None the less, the distinction needs to be made.
If the 747 could take a dump, it would be bigger than the 767.
The distinction HAS been made. The 747 pays more. It is a bigger airplane. duuuh. You guys seem to want to dismiss the 767 as if it were a MD88... long range, but insignificant wrt to international operations. (No insult intended to MadDog drivers) Fine. You win. And.... you're right Cap'n... you would never want to fly the mini-van. The destinations are lame, the aircraft sucks, JFK is a quagmire. Make ya a deal: You stay off the 767, and I'll NEVER bid the 747.
But you can't forget either that if the 767 took a dump, it would be bigger than a DC9.
Oh, and one last thing.... how's that 787 thing coming along? Still think it's gonna fly anytime soon? And when/if it ever does, will you consider it a widebody? Just curious...
