I agree completely! GH has done a TON for our network, particularly our international network. When he came over from Continental, we started flying to a lot of places no other US airline flew to, until AA and UA started flying to those places too, and there weren’t enough pax to support multiple airlines…I’m looking at you, Budapest. But there were more.

Come on guys, give him some more toys to play with!

No, the 764 flew domestic. We have a 765 category because 764 was the original category and was domestic so using current category instead of aircraft type is twice the inaccuracy.

I remember we used to call the 764/5 the 400 for simplicity. Then we merged with Northwest, and their 400 was the 747-400, so the Northwest pilots used to refer to the 767-400 as the 2 by 4, so as not to confuse it with the whale….the true “400”. The first time I heard that I was confused until it was explained. Pretty funny, I thought.
