Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

Why is everyone so dead-set on WN having a major operation at DFW? Why would they want to make DFW as large, if not larger than their DAL operation? They may have stronger following and brand loyalty in Dallas than in any other market. It makes sense they could quickly turn a profit by expanding in...

Re: Alaska / Hawaiian Air Merger Discussion

Is inter-island flying every 20 minutes or so even possible with a 737 NG or 737 MAX? I remember reading that the cool down time is far too long, and that the RR BR715 on the 717 is one of the few engines that can do it. I think it will look different than it does today... somewhat less frequency. ...

While maybe well intended, your assessment is flawed and dramatic. Boeing isn’t going anywhere.

Re: Boeing announces Board and Management Changes

Too little, too late. I wholeheartedly agree. It is just way too little, too late. The fall of Boeing is ongoing now. I do not see them in existence in 5 years from now. BCA is now damaged beyond repair. When Boeing and McDD did that mega merger in the late 1990's, my first initial thought was &quo...

Re: UA 737-800 Loses Body Fairing In Flight

There are many (here and outside of A.net) who fail to see the bigger picture, and quickly blame Boeing directly for mishap.
