I forgot what flying a Guppy was like. My back hurts again, my ears are ringing, and I just bruised my ankle on the engine nacelle on my last preflight. The only good thing I can think of is that I get to look my marshaller straight in the eye, at the same level.

Even worse, UCH now is taking huge deliveries of "New" Guppies(NG). 5 years from now, when everyone else is taking delivery of NEO's and MAX's, UCH will be flying a fleet of fairly new old generation airplanes, trying to compete with "real" new airplanes using a lot less gas. And we will be flying them for the next 20 years. Not good.
