Sure enough, there it was.

Urban Dictionary: thunder mug

thunder mug

1. a small plastic pail or bucket used during especially long road trips to substitute as a poor man's toilet stop

2. a large, china mug with a fitting lid that fits under a bed. It is for night-time use when a person does not want to walk downstairs and outside to the kybo.

Thank you. I thought I knew them all.

So while you whine because your W2 isn't as high as a SWA pilot, pardon me if I tell you in no uncertain terms that IMHO you are in fact a whiner. There are a lot of people out in this country that are having a really really hard time, and for you to lecture me on acting childish is ludicrous. And to watch you defend a DAL wannabe trashing the majority of this pilot group just confirms all those suspicions abourt you and him. Have a wonderful Delta Day.

Qantas cancels jet orders as it posts first loss

Looks like Qantas is getting some money back from Boeing for the delivery delays. I'm thinking Boeing has probably started building these already then.

Wondering if BA will have a problem plugging these into the delivery pipeline somewhere. I'm guessing they are so behind on orders that it won't be an issue, but it could provide a nice discount for any carrier willing to pick up these orders on a short timeline.

Anyone think we might make a play for them? I don't see it happening, just curious.


When are their delivery dates?

None

Couldn't find it. Article didn't say. I'd be curious to know though.
Seems like as of late, more aircraft sales have been canceled than ordered.

"I'm Hudson, Sir. He's Hicks."
