PHILADELPHIA—Happily nodding their heads and shaking hands with each other in congratulations, thousands of pleased but calm Philadelphia residents reportedly said, “Well that’s nice,” Sunday after the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory over the Patriots. “This sure is swell. Both teams played a good game, but I’m glad we came out on top,” said local Eagles fan Jeremy Romano, who smiled and quietly began cleaning up beer cans and pizza boxes as his contented party guests quietly patted each other on the back while watching the Eagles receive the Lombardi Trophy. “Boy, it sure is nice to finally see the Eagles win the Super Bowl. The Patriots can hold their heads high, though, they really gave it their all. What a pleasant evening.” At press time, sources confirmed that a group of celebrating Philadelphia fans on the street had grabbed dozens of empty beer bottles and placed them in the appropriate recycling bin.

There was not a single delivery in January.

Perusing the technical docs... I see nothing, zip, nada that is restrictive with regards to range of our soon to be delivered jets. Every number matches the manufacturers description of the aircraft capability wise. So there is nothing to restrict Delta from using the jet to the fullest extent possible. Paying a manufacturer a fee for using it's product as it was designed sounds unlikely. The manufacturers website claims a 3100 mile range with full passengers and a typical mission profile on a standard day. They even used heavier passenger weights than we currently use. That makes any transcon city pair well within its capability. It'll be a workhorse on feeder routes, sure, but with the Boeing challenge all but put to rest, I think we'll see some interesting routes eventually on this jet.
