...record the total time a plane spends on the tarmac if the plane returns to the gate and then later takes off. It also does not include the tarmac delay times if the plane had been diverted from another airport or if the flight is ultimately cancelled, says David Smallen, a BTS spokesman. Those flights are just recorded as "diverted" or "cancelled," regardless if passengers have sat on the planes for hours, according to Smallen...
...hoping to make Schmidt's legislation unnecessary, however. In June, the Bureau launched its own review of data collection methods regarding tarmac delays. According to Smallen, BTS didn't realize its data was inaccurate until after it "was brought to our attention following JetBlue," he says, referring to the JetBlue tarmac delays at JFK in February. After the BTS completes the review, it may change how the data of tarmac delays is recorded. In a curious turn, the Air Transport Association - which originally used the BTS data to defend the airline industry's handling of tarmac delays - now supports...
...almost impossible to determine how many flights are getting delayed on the tarmac. Smallen acknowledges that the available BTS data cannot accurately answer that question. To find data on Hanni's flight, Mogel - who runs a business developing software products - had to sift through FAA records to see when and where her flight actually landed. "That process of brute force takes about 30 minutes per flight," he says. "In 2006, there were 120,000 cancelled flights and 16,000 diverted flights. We're talking 136,000 flights to look at." Castelveter admitted that with new reporting procedures, the BTS data...
...cellar to paint dead leaves in a vase, and won a gold medal for capturing the musty golden light in his hideout. A New Hampshire housewife named Eugénie C. Cooney had won another medal with her painstaking portrait of a lonely pine overlooking the sea. Dr. Harry Smallen had studied the surf at Martha's Vineyard, Mass, and successfully avoided the soapy-water look that makes most amateur seascapes dreary as dishpans. An old New England mill seen through a stand of bare trees, by Connecticut's Samuel Meulendyke, was as gracefully rendered...
