RE: Palm Springs?

Thanks everyone!

Sounds like standard seat pitch, and not DeltaExpress.... I keep using them as an example but, I am 5'9", and my knees always ground into the seatbacks on DeltaExpress. Not comfortable at all especially for a long-haul...

RE: Why Doesn't Boeing Make A Light 737-600?

So here is a stupid question: I am the guy at Delta ordering new planes. I like the economics of the 737-700 but, dont need the capacity. Rather than buy a 737-600 why not buy the -700, outfit it in a combi config, and fill the rest of it up with cargo? Oh, the market picked up, I need more steats, ...

RE: Airbus, Room For A Plane Between A321 & A330-200?

RE: 6 Engine Prop Plane In BOS?

Must have been a C-130 then. The tail was wrong for an An-225. I looked up pictures of the C-130 and with the tanks, from behind, I guess it could have looked like 6 engines. Still odd that it was on a Logan approach.
