Looks like the same film company that Boeing shot for the 787-9 Farnborough Air Show preview video. That's clearly Moses Lake (MWH) and Eastern Washington with the plane.

In case you haven't seen this...incredible.

Hotel for Indoc yes...since you are designated as No Base Category in training then you do not get a hotel room. I had a crashpad in Atl for my Mad Dog training in 2010.

Okay, think about this, we get the A346s and remove two engines... Boom. Money saved.

Good idea, that being done you could increase the gross weight with the savings. Which two?

I put a few hours into my bank last month. On my PAS statement, it says the bank hours were put in at a higher rate than I make. It says c/o rate on my PAS statement. It's only about $.26 more for a total loss of $.52 so I don't care that much. Just wondering why?

It has to be really disconcerting to have numerous helos hanging around in your peripheral vision whilst bending the wings on that! I can't imagine landing with a helo hovering 100' over the runway right at mid field!

Having said all that, it seems that Boeing has finally hit the sweet spot with the -900. It looks good and is proportioned right, unlike the -8 which is a troll!

That is a fine looking machine. It still looks a little dumpy, I think because it sits so low.

After all the years of flying the 75/76 with a full load of pax, watching them yank and bank that thing made me a little uneasy.

One of these days, me and Timbo are going to get to do a ferry flight of an empty LR...it'll make the 787-9 takeoff angle look lame. We will also make the first turnoff in ATL when we land.

why is it DALPA guys keep bringing up the DPA? why are you obsessing about this Seeham guy? Are you setting him up as an excuse for more negotiating incompetency from DALPA on C15? Giving MD some wiggle room on his promise of an "historic" contract?

"Well, we really wanted to negotiate an historic C15...we tried our best, but the DPA and this Seeham guy prevented it."

Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and *** the prom queen.

As always, your erudite opinion and refined manners reflect on what must be have been a blessed upbringing. I appreciated the "horse's mouth" viewpoint on "this Seeham guy". He seems perfect for DPA.
