Re: Sun Country Airlines News and Discussion - 2023

Any news or rumors of further fleet growth? The 738s seem to be hitting the spot… plenty of good frames available! “Sun Country is already lining up aircraft deliveries for 2024 and 2025, and the airline plans to add 7-9 “aircraft to its fleet in each of those years, Davis said. https://aviationwee...

Re: Nearly half of Brits say Prince Harry should lose his title, survey suggests

I’m an American so I don’t really have much skin in the game. Should Harry lose his titles??? NO!!! What happens if Prince William and his entire family is wiped out by a 9/11 type event, a plane crash of his entire family, or a host of other possibilities in this bizarre age of life?

Re: Kevin McCarthy makes history... first in 100 years to fail Speaker vote

I was a Republican until GW Bush ran. Ever since, I’ve voted D across the board. GW Bush was and is an idiot. What I’d love to see happen is a mainstream / center right figure get the speakership. One who could get 100 Democrats onboard and 125 Republicans onboard.

What stops the range of the P8 launching missions from launching weapons from nearly 1,000 moles away?

Re: Man storms into AA cockpit during boarding, breaks flight controls

I think mental illness has quintupled since COVID hit. (All of u including me) are approaching this from a sanity point of view. I’m an executive at a mid-sized (6,000 employee) company, and due to a baseball bat to the head from a George Floyd attack, I’m literally missing 6 weeks of my life. My fr...

Re: Boeing confirms higher gross weight 787-10

Tell me one widebody that entered service after the 789 and A359 that has had “runaway success”. There’s a time for this aircraft and It’s coming up. Same way there’s a time for the 1000 and X. It’s coming up. Airbus flooded the market with 330s. Those will need to be replaced and I can tell you a ...

Re: Canada - Future Fighter Capability Project

All good points for sure (and all that I agree with personally). Our current government lives (like most governments I suppose) on opinion polls - very little policy seems to be driven by 'what is right' versus what wins votes. And the military has never fared well in Canada with this dynamic... 10...

Re: Don't act up flying. You lose TSA precheck!

According to FAA and Business Insider, if you act up on the plane you may be stripped of your TSA Pre-Check privilege! I hate to ask, but how many of these instances are by people that have pre-check? Wost case is you arrive 10min earlier than before and by golly have to remove the shoes and laptop...

Re: UPS orders another 19 767Fs

I think it's hard to argue that a 717 is as similar to a D9-30 as a 2021 767 is to a 1986 767. The 717 is a slightly different length, has different engines, different gear, a different cockpit. Yes, the two planes look approximately the same, but the different engines alone mark a significant chan...

Re: United CEO Tells Senate Panel that 100 Regional Jets are Grounded Because of the Pilot Shortage

If this was a looming shortage for the last decade, what steps have the US3 made in the last decade?. Exactly, none. Reap the buzzsaw for spending $7 billion in executive compensation and enriching shareholders, not employees or labor. Delta and the “Big 3” expect the US Government (aka……taxpayers)...

Re: FAA Confirms Boeing Halts 787 Deliveries

So, 20-month stop on the 737 MAX, 18-month stop on the 787... How can a company survive with its main 2 products not being delivered for 18 months each? The better question is how the stock has held up as high as it has. I know they have the defense business but commercial has got to be bleeding ca...

Re: United CEO Tells Senate Panel that 100 Regional Jets are Grounded Because of the Pilot Shortage

I’m glad they have grounded 100 aircraft. Welcome to the free market where Walgreens employees start at $20 per hr. Deal with it! Try to live on $20 per hr.

Re: Brexit Part 8: the UK government saying what I want is full access and divergence

I haven’t seen this much bullshyte about fish since the Iceland Air 757 threads. Really UKers...betting the farm on the fishes? Who need banks with their measly £100,000+ per year jobs for average workers. Let them go to Paris or Berlin! Fools.

Well Rush Limbaugh getting the medal of freedom is enough.

Re: Impeachment part II: The Senate Trial

Well, Gallup has Trump at his highest approval rating. Impeachment certainly convinced the public of one thing—the Dems were all hot air. https://news.gallup.com/poll/284156/trump-job-approval-personal-best.aspx One poll still shows the forever impeached leader with his highest approval rating stil...
