Jump to postcost per seat does not mean yield per seat.
Jump to postYes, an update of the current design would be good. The IB on the tail is iconic. Mayn carriers would be happy to have such a widely known tail logo. (and the new desing from last years looks way too much like Avianca)
Jump to postWell it is not the fault of the plane, when an airline buys one or two sizes too large.
Jump to postOne wonders why they bring the livery that has been met with so much resistance when they thought about introducing it the first time. The IB on the tail has to stay. It is like LH dropping the Kranich.
Jump to postNow one could have used dark blue instead of the darker grey, but then I am happy about any piece of yellow coming back to Condor so I like it. Sunny heart is a good logo for a holiday carrier imho.

Jump to postI see no fault by Norwegian. They took airframes which should have been deliviered after the big teething problems are gone, they signed up for Boeing goldcare maintenance.

Jump to postEspecially LH was never a fortress for Boeing. LH was pushing for the 737, they ordered the 748i, the 707, 747. 727. 737, 757/767, 777 (for Swiss and LH Cargo).
Jump to postConsidering that BER will probably already be running at max capacity in 2020 (or when it opens), I can not see many <acronym title="Lufthansa (Germany)">LH</acronym> longhaul flights from there. Maybe they drop the 2-3 routes from <acronym title="Dusseldorf - International (Rhein-Ruhr / Lohausen) (...
Jump to postThat is the plan for the existing fleet, yet for a new purchase, it might be tempting to have the "old" number of seats again, just with the additional higher revenue of the premium eco.
Jump to postWhen you look at the pax capacity, do not forget that LH, will add a premium economy in the future. So they need a little more room for the same number of seats, compared to their current layout.
Jump to postD7100. Af is way better and ISO quality is also better . Per pixel the sensor are more or less equal, but the D7100 has 50% more pixels so the down sampled image from a D7100 will look better.
Jump to postHave you seen the laughable buffer of the D7100? This camera destroys nothing. We Nikon shooter envy the Canon shooters for the 70D and more so for the 7dII.
Jump to postI would like to know from users who already went for a D800, what their experience is. Do you miss the crop factor of APS-C, do you miss the FPS of a D700 or D300?
Jump to postI think there are too many 767s and 777 (even A330) on the market to make the A340 conversion viable.
Jump to postI still think their 20 747-8 options will turn into 777X orders + X additional 777X.

Jump to post4 engine planes are dinsosuars of the sky.
Jump to postGood move by Argentina. Protecting the national airlines from international capital.
Jump to postThe regional A350 could have been an important step towards the A350 order for LH. I expect A350s + 777X (at least replacing those 748i options they still hold)
Jump to postProbably they checked the bottles while the plane was in the dock for cabin up-dates. Or they replaced the bottles and the wrong warning light went on when removing a bottle.
Jump to postWhich would not be bad. Considering that Iberia means Iberia Express today.
Jump to postThis line of thinking has made some basic service more expensive in other areas.
Jump to postWater drop makes sense to stop the fire spreading. It is all about limitating the potential for the fire to grow. Soacked gras with foam on it won´t ignite as easily as dry gras near a road.
Jump to postRyanair gets bashed for everything they do lately. Some things should be discussed, some can be discussed but other, like this, are ridiculous. Every brand tries to protect their public image. Every airline shuts down internet site using their intellectual property.

Jump to postThe MiG-21 is not easy to fly, the inlet design is problematic for bird strikes, the planes and especially the engines are old (and mostly flown more hours than designed for).

Jump to postDepends on how you measure fuel burn. Per seat maybe they are better than the 787-8, overall maybe not. The 787-9 might be better already with the 787-10 taking the crown.

Jump to postThe big problem is that with Ryanair practically every passenger uses the maximum size and weight for hand luggage, not so on the legacy carriers.

Jump to postIt is turning into a safety issue imho. It can not be a good idea to have increasingly heavy hand luggage in the overhead bins and all around the cabin, while fyling around with an empty luggage hold.
Jump to postDelta is quite strange. They decide to take their ordered 787s later but conider placing a not so small order for old generation widebodies, that will arrive later than the first 787s could have arrived.

Jump to postThat is great news for the 787. Human error is unfortunate but no problem for the plane. And this finding explains all actions taken so far. I blame myself for being to scpetical with the 787.
