It is quite trite but true. Enjoy every minute with your kids and family.

For anyone curious about our new 737-900ER's, there's a new link on the 737 page on the DeltaNet (click on the airplane picture, assuming you can correctly identify a 737). It has a general rundown on the new plane; very interesting stuff ie: "Magic Lavs"
The performance part is of particular interest. The approach speeds will actually be lower than the 800. The climb performance looks to be about the same to FL 300, then starts to taper off vs. the 800. The recently announced transcons will be passenger/cargo limited according to the performance notes. Good luck to all non-revs! Oh, and expect an initial max cruise altitude of FL 320. :D |

The Delta Air Lines competition was next, and Boeing was determined not to lose that competition–and it didn’t. Market talk says Boeing’s price to Delta was 10%-15% below Airbus’ offer, though this has never been confirmed. We understand there were other considerations besides costs. Regardless, both sides are going to go all-out to win. |
SkyTeam partner Alitalia is in severe financial trouble again (they kind of always are).

The anonymity of this thread sometimes causes us to lose our perspective amidst the circuitous squabbling. We sometimes forget about what is truly important and matters in life. I am sincerely sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers to you and and your family in this tragic, difficult time. |

And, I'll take control of the airplane.:D |

Anyone go to the base meeting in DTW? Second hand info says parking 70 757's by 2015. Capt. Graham supposedly stated zero additional pilots will be required for FAR 117 implementation.

But...... Didn't ALK find out that the 900 could only get out of HNL? Couldn't depart LIH and OGG with bags, people and fuel due to the rwy lengths? Ended up having to depart those airports and stop in HNL to fill up on fuel before heading back to the mainland. Can't imagine SPN and ROR would be any different. |
