Some of the early ones (ie 55xx from the NWA side) not so much. But, the 757-300s and the 565x 757-200s are very young. How old were the ones Momma D got from TWA?

What is going to be a pain in the arse is jumpseating. I flew home on SWA from SLC to PHX last week and thought I was going to die, and that was only an hour something. The other guy took pity on my tallness and let me have the seat in front of the cockpit door even though he was first to sign up. I'm tempering my Skywest comments for awhile
