I may think the regulation stupid, but it's still on the books so I still do it.
It doesn't really inconvenience me much and prevents me from being the idiot who slowed the line down when people are trying to get through security.

Jump to postNo one other than Boeing and it's customers/potential customers really have meaningful data about the 748s yet.

Jump to postMost billionaires are business people whose work time is considered valuable enough that their company pays for them to fly private.

Jump to postHow is airplane mode worthless? It shuts of the cell module in the phone but leaves the rest working. You end up with the equivalent of a Palm Pilot/iPod Touch.
Jump to postI think part of the reason the plane has earned the moniker is the length of its career, as well being part of the whole 747 program in general. There are whole generations of people that equate the 747 with international travel. The plane has worn the livery of most of the great historical airlines...

A couple other things: • the link when you have a private message doesn't seem to work (probably has something to do with wanting to open in a pop ip window; • selecting text and quoting it seems broken as well.

Jump to postThere's one rather major problem...when a topic reaches a certain length, the forum automatically collapses entries into just headers, which you either click on to expand; or push a bottun to expand multiple entries.

Jump to postThere is absolutely no way the US governments could force GE and Pratt to do it without completely demolishing the law. My guess is you would see GE and Pratt both threaten to shut down their respective US operations if this was tried. You'd also have a lot of other businesses become <b>very</b> con...
Jump to postYou're talking about technology from two fierce competitors being used in the same engine. There's no way they would ever go for it. Especially Pratt if GTFs turn out to deliver the improvements they promise.

Jump to postPerfect. This thread has amazing possibilities. Not only can we have an A vs. B argument and a free trade vs. protectionism argument, but a union vs. non-union argument as well.
This thread will be epic.
Have you seen Boeing's rhetoric? And honestly, who cares? Aren't we supposed to be a capitalist society?
Perhaps this would be better in the Military Forum however?

Jump to postI also think people really hate their attitude. The policies are less of a big deal, as no one is forcing anyone to fly Ryanair. The disdain for their customer, the grand standing, O'Leary's public obnoxiousness, etc. are most of the reason I hold them in low esteem. Would I fly them, sure, if they ...
Jump to postYeah, I don't see it as a big deal, especially as you still get the main benefit, boarding ahead of the vast majority of people.
