Jump to postIt is correct. Out of the back of my mind I think they flew in between the 727s and the 757s.

Jump to postDid Northwest operate 727-100s in Asia? WE, did not operate any of the remaining 727-51s there, only the -200s that WE acquired through Republic merger and 2nd hand market as they were overwater equipped.

Some African countries still use 707s to transport high ranking government officials. Could these executive jets be replaced by A340-300s? Does the A340-600 burn less fuel than the 707?

Jump to postSounds like this aircraft is also the 1st A220-300 for DL. Am I interpreting that correctly? If so, I cannot imagine DL being willing to accept an aircraft which has had fire retardant foam penetrating into and covering portions of the fuselage.

Jump to postLast night I was traveling on a DL A321, and noticed that at door 2L and 2R the seats in the row in front of the exit (I believe row 12) were partially blocking the door.

Jump to postMy guess is that it was probably a new hire flight attendant who got the logic of the matter mixed up. As someone posted above, we “request” that passengers lower the window shade and open the air vents while th aircraft is sitting idle at the gate.
