Just a question for the analytical types: The 739 has decent legs, but what would we be doing with an etops version? It can't make it to europe can it?
According to Boeing it can just make London form JFK so a few other Western European airports are possible. It would probably work pretty good from KBOS. Not sure how winds would affect it.
West coast to Hawaii might be a better fit.
From the Boeing site:
Boeing: Commercial Airplanes - 737 - Range Charts
I will vouch for the 700s awesome range - I know guys who have ferried from Hawaii to JAX non-stop with re-dispatch and guys routinely do HNL to DFW, Ok actually NFW
Scoop - Thinks most DAL Captains are awesome - even the guys who don't buy the beer!
