Maybe TC can take over my job in Douglas Post Production Line Test Flight Re-Design Engineering and Certification. Somebody needs to, we are running out of overhauled, junk, DC-10 spares to keep the afterthought of a hydraulic system operating.
We are trying to recruit the guy who drives this to work. He'll be perfect if we can get him in the program.

Norwegian Air Targets California in Dreamliner-Led Low-Cost Push - Bloomberg
Norwegian Air Targets California in Dreamliner-Led Low-Cost Push
By Kari Lundgren & Veronica Ek - Sep 3, 2013 8:35 AM ET
Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (NAS) will offer flights from Scandinavia to California using the latest batch of Boeing Co. (BA) 787 Dreamliner planes it says have made long-haul discount routes newly viable.
Services linking Stockholm with Los Angeles will commence next March, to be followed by flights from Copenhagen in April and Oslo in June, with an introductory fare of $236 each way. Oakland will be served from Stockholm and Oslo starting in May.
“We believe that the U.S is low-hanging fruit,” Chief Executive Officer Bjorn Kjos said today in a press briefing in the Swedish capital, adding that there are few direct flights from Scandinavia to West Coast cities. “People love to fly cheap and they love to fly far.”
Norwegian Air is leveraging the all-composite 787’s lower operating costs as it seeks to offer discounted trans-Atlantic trips at a profit and succeed where long-haul no-frills carriers such as Laker Airways have failed. The company will hire as many as 350 U.S. staff and add bases at existing destinations New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Kjos said in an interview.
Fornebu-based Norwegian began long-haul operations in May and currently has five weekly services from Stockholm and Oslo to Bangkok and six from the two Nordic cities to New York.
Sales Success
Flights to the U.S. metropolis from Copenhagen will commence in February, according to a statement. The carrier will also add a second Florida destination, connecting Oslo with the theme-park resort town of Orlando from May, it said today.
Flights to Fort Lauderdale from the three Nordic bases have already been announced and begin in November. Ticket sales to New York, Bangkok and the Florida city have been “tremendous,” with most summer services fully booked, Kjos said, even after initial trips had to use Airbus SAS A340 jets when 787 handovers were delayed by battery glitches that grounded the Boeing model.
The CEO said in March that the longer-term aim for the Dreamliner, of which there are eight on order, is to focus on destinations in Asia, tapping demand for affordable long-haul trips among the emerging middle class.
The company has applied for a permanent air operator’s certificate in Ireland to establish a low-cost domicile for the long-haul unit that would permit the addition of flights to cities such as Beijing, Kjos said. Approval may take six months.
Norwegian, founded in 1993, switched to a discount model in 2001, emulating Ryanair Holdings Plc (RYA) and EasyJet Plc (EZJ) to sharpen short-haul competition with state-backed Nordic No. 1 SAS Group AB, and ranks as Europe’s fourth-largest low-cost airline.
The company last year ordered 222 Boeing and Airbus single-aisle jets valued at 127 billion kroner ($21 billion).

I will put it this way, you can be inside the final fix and still have time to get a complete approach briefing from a staff officer in the USAF, get your bugs set (if they haven't fallen off due to vibration & noise) and trim for the 15 knot change from max cruise to flare speed.

Norwegian Air Targets Minnesota in Dreamliner-Led Low-Cost Push - Bloomberg
Norwegian Air Targets California in Dreamliner-Led Low-Cost Push
By Kari Lundgren & Veronica Ek - Sep 3, 2013 8:35 AM ET
Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (NAS) will offer flights from Scandinavia to Minnesota using the latest batch of Douglas Co. (BA) 787 Tupperware "Big Green Egg Edition" planes it says have made long-haul discount routes newly viable. Services linking Stockholm with Minneapolis will commence next January, corresponding with the Lutefisk Fest, with an introductory fare of $236 each way, ya.
“We believe that the U.S is frozen-fruit concentrate, ja,” Chief Executive Officer Bjorn Kjos said today in a press briefing in the Swedish capital, adding that there are few direct flights from Scandinavia to other frozen tundra locations. “People love to fly, ja, and eat de lutefisk, smalahove, pinnekjøtt, Krotekake and fårikål."
Norwegian Air is leveraging the tupperware smoker's 787’s upper aft cabin to imbue their Salmon with a special flavor. "We smoke de codfish with the darker soot from de electrical wiring. Very helthy, for der diet. Der is no fiber, like carbon Fiber." We believe this ancillary revenue is just like revenue from a secondary source.
Noting that Norway isn't actually in Sweden, the company has applied for a permanent air operator’s certificate in Ireland to establish a low-cost domicile for the long-haul unit that would permit the addition of flights to cities such as Beijing, Kjos said. Approval may take take as long as necessary to buy off the alcoholics who run the government. Ireland isn't in Norway either, Bjorn Kjos clarified, "as long as we fly South, we should be OK to sell the lutefisk. We need investors."

I'm sure they're expensive as **ll to buy and probably just as egregious to operate. But I think the fun factor of flying into some really outrageous places would be beyond awesome. And of course it would have to come with floats, too.
