BD I just googled it and came up with this article: Boeing Completes 787 Wing Box Structural Test | AVIATION WEEK So perhaps it can last longer, but I don't think they really know. |

Why do we let the NYC base serve three airports with no company transpo?

Looks like ATL & NYC are going to burn through some reserves today. Look at that WX. YUCK!

I do agree that this is the downside of being in NYC. I fortuntely live in base. I don't want them tinkering with the reserve rules for NYC. I like the fact that I can sit reserve at my house because I am within the report time of one of the three airports.
The wx is indeed bad today. TWC is showing 100 min LGA delays. |

Why don't we have transpo? Because ATL pilots don't give a rat's ..s about NYC and LAX and guess what, they are negotiating our contracts...
That's why. I can't believe you were able to figure this out - it was kinda supposed to be a secret. |

But how many folks actually live in base in NYC? I get the impression most of the base is commuters.

But in all seriousness, the largest city in the US has the worst transportation systems: roads, trains, subways, airports ... you name it. |

Carl Yea, it's good to keep the composites out of the sun...maybe if we only fly them at night...??? Looks like the 400 will be around for awhile so we may get to fly together yet! First round is on me and the rest are on you...:D BD |

I can't believe you were able to figure this out - it was kinda supposed to be a secret. Let's add MEM as a co-domicile to ATL and see how long it takes for LM and CO. to come up with a LOA... |

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but, I don't care about the folks who choose to live out of base and commute. I agree there should be some type of crew shuttle like the FAs have so the folks who "crash" in Kew Gardens can get around. But I certainly don't want to see the rule of being able to report within any of the three airports to get changed. Doing so would mean that a lot of folks would have to move.
