Jump to postThe current bins on the main deck 747-400 dont need to be changed. I am glad they didn't, that would be a waste of money.

Jump to postI have worked several flights over New Years. The airline doesn't make any special preperations, however the crew may decide to do something like make an annoucement.
Jump to postNice trip report.Pics are always helpful. If the lack of slald dressign was such an annoyance why didnt you simply ask the crew for some?
At my airline once you consume alcohol you cannot return to the jumpseat/flight deck. Interesting to see other way of doing that.

Jump to postTiming and Schedule is another major consideration. Theoritically NW could fly an all 747 fleet to each city is serves once a day instead of multiple flights using smaller equipment, but that doesn't make any sense does it?

Bird strike caused total loss of aircraft but all employees made it out becuase they knew what to do.
According to that map, Chicago is in the rust belt too. The rust belt is not some ultra decison maker in airline service. I think there are much more prominent and important issues for cutbacks or increases in airline service.
