I guess I'm surprised they'd fly it at all on the near transcons. It seems like a better fit on the ATL to FL markets where there are still a lot of '57's.

It's a TRANSCON monster. Does well from anywhere east to west. Its also quieter than the -800. The summer will be a challenge with the lower cruise ceilings.

Just the navy guys. Air Force guys prefer Malibu/Santa Barbara. ;)

Thanks, everybody. I saw the greater frequency with the bigger planes to DTW and thought, "Man, I've gotta be missing something."

Seniority matters. If I'd come on the property one class earlier, I'd be able to hold LA. As it stands, I'll just barely be able to squeak into the SLC 73 when I come off mil leave.

So what I'm saying is, Helloooo Vista! You guys will all be invited to the housewarming party.

Hey! WTTF?? "Air Force" and "navy" in the same paragraph and you only capitalize Air Force? Something tells me that was intentional. :D
