I'm sorry and I mean absolutely no offense, but seriously Seth when do you make this into an Ebay slash public safety forum. All I have to say about EMTBRAVO anymore is WOW. That is all!

Jet Blue doesn't fly any regionals and has no airframes manufactured by Bombardier. They exclusively operate Airbus A320/321's and Embraer E190/195's.  Both underwing powered aircraft.  I'm not saying this to rebuttal you but rather that rookie pilots flying larger underwing powered aircraft is concerning. Somehow I think they should cut their teeth elsewhere. 

No it is truly about time the Airlines in the USA are doing this. For the most part the the Airlines in Europe do this granted it is very expensive, but you will be flying a $100 Million Aircraft. JetBlue Airways spends about $85 Million without the engines yes I said without the engines, the engines are Pratt and Whitney's and each engine costs about $10 Million. JetBlue is regulated through the FAA, IATA, and ICAO. I highly doubt any one of these 3 organizations would allow JetBlue to do this if it wasn't Safe. Besides it will take them 4 years to get there according to the article anyway, and the FAA states that a Pilot needs a minimum of 1500 hours to become an Airline Transport Pilot which is an additional License that must be obtained prior to becoming a First Officer for a Major Airline like JetBlue Airways.

Source I'm a former JetBlue Airways Crewmember. Yes my numbers a accurate because those numbers came from one of the Vice Presidents of Airline Operations.

Does anyone know if the White Plains Transcare units are sitting behind the Fire Station on Ferrris Ave? Didn't see them at the Mount Vernon base.

 

Also, where did 37-M-1/37-M-2 shift change out of when it was operated by Transcare?

37 Medic One was the 24/7 Medic Fly-Car that came out of Mount Pleasant Police Department during each shift change. Medic one was typically posted at Valhalla Ambulance Corps for there tours.

37 Medic Two was only a 12 hour Fly-Car from (0700-1900) That came out of Transcare White Plains the Fly-Car would be picked up and dropped off at the White Plains Fire House on Ferris Avenue. 

Do some research Bud....

If I did what would I have buffs like you for who seem to know everything

What Exactly they do I have seen them around but I don't know what they do

You could contact Valhalla Volunteer Ambulance Corps. They have one coming up in September. Irvington EMS has a very good program I know from Experience good pass rate as long as you study.

I know that I never met you Lenny, but from what everyone has said about you seemed like a truly great guy. I'm sure that the FDNY EMS Station 7 world will not be the same with out you. I know just like everyone else here, that you are going to be missed by not only the people that knew you, but also the people that you have inspired and saved over the years. We all know that you are not with us anymore, but you will forever be in our hearts. May god be with you always, and may you rest in eternal life. John 3:16 " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". Rest In Peace fallen brother 5-5-5-5 has be rang out for you. To all your friend's and family my sincere condolences. Corinthians 5:1 "For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens".

I don't see what they would even charge these volunteer FF's with. If the Fire Truck is complies with all regs and is registered. There with be nothing that they can do, and the only thing they can do is a freelancing charge. Which is just a please leave. Even then they don't have to do that, cause it can fall under the good samaritan Act.

Land Zones are often somewhat close to the scene it's quicker then going to the airport. Regardless of and emergency or not before a vehicle can go onto an airfield it needs to me checked. Thus causing the lack of time that you don't have if Stat Flight is called. The only vehicles that don't require to be checked are airport vehicles.

Anyone have any details on this unique piece of apparatus?

It doesn't look like it has a water cannon on top. It looks more like a Electric Generator truck then anything else. The FDNY replaced the Super Pumper with the small satellite truck. Besides the old Super Pumper had two trucks a tender and the pumper. This truck doesn't look like it can carry any hose, and unless the water cannon pops up from the inside of the truck it's not a pumper. That's why I assume it's a large Electric Generator Truck.

Thanks all I really appreciate it!!! I very happy he got out with no burns or injuries.

Sorry for the late response Thank you

My Father's car caught fire on Westchester Ave. in Harrison. From what he told me he heard a weird noise when he put his foot on the gas. When he got off the Westchester Avenue exit said that he lost his brakes, and after he lost them Black/Blue smoke was pouring out the the A/C Vents. Then he said he saw the paint on the hood bubbling, and he pumped his brakes enough to somewhat slow down. He started to slow down and put the car in park the car started jerking and he jumped out. After he got out the car blew up not once but twice. There were flames shooting out from everywhere, examples: under the car, from the wheel wells, all the windows, including rear window and windshield. He then went into the middle of Westchester Ave. to try to stop some car to call 911. He doesn't have a Cell Phone, and nice man pulled over to call 911.

The way I learned it from a good pump operator. He always told me he does it like this, for a 2 1/2 in max flow is 250GPM, 5 in 500GPM etc etc

Ok, I have not heard about the new budget so I will stand corrected.

Sure Bloomberg will approve 8 aerialscopes, and yet he closes 20 more FDNY Companies. I can't wait to see what the FDNY's response time is to some areas, and lets not forget about rush hour. The FDNY trucks are fine they have some that are older then me and they still run great.

I noticed when I was driving home from our house in New Jersey that there was a big black mark on the sound wall. I looked at the road and there was also some kinda of debris, and I was wondering if there was a car fire or explosion. Does anyone know?? I is just past the Sleepy Hollow Tarrytown Exit, but before the exit for I-87 Southbound.

Why the hell did they really let this guy, and his so called wife go.

wow someone has a big mouth you know why you don't care is you are a civil service employee and you are set for life and you don't have to worry about that s*** because you don't pay for it but when it comes to people that are not civil service employees they have to worry about it i don't give a crap how big there district is with all though vehicles including the fire trucks is stupid fire trucks are obvious 10 vehicles i could understand 4-5 but 10 are you kidding me you all need to look at the big picture what does it cost to keep these 10 vehicles on the road including the trucks insurance is probably about $1,000+ per vehicle so 10 cars = $10,000 DOH Sticker for EMS Vehicles probably $500+ per vehicle 4 flycars = $2,000 just plates cause the don't have to be registered $200 per vehicle = $2,000 on top of gas/diesel 4.15 for gas times 32 gallon fuel tank = $132.80x10= $1,328 probably a week so $1,328x4=5,312 total it all thats 19,312 only for the 10 cars not including the fire trucks so do the math and i'm sure if the people in that community knew where there tax payer money was going they would say that exact same thing as me but they don't know that lake mohegan has 10 vehicles and what happens when you are not going to a call you are wasting the gas/diesel right so add more to that fuel cost

nice looking truck good luck with it what is the MA pump putting out

I bet you would be surprised at how many "staff cars" the larger career departments have.

And NO, that is not a kock, QTIP

Ya well lake mohegan is not the FDNY or Newark Jersey City give me a break you cannot justify 10 vehicles especially when gas prices are at $4.15 a gallon or course you don't care because your not paying for it right but yes you are it comes out your taxes

ok then look at hartsdale fairview and white plains do you see any of these departments with 10 vehicles and pelham new rochelle mount vernon not one department it is a waste of money

I think it is so stupid lake mohegan has like 3 chief cars 4 flycars 3 other cars this is just a big waste of tax payers money there is no reason for this many vehicles i don't care how big your district is you don't see other agencies with like 10 flycars chief cars etc.
