But, the rampers will get one.
They started shouting the other day because they thought we were tipping in Miami.
Yeah (knock on wood). I honestly don't know anything about the -900 other than they must have the smallest lav in history. Everything I have heard is either second hand or conjecture. I sincerely hope we never have a tailstrike.
At least it is quiet at F260 though
I'm guessing you can get a lot of directs?
