I recently flew one from EDI-BRU as well. I also experienced a hard landing. Wonder if it's taking the pilots some time to get used to how to flare the aircraft? I actually felt the interiors were quite nice. I was on the one with the Cityjet livery. I didn't feel it was too loud. I just noticed how...
Jump to postOne is being built. Coming in for a landing would be great fun at PAE as you overfly the delivery line-up outside the boeing factory. You already overfly the great scene at Boeing Field into SEA! If this is allowed, why not now allow WN to have a similar exclusive deal at BFI as they proposed 12 ye...
Jump to postHave you flown MCS on VX? You are basically saying it's an upgrade to go from fewer higher quality seats to more lower quality seats. And I don't see anywhere in the press release that the bulkhead row and exit row will be 38 inch. It's only an upgrade if I consider 35 inch seat to be a worthwhile ...
Jump to postJust compare MCS on VX and AS's premium product. pitch goes from 38 inch to 35 inch. This statement is misleading and I'll tell you why. MCS is only 2 rows on VX. The bulkhead row and in the exit row. Those rows are 38" pitch and the exit row is that pitch not because VX made it so. Because ex...

Jump to postI have no horse in this race. Could have fooled me. And I'm sure many others. I do know a ton of hard core VX fliers and what I post here is what I hear from them.

Jump to postAS wanted VX only to stop the potential growth of B6 out west and protect it's market share. It was a chess move plain and simple. Like the WN FL deal everything said about synergies and merging cultures is just a big old PR spin machine. AS will quietly and quickly kill off everything VX. Only thi...
Jump to postIt'll be just like AirTran-Southwest. And again a higher-class airline being taken out by a lower-class airline. Shame, really. I miss AirTran. I haven't flown either Alaska or Virgin but from the sound of it Virgin has a superior product. This statement confuses me. For one, FL was not even close ...

Jump to postThe cost to retype a pilot and pull them through indoc is about $12,000 at a major. Even 3 training 'events' is only $36,000. The difference in pay between a 12th year captain at QX and a first year FO at AS is close to $120,000. If AS doesn't start a flow like AA has, they will lose QX. The pay an...
