If that dude had looked up he'd be dead. It's like that KLM 744 that landed short on the displaced threshold at SXM. |

45 total now. I've heard chirps that the number of 320's being held over for conversions has fallen, meaning more 320's for retirement. Suppose to be a handful of 76Q's still flying in a few years after retirements and conversions.
And on a related note, I experienced ship 627 with winglets?!?! I know the 650-range got winglets awhile ago before the 757 fleet fate was determined but nothing as old as 627 is suppose to be around for long. I've heard nothing of 320s getting cut, but I can't rule it out. Supposedly the winglets pay for themselves in a year or 2, so... well, you know. We also have planes in the desert with pretty fresh IFE. I do know for sure that DL is very pleased with Airbus support of their product, while boeing has gotten pretty dang cocky. |
Delta figured out how to replace the 757 ...

Don't EVER go long VIX ETF's. They don't track the Vix, they track the futures.
And thank you for the response, I was confused by the disparity in the numbers and was trying to avoid any ETF shenanigans. Thanks, E |

I was wondering about that. The VIX closed at 11.58 and the ETF's were at 22 something. So how do I go long the VIX in my brokerage link if I can't buy call options?

Boeing: "I said we are the company that brought you the 777, 747 and 757, that's all that matters. We built those." |

It's not profitably tradable unless you have lottery style short term luck. DO NOT DO IT. Listen to Orvil.
Carl Edit: That sounded a bit sarcastic, I'm only joking and I am going to heed your advice. Thanks, E |

Pilots can not bid equipment or bases within the divided system Extra expense - separate certificates require redundant management structures and each Certificate is in fact another fleet type under the regulations with different mechanics and crews. In efficient - airplanes are constrained to arbitrary scope limits rather than their Certified capabilities. That's just off the top if my head on my phone in the tag office. I too had rampant run of "B scale" thoughts. I'm not a FAN... |
