Smokin!!!

Thought Musberger was going to have a restraining order against him at the end of the game.

 

I would not say that. The dispatch reliability of the aircraft has been nothing short of spectacular for a new jet. The only other aircraft in its league at introduction was the 777. Its way above the A380. Its also meeting all its promised fuel burn targets and in fact is beating them. AvWeek had a excellent article on the aircraft now that its in service.

 

She's an Auburn grad? I mean the face says yes... but that shirt... I don't know...



I'd have to see more.



Okay now I see, definitely an Auburn girl.

Oh well. It's unfortunate, but it happens. Cool thing was while he was throwing incomplete passes at the end of the game in 2010, she was cheering for Cam and company in the greatest comeback ever.

28-27.

 

While I don't doubt what you say, where does AvWeek get their info? The last thing I heard was the 787 wasn't meeting any of its fuel burn numbers, but that was over a year ago.
Too bad new aircraft have to go through a "reliabilty" stage before they are a proven commodity.

 

Hawaii! We pretty much don't even fly on the west coast.

Scoop

 

RA is looking more and more like a genius for shrinking the "Bahjeezuz" out of mainline by outsourcing and cutting capacity. Delta is beginning to look much like NWA.

I wish someone (from the union) would diplomatically interview RA, on a fact finding mission, and ask him to be intellectually honest with the pilot group. I would like to know what his plans are for the Delta pilot group and if his goal is to try to become a NWA/Virtual Airline? I want to know if I am going to have a great future at Delta or an anemic one? I keep waiting for that "great" news that I thought we would hear after the contract was accepted but all I hear is: downsizing and cutbacks.

I'm feeling a bit jealous of others' seniority progression, aircraft orders and career advancements (HA/AK/VA/Emirates/UA etc)..I really do worry about a merger with HA or AK because tHey hired numerous pilots from 2002-2007, the era where Delta and NWA were stagnant.

The fuel burn target was a 20 percent improvement over the 767 on a 3000 mile flight. The improvement actually gets better then that at longer ranges up to 6000 miles. They have met that target. In addition the AvWeek test pilot described the aircraft as one of the best flying airliners ever. He really liked how the aircraft is designed to keep the pilot in the loop on everything that is happening. Here is his summary.

"The 787 is indeed the nicest handling and most docile handling Boeing jetliner I've yet flown. Enhancements in the companies FBW flight-control system increase safety margins and make the aircraft impressively pleasant to hand fly.
The aircraft can be flown with equal ability from either seat because the left and right sides have the same access to displays, controls and tools, including left and right HUD's, EFB's and steering tillers. Situational awareness and crew resource management are top notch because of moving and interconnected control yokes and rudder pedals, along with back-driven throttles and speed brake handle.
Admittedly, the aircraft entered service three years later then planned. But, judging on performance, it was worth the wait."

Avweek is noted for unbiased reviews and I have read others from this test pilot that were far less flattering for other jets.

 

Guess those same thugs yelled at me and my captain from a second story window for us to give them our sunglasses. I laughed and then got displaced off the Mad dog.

 

i saw that pic on yahoo this am. no wonder brent musberger was drooling last night. At least AU can recruit coeds!
