In July, I was down in Southwest's JetBridge (IAH) waiting for the plane to come in, and when it did, The Captain came and shook hands with the Gate Agent, and started talking. But GPT is another story. The Captain told the Gate agent that he was taking me down and that was the end of it, and the Ga...
Jump to postYes, The VC25A has all 744 Systems... EXCEPT THE FLIGHT DECK!!!!!!!! Which is a Classic 742 Flight Deck. It does have GE CF6-80 Engines. I think people have been watching the movie AIR FORCE ONE too much. Because it does not have a glass cockpit. Sorry, But it doesn't
Jump to postARE THERE ANY AIRLINES WHO CAN GET ME SUNKIST ORANGE SODA, I WILL BE A LOYAL CUSTOMER... AHEM, UNLESS YOU ARE UNTIED, THEN I WOULD RATHER GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND GET IT.
Jump to postTurbolet, Would you want the 707 with New JT8D Engines, or the loud JT3s
Jump to postSorry Flying-Tiger, But if NWA orders anything regional for the mainline fleet, It will be the 717.
Jump to postLeftseat86, Would you like a BBJ, or a BBJ2 (Exec 738) I would want a 717 in BBJ Configuration, with this lovely little lady on board. HOT CHA CHA <img src=http://buenavistarecords.go.com/myra/images/meetmyra/myra_photoalbum.jpg> Welcome Aboard. <img src=http://buenavistarecords.go.com/myra/images/a...
Jump to post... Yeah Leftseat, I'm sure you could Bang some sense into her. My choice is above though. Britney Spears is out of my league.
Jump to postDont be afraid Brandon, If you tell her what you feel and explain it to her, she is bound to understand. I do want to warn you. TELL HER BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. It could help. Just prepare her for it, like tell her you want to talk to her about something, and then sit her down at a table and tell her...
Jump to postJason, I think you need to shut up. Aloha here is trying to keep a girl from losing the one thing she can never get back, and I feel he is doing a good deed. You on the other hand would like to see her lose it wouldn't you. I would feel the same way Aloha feels if someone tried to do that to my girl...
Jump to postHey, By the way... "Miracles Happen"
IF any female (other than my girlfriend) could come with my plane (Which would be a 717 in 'Exec' Configuration) I would have <img src=http://buenavistarecords.go.com/myra/images/meetmyra/myra.jpg> Mayra Carol Ambriz Quintana. Visit her website: <a href="http://buenavistarecords.go.com/myra/meetmyra...
Jump to postHmm, Impounded. I didn't think Aircraft could be impounded. ROFLMAO. So C3 decided since they were out of business that they shouldn't pay for landing fees. Interesting...
Jump to postTrue CaptjetBlast. But, Even if we were allowed to visit the cockpit, I would be happy just doing it on the ground after landing. You know, I heard of a dude who hijacked a national airlines 757.... ON THE GROUND. Is this true
Jump to postYou'll never get me on a russian airplane. Sorry, I will stick with Boeing, MDC, and Airbus. In other words, I will stick with planes FLYING (Not made) in the USA.
Jump to postOne word.... B U M M E R. That is totally sucky. Did they determine the cause of the fire. I am guessing the motor on the walkway had some kind of electrical flaw, or overheated and ignited something which in turn caused a fire.
Jump to postWhat will happen when ERJ launches their -195 Regional Jet. How about their 115 seater regional jet. That will be horrible. They will be replacing comfortable DC9/717 Markets with SMALL, CRAMPED Regional jets. Who can predict this. Do you think the RJ World will conquer the Boeing/Airbus/MDC World. ...
Jump to postActually, I would buy a 717 if she came with it
Jump to postWe'll deliver it to you WHENEVER, WHEREVER you would like.
Jump to postOk, I'll see if we can get her in here and she can pilot your 717 directly to your runway
Jump to postSure, We might be able to arrange something for a small price
Jump to postBecause the other one was ruined. Another way to sell the 717 (And this was not my idea) Dear Customer, If we were to fit the flight deck with MD88 Style Flight Decks, and include emma bunton along with it, would you order the 717-200. Sincerely, Rolf Sellge <img src=http://www.emma.bunton.com/graph...
Jump to postJason, As you may, or may not know. When SAS was the launch Customer of the MD95, Douglas planned on putting an MD80 Flight Deck in it anyway, When SAS Cancelled their order, Douglas Lengthened the Fuselage a little, and added the full-digital Glass Cockpit... Now knowing how you seem to know everyt...
Jump to postYeah, but the point is, If boeing were to offer options of this flight deck for the MD80, Would More customers with DC9s order it because it matched their fleet Type Ratings
Jump to postUsername: Slawko Posted 2001-12-26 01:37:35 and read 1 times. The 717's closest relative in terms of cockpit is the MD11. Boeing would have been better off giving the 717 a 737NG cockpit so that airline could have a choice between the 737-600 and the 717 although they are close in terms of pax seati...
Jump to postWhat if instead of the Current Flight Deck, The 717 had a Flight Deck currently with the MD88 or MD82. Do you believe that more airlines would have ordered them? I am guessing that if it was more consistent with the fleet of existing MD80s, more airlines would have ordered them to replace the DC9s i...
Jump to postYeah Donder10, Before this name I was Critter592. I changed it. Check your files. I made a post about it a while back. I know about the VC25A
Jump to postFor some reason, I think the 737-900 is more attractive than the 737-800. I don't know why.

Jump to postHow do you people create Digitally Enhanced Airliner Images? I have always wondered... What Software/Hardware, Program requirements do you use.
Jump to postHow many times do I have to say this.... AIR FORCE ONE HAS STANDARD 747-200 FLIGHT DECKS. THEY DO NOT HAVE GLASS COCKPITS. THEY DO NOT. I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN THEM MYSELF AND I KNOW THEY DO NOT HAVE GLASS COCKPITS. THE E4Bs ARE THE SAME. STANDARD FLIGHT DECKS.
Jump to postHoffa, The 727 had problems too, and still has more than the A320 does. I DONT WANT A STEAM TABLE REPLACING A COMPUTER. Ok The 727 we could make an exception. They are much more unique and prettier
Jump to postApproximately 36.478% realize it. The other 63.522% Just board the plane thinking it is an airline taking them somewhere, and believe that the only number on their flight is the flight number.
These Statistics come from the FAA. (1997)
All Aircraft were equipped with GE CF6-80 Engines
But they had an unusual design to them.
Yeah, and what about Root Beer. Can't airlines serve more of a...VARIETY. Yeah, I know they are cost effective, but come on.
Jump to postUuuuuuughhhh, This guy looks like a Devil in Disguise. He could have shaved, and dressed more appropriately.
Jump to postI know the topic is misleading, but why don't airlines serve SUNKIST Orange, or Minute Maid Orange Sodas? They only serve Coke, Diet, Sprite, Diet, or Pepsi, Diet, 7up, Diet. No Sunkist
Jump to postI agree with Leftseat86. If I were you Aloha 737-200, I would take her aside and explain to her that you are around her because you want to make sure nothing bad happens to her, and you want to make sure that these moron football players only want one thing, and that is the one thing you want to pro...

Jump to postDont worry 747-700, I am sure they will fit you with Rolls Royce Trent 700 Engines. Sorry Chap, but the RB211 is Far less powerful than you can handle, you'll never get off the ground. we need thrust. Let's go with the Trent 800.
Jump to postI believe NW will go for the 717. It is the Aircraft that can withstand 12 or 13 50 minute flights a day, while the A318, and 737 ared designed and outfitted for routes 2.5 hours or more. They may get the A318 to replace aging A320 Aircraft, but the 717 would be the best choice, because it would be ...
Jump to postOh, Ok... Now I am understanding it a little more
Jump to postSo far, I cant think of anything neeleman and spain haven't sent me. Well I still dont have one of those cockpit door stickers, but the chances of me getting that are slim to none
Jump to postBut why is it the JT9D is louder than the BR715. The JT9D is LARGER, and therefore, More Air should bypass than in the BR715
Jump to postI Would love to see a NWA 717. I would be one of the first customers.
Jump to postNo, it was signed by David Neeleman himself, and from Al Spain. I can tell, because he sent me a personalized letter, and the envelope and Desk Card were in his handwriting. Jason, Just a word. Don't get pessimistic, it is christmas, and I do not believe a nice man like David Neeleman would act like...
Jump to postWhy are earlier High-Bypass Jet Engines so loud? The JT9D is so loud, but the BR715 is so quiet. What makes a Jet Engine so quiet/loud. Look at the JT8D-9, and the JT8D-209, The -209 is much quieter than the basic JT8D... Why?
Jump to postNone interest me, but this one I got from Mr. Neeleman really made me happy...
Jump to postHas any airline ever sent you a Christmas Card. Today, I recieved my first from David Neeleman, and Al Spain of jetBlue. My High Praises go to that airline. IT IS AWE-SUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I wish it were real
