Quoting RobK (Thread starter): Etihad's first B773ER A6-ETA is still sat at PAE awaiting delivery
Hi Rob,
Thanks for the information you provide.
Here is a snippet regarding the first Etihad/EY B777-300ER (A6-ETA). Scheduled delivery as of todays planning is supposed to be 17 Jan 2006..... So it's going to sit a while longer. Then -ETB/C/D/E will follow rapidly, I believe all within 5 weeks of -ETA...

AIRLINERS.NET CREW PHOTO SCREENER
There have been some quality issues with some 737s lately. I have heard of a B5 and B4 flight being done on a couple of '37s last week, which is insane. Most do two B2 flights, so 4 or 5 would indicate issues of some sorts.

Silly question.. (having lived in Seattle, I've always wondered, but never asked)
Are the first flights from RNT -> BFI? or do they fly to PAE first and then to BFI? Im just imaginging the flight from RNT->BFI as the shortest test flight in the world.

Quoting RobK (Reply 3): Ryanair's EI-DHY departed BFI at 0513z 7/12 for Keflavik as 'RYR800Y'.
So when did she enter service? I'm in DUB at the moment with Dazultra and Jamotcx awaiting FR558 in a few hours. According to http://www.ringwayreports.co.uk/whatsdue.htm the flight is operated by EI-DHY?

Southwest's B737 N225WN finally got off the ground on delivery on 8/12 as 'SWA8500' to Phoenix, after suffering some quality issues (N226WN delivered on 30/11).
Turkish's B738 TC-JGG was due to hand over on Friday but no reports of it having left BFI, so it will probably go today (10th) if it hasn't done so already.

Adding to RobK's list, in the alst few days there have appeared some new 737s at BFI awaiting delivery.
1835 is N228WN for Southwest, first flight (ff) 06.12.05
1836 is for Ryanair, ff 07.12.05. I guess EI-DLB if EI-DLA is not used
1837 is B-5202 for Air China, ff 08.12.05
1838 is for Shandong Airlines, ff 09.12.05, probably -700 B-5207
1839 ff 09.12.05, unknown
With daily new 737s it should take only one more month til line 1868, that is the 5000th overall boeing 737 (3132 classics built with separate line numbers).
Anyone knows its ID yet?
nobody has ever died from hard work, but why take the risk?

I get this info on pretty much a daily basis so don't bother posting it unless it's something of significance. I think folks are only really interested when they're on delivery, or about to.

SunriseValley, ZK-OKC will be a while yet and no sign so far. Line 542 which is Emirates A6-EBJ took to the air for the first time on 8/12 and there's two Etihad's and an Air France to roll out before the NZ.

Apparently Vietnam's latest B772ER left PAE for Hanoi on 8th on delivery, but no other details known here.
Currently in the air as I speak is Turkish B738 TC-JGG which left on 10th at 2234z as 'THY8108' from BFI to Keflavik (due credit to Matt Cawby for this "heads up"). Tracking.
