Re: Boeing 737MAX Grounding News and Reference Thread 2020 [Ungrounded by FAA 18NOV2020]

The first 737 MAX to be issued an Airworthiness Certificate from the FAA since the grounding. To be N27519 when delivered. Now in the database.

Re: Abuse of the Priority Uploading privilege

I was not aware that Sports Charters were eligible for Priority Screening, thank you for sharing that. With regards to the B-52, all I see is a small sticker, as you mentioned mil jets change all the time, I did not think such a change was eligible (still don't). But, all is not lost. I see your us...

That's quite a headline. So much for the Max 10 TATL. If true that would be another win for Airbus!

Re: Winglets - Why aren't others following United?

Just to be pedantic the 737-900s (non-ERs) have blended winglets vs split Scimitars. Not entirely correct. Here's three different -900s with split scimitar winglets. I also flew on a -900 with split scimitar winglets just last September. 4940537,4601605,5178709 Along with the Alaska none er 900’s a...

Re: AS MAX impact and the NEO's future

The MAX 8 is still more efficient than the A320 NEO. If Boeing starts it's NSA program to replace the 737 earlier than initially planned, Airbus is going to need to do a NEO on the A220 or develop a new 6 abreast single aisle aircraft. At least NEO is flying. None of us know what Max will look like...

Re: AS MAX impact and the NEO's future

The MAX is not certified yet. It is still guessing that the grounded frames go into operation in March. Deliveries overall must be delayed, not only because of the delivery stops and the now following slow flow out of the already produce frames, but also because production rate was cut and there wi...

Re: Winglets - Why aren't others following United?

All AS 737s minus a few ancient 739 non-ERs have split scimitars and have had them since like 2015 Are you sure about that. At LAS I saw an AS 787 land (looked like an -800) in the older livery with no winglets at all and the cockpit eyebrows still there. Also, Sun Country has some raw 73G (no wing...

You can't help thinking this is more an effort to ramp up the pressure on Boeing to get MAX sorted sooner rather than later. I still can't imagine them moving away from their all-737 fleet.

Re: Does correct info no longer matter?

And let’s not forget, screeners are volunteers who work day jobs and give up there free time to help make this site run. I’m not sure if calling them out in a public forum is the most effective way to communicate and hope they stick around.

Re: Does correct info no longer matter?

I wasn’t aware it was hard to submit a correction. Just easier to come here and complain I guess

Re: Alaska Airlines repaints Airbus fleet

It must have required a full repaint of the engines given the amount of time spent there. Too bad they didn't have the foresight to use a decal, but at least they kept the livery. On another note, I was in Seattle last week and noticed most of the 737s still have the Proudly All Boeing marks on the...

Re: AS expands presence at DAL

It's a shame if there are destinations cut from DAL, I always consider AS when I am flying to the west coast. I haven't flown them since the switch to regional jets back in November, if the frequencies were there I would consider status matching from WN, especially if they were at least occasional ...

Re: Can Singapore Airlines Start SIN-YVR With 787-10 or does it need A350-900 like YVR-SEA

-Sea-Tac has only one Chinese carrier at the moment, Hainan, whereas U.S. carriers have given up on India. Emirates and SQ can handle a lot of the high-yielding corporate demand fuelled by the tech industry, whereas YVR is flooded with Chinese carriers that offer cheap 1-stop flights to India (this...

That EY bird is a beauty!! The -1000 is a beast, hope to see one in person but being in SEA, chances aren't good at least for now I believe we’ll see it sooner rather then later given how well the loads are on Cathay.

Re: Blatant hit pumping - how can it be stopped?

If you want to take pictures in poor light - more power to you. But, cheating to get views is weak. Ah yes, like you’re one to talk that has basic side photos of a 757 or 737 making the front page and nothing significant to it. It’s kind of ironic you’re the one making this thread as many believe y...

Wow - if the real thing looks as good as the model it will be stunning! Love that the winglets are different colors on each side to match the tail.

Re: SEA to Australia nonstop

Don’t forget Delta’s partnership with Virgin Australia. A few years ago when I was covering an event for them they said Seattle is a possibility in the future. Wouldn’t say when. Speaking of them we should see a future wide body order coming for them this year if I recall correctly.

Re: Virgin America Farewell Flight 24 April VX 1948 SFO-LAX

They did a great job and the memorabilia package was very impressive. My impression was that the majority of pax were VX employees. They created a great atmosphere and a flight that I will always remember. Hopefully AS treats them well! Nope, most the pax were fans who wanted to be part of history.
