his hands (do repairs, diagnose, etc).
Is there a possibility he could be assigned to his dream job? Is it more about current needs of the USAF regardless of education (ASVAB score)? What might he expect?
Thanks for any and all help.

Question about enlisting in the Navy?
Q-Tip M asked:
I am thinking about enlisting in the Navy but have a few questions. The two careers that intrested me were being a mechanic on an aircraft carier and doing maintnence on aircraft and repairs to the ship, and the other was becoming a minister in the navy and folowing one of the Navys religious careers. Is it possible for me to enlist and go through boot camp and then afterwards choose my career in the Navy? Are these possible career choices for a non-officer?

Can civilian companies also improve these equipment by leaps and bounds?
Wonder asked:
Today a number of things we have with us originated from the military. The Internet is a prime example of a system that came from the military. Another is the jeep which was in the military during the second world war. Likewise the jet engine that was originally used in the first fighter aircraft for propulsion.
Since being declassified and given to civilian companies, engineers from the civilian companies have improved on them by leaps and bounds. Today the internet has made dramatic improvements due to the ingenuity of the people that further developed it. Likewise, jet engines today are used by commercial liners for long distance travel.
My question is this. Can civilian engineers also make dramatic improvements on the F15 if it is released to the public domain? Likewise, can civilian engineers, using their ingenuity, develop a better Tomarhawk or Amramm missile, if they can work on them?
How about the M1A1 or the aircraft carrier, which are all classified now?

If I enlist in the Air Force how can I ensure that I become an airplane mechanic?
Mahatma Coat asked:
I want to enlist so I can learn aircraft maintenance, esp A&P and I’d like to stay away from avionics if possible. Recruiters have a reputation for telling people what they want to hear, so I was hoping to get some info prior to speaking with them. I don’t want to be stuck repairing generators or humvees (not that those jobs aren’t necessary, I just want to learn about airplanes).
