Jump to postHey all, I have a question about the seating on Continental's 737-900's. I'll be flying on one in January. I'm going to be traveling alone and meeting people at my destination.

Jump to postMy guess is that for every engine you ad, you increase the odds of one of them deciding to go on stike. I think in modern times we can easily build an airplane with two engines that in the past would have required three. Two modern engines can easily do the work of three out dated engines.
I'm quickley realizing this and it's scaring the %&($# out of me!

There is a seaplane company called Sound Flight. I took a ride with them a few years back and it was a great time. They take you up close and around Mt. Ranier among other things.
