What happened to the "Y" project. I think it's time while the economy is good is to build the 737 replacement once and for all. Their board is too focused on the near instead of the future. We beat Airbus with the 787, we can beat them with the next narrowbody requirement.
Jump to postI've noticed AA 747's never had polished tails like DC-10's. Maybe asked before but unique Q buried in muck.
Jump to postI was curious for you pilot types highest altitude one has ever flown in a 737-700 series. Is there a record, I'm sure there is. In regards to climb-out rate how does it compare to 757. My 1st experience on a Delta 757 was out of SRQ flying south to beat a line of boomers in the east. We were headed...
Jump to postI prefer choice "A" because I think forward \ (positive) and the airline moving forward to better days with an all Airbus fleet. Too many here on forum are negative about the MD-80 fleet and I believe Allegiant is moving positively towards less maintenance headaches\scares and more positiv...
Jump to postReally,
The biggest isnt't enough. I miss the "Meatball" & the "Tulip"! . A super airline will never exists, not in the terms your thinkin of. Emirates seems to have the majority but I always envisioned something based outta Volgograd, Russia. We all have dreams.
US Navy, ATS, Alaska Airlines. We call those birds "Hangar Queens". Includes those black boxes from E/E bay that once they get to, "I" level-Intermediate (back-shop) for you civi's, end up sittin on the shelf for months on end. Never heard the term lemon referred to aviation, just cars. At 30,000 fe...

Jump to postI mean no Ill will. I do not drive with a reading .00.00. I don't have a pilots license yet but I don't drink anymore and if I did it would zero out.

Jump to postI'm full-blooded Russian decent and have a high tolerance. I have a hand held unit I keep in house to self test to make sure I am legal to drive. Cost me $150.00. Cheaper than a DUI.

Jump to postStateside = Allegiant. Realistically never
make it by themselves in US market.
Well I worked on this A/C for two days during its final conversion and yes I'm sad to see another 757 go. It was a nice break from 737-700's, that is for sure.

Jump to postNo, That is the last one. There are NO MORE Air Tran Conversions, that was the last one.
Jump to postThe last AirTran colors 737-700 on finished painted this week. N7717D. No more transitions left at this facility. Give us another 1 - 4 weeks and you'll see her at Vegas soon. Depending on any potential teething problems but the AirTrans usually go fairly smooth.
Jump to postRSW, Florida Southwest Regional,
could be considered since they pretty much built a new terminal complex on the other side from the old and long term plans include a new runway SW to the complex. Lot of room for growth though not technically new.
