That would be awesome, but a Tulip would be even more thrilling. That was a great livery.
Jump to postAlthough A-220 models are built in Alabama, they will not be considered US planes by a big part the flying public. Southwest and Alaska built up their marketing image for people with an ingrained "if it ain't Boeing, I ain't going" attitude. Alaska tried it out with a few Airbuses, but mi...
Jump to postI feel like all the points guy does is push credit cards. I can't take that site seriously at all. As for the others they are very "meh" in my book.

Jump to postIf anyone is looking for a very detailed look at Delta Airlines and the merger I highly recommend the book "Glory Lost and Found:How Delta Climbed from Despair to Dominance in the Post-9/11 Era" by Seth Kaplan and Jay Shabat.
Jump to postI forgot to screenshot it, but I noticed a similar flight the other day with a 777. Took off from IAD and flew down to Florida and then off the Atlantic coast in a big loop.
Jump to postI Certainly do NOT think that is an ignorant statement. ExpressJet at one time flew nearly 5,000 flights daily. It was one of the largest airlines in the world based on departures The ONLY hull loss accident ExpressJet had was in the 90's, while they were TRAINING on it and that aircraft is even st...

I can't see them getting back in anytime soon. After they just went though all the effort of selling off all their commercial programs. The CSeries seems to be a great airplane and it's a shame it nearly killed the company.
Jump to postI think it comes down to engines. The MD88 and MD90 engine maintenance costs are very high since there are limited spare parts and competition among overhaul shops. The MD-90 uses V2500s, though. DL's A320s use CFMs, but there are still a lot of V2500 powered A320s in the world. I think the showsto...

Jump to postOh wow! That's interesting. Are we on the 772 for the season or what? Due to the ongoing 787 engine issues, BA has pushed a 777 onto the BWI route until early January. It's intended to be the same frame (G-VIIP) everyday. VIIP didn't take on another route on Saturday - so it looks like the 773 was ...

I have heard or seen absolutely nothing regarding the Southwest hangar, which was supposed to begin construction in Q1 2019. Was it supposed to go over where Amazon built their new facility? It does seem weird that with the continued growth an expansion of the network from BWI that there is no main...
Jump to postWell when an airline is still counting hundreds bags per flight by hand in 2019 these kinds of things will happen. When is Southwest going to introduce scanners on the ramp? They also don't seem to have any load planning department if their pilots do weight and Balance in the cockpit. I'll bet the ...

Jump to postThis kind of things happens all day everyday with people who don't quite make their tight connection. I agree it was most likely the gate agent who closed the door. The only reason this is getting any attention is because of her relative "fame." It's rarely ever worth it to hold an entire ...
Jump to postI'm sorry but this post shows a lack of understanding of the global airline arena as well as how BA got to be in the position they are in today. This whole thing reads like a giant whine-fest and I can't take it seriously. Back up your arguments with stats and statistics and perhaps it will be more ...
Jump to postI'm still confused why they bid on BOS-BHB after losing out on BOS-PBG/BOS-PQI. It's completely separate from the rest of their network and even with the substantial subsidy, it can't be overly profitable. At the very least, it is a distraction curried in by larger aspirations on a low volume, seas...
Jump to postAs a lifelong Baltimore resident let me just say that I would rather have a connection in ORD or even YYZ than fly out of IAD. A few years back it took me almost 4 hours to get from Baltimore to IAD due to traffic. It's only 50 miles from my house to IAD to boot. For me personally it's just not wort...
Jump to postThere's also flights BWI and MDT as well. Maybe once a week or so I'll see them fly over. I think it's pretty cool seeing a widebody on such a short hop.
Jump to postDoes anyone know what flew over Baltimore this afternoon around noon with afterburners? It sounded like it took off from Martin State and flew over Parkville heading south.
