BIGGER airframe?
Okay, enough smack talk about this new AIP. Let's talk about our pilot egos. What are y'all hearing about a bigger airplane showing up on property?
I'll start....company talking to Boeing about reviving the 757 line because we don't necessarily need widebody capacity but we do need the performance. Think MDW & mountainous S. 'Merica. It would be reengined (seriously) but the roll up/built-in window shades, AUTO feature on the START SWXes would be deleted (only partly kidding).
Also, 767s as they are still in production (FedEx, AF (don't get excited SWAPA kernels, & UPS(s) and are significantly cheaper than 787s.
Also, we're buying Hawaiian for the Asia/ETOPS/wide-bodies and stapling the bastards and stealing their A330 & B767 Cptn seats. Given my background (see note south of avatar to the west of here) you can probably imagine how much I'd be in support of this (not at all).
So what is the latest rumor out online?
