Not if they can keep selling 777Fs.

If only more of you had gotten lessons at South Trinidad Flying University you wouldn't be trying to have this ridiculous @#$% measuring contest.

Universities granting degrees online have the same requirements and the same classes with the same assignments whether the degree is done in residence, or online.

Wow, that doesn’t say much for the quality of higher education these days.

Most of the available airframes for a B777 BCF are -200ER’s. ZFW enhances are limited to this airframe that make a BCF less viable for long routes. Domestic might work, but the 767 is more cost effective.

Really? How so?

Online degrees are offered through most of the world's most prestigious universities. The same instructors who teach in the classroom also proffer online instruction and courses, using the same texts, same assignments, and same grading structure.

You seem to have a bone to pick with online training. Do you suppose something magical happens if someone plains their ass in a seat to read the text, as opposed to doing so 2,000 miles away in a hotel room? Aside from online training requiring a considerably higher level of discipline and dedication to balance an education against other life demands, what is it that you think diminishes either an online education or one in-situ as a resident, by a university offering online training? Have you ever taken an online university class? Would you know?

Not sure I'm buying "disinterested third party" on this one.

No, I have a bone to pick with the education system being used as an indoctrination tool, censorship of thought, speech and ideas.

Yes, you do learn more in person. You learn hearing the thoughts and ideas of the professor as well as other students engaging in the free exchange of discussion and debate. Many ideas, or statements, are easily misunderstood when in text form only. That said, if the minimum knowledge can be given, retained and verified, then online learning should remain an option.

The comment was more a general observation that the education system is a failure (including online); full of safe spaces, pink hats, political correctness and outright indoctrination that isn't even hidden anymore.

Yes, I would know. I've done both.

Speaking of free exchange of thought, discussion, and debate, I found a forum full of free thought discussing how facts are hidden in plain sight :

Back on topic. Anything else about the 777's being delivered, or just Omni in general?
