On behalf of all AA pilots, I'm sorry.

Strange that there's talk of an LAX 777 base for possibly 2 departures/day when there are already 2 departures/day from JFK.

Not a fan, eh? My best friend flew it for US and said the 321 was his favorite. Do you guys have the 33k motors on them?

With the 206k MTOW and the likely to be ordered NEO-LR having true trans-atlantic capability, that thing had better be at 757 pay!

Nooooo. I'm saying I'm sorry that this pathetic pilot group voted yes to pay a 321 the same as a 319.

Yeah the damn thing doesn't have enough wing that's for sure.

I think he's apologizing for their 321 pay rate.

NZ is great! Driving is fun but every bridge in the entire country is one lane, so you have to learn the etiquette!

There are jet boats on all the rivers that will certainly excite Mrs. 80!:D

Mostly just beautiful scenery, and if a "Lord Of The Rings" fanatic, you can visit various places seen in the films, including Hobbittown! Golem is no longer on the roof of the airport....

It's very laid back and the folks are great, but have a really annoying accent!:eek:

There are ferries between the big islands and trains that are quite scenerific....but mostly just a small quiet country. Australia it ain't!

Your best bet is to Hotwire or Priceline a 3+ star. The crew rate at our short stay suck. Any of the big names on Century or Aviation are safe for families and kids. Try the Marriott, Hilton and Westin.

I know they have lots of sheep :rolleyes:. Also world class fly fishing.

Gollum is still up there, but he has some kind of ring on his finger.

Bridger Bowl is closest and much more affordable than Big Sky. Bridger has a lot of steep. It does have a mandatory closing date regardless of snow cover if I recall so check that.
