There are 16 Delta MD-90s, the originals, and then "The Others."

Remember the "The Others" on Lost? That's kind of how you approach those other MD-90s. For some of those when it comes to air flow there ain't much to be had on ground air, on apu, on ground air and apu, on packs and some times not even in flight.

/The Others.

FTB,

Can't get enough of that horse on Tangled. Good guy, that Maximus.

Went to Disney and we met Rapunzel. Kids were so excited and. She mentioned Maximus to my daughter and I said "oh he's just a big sweetheart" (our favorite line) she said "THAT'S WHAT I SAY!" Man they don't break character. That rat down there has one well oiled machine going. Although they met Sleeping Beauty and had no clue who she was. And they love Pascal.

Anyways, that's my kids favorite movie in small pieces. If they see the mother they scream to fast forward. But we are slowly branching out to "I have a dream" scene and under the water. But the bad mom is out.

That movie gets an A+.

I figured you would, but the horse as an attitude and more pics.

Yeah, and the really fun part is, if your kid goes in costume, they treat your kid as the Character.

Last visit my daughter dressed as Belle. During the entire day the "cast" referred to our kid as Princess and got her autograph. As the B & B float came around "The Beast" grabbed his heart, came around and got on one knee to kiss our kid's hand ... great photo op and lots of fun for all.

Still miffed SWA is the official airline of Disney. If I were CEO that would be fixed tomorrow.

I've been noodling around the "what if we did nothing on Narita slot scope." Can you check my reasoning?

(1.) Status quo is 175 seats per flight segment, up to 40% a month, and

(2.)the Company would lose the ability to put code share passengers on our 5th freedom flights beyond Japan. Is that an accurate nutshell?

(3.)The Company isn't otherwise prohibited from codeshare in Asia.

Trying to ensure my baseline for improvement is accurate.

1. Yes.

2. Sort of....The "fifth freedom" refers to a DL code share number on another airline's flights operated as 3rd and 4th freedom segments.

3. True.

Denny

The 720 was originally called a 707-dash-something, but Boeing changed the number for marketing reasons. UAL management had originally chosen the DC-8 over the 707, and felt uncomfortable telling their BOD that they now wanted some. Boeing said: "No problem! This is a whole different airplane! ;)."

We taxied out today at MCO and were clearly sequenced to be #1 for 17. They cut a SWA guy in front of us who pushed after and called for taxi a few minutes after we did. "The power of pizza."
