Idk, if they make a tail dragger version of the 739 then I'm bidding over.

They could finally make bigger engines for it too.

No doubt. When I first got into the 757 I figured it would replace both the 727 and 737.

If in 1989 you had told me that by 2015 Boeing would still be stretching and selling 737's, but the 757 line would be shut down, I wouldn't have believed you.

It's like watching a horror movie!


737, WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!??

Public Service Announcement

For those who haven't gone through the upgrade yet and use Quicken, as part of the process you have to change your user name and password [don't ask me]. DO NOT change your user name and password in Quicken. The system Quicken uses to access your accounts and Online Banking are separate. The upgrade is not simultaneous. I'm not sure if this is actually classified since THE $#*&ING CREDIT UNION DOESN'T BOTHER TO TELL ANYONE

I've spent far too much time un$#*&ing things since this upgrade. The last time I called, the rep couldn't even find my accounts until going for help . I'm done. I just opened accounts with a hometown credit union.
Not to pile on, but I will anyway....

You do realize that you now have a choice of TWO credit unions, plus whatever CUs you may have locally, right?

I've belonged to the "other" CU for going on 17 years, and their service has been nothing but exemplary.

You really know there is no news and nothing to B1tch about when we are complaining about frequency of landings.
AS mentioned before, what is with the Open Time? Wonder if it is a good time to put in a GSWC. Seems they are upgrading, putting a date in now brings up a calendar.. that new?

Fly the leg or ride the leg. Don't matter to me, they pay me the same either way. One slab of concrete looks just like another.

Maybe I am dense. What "other" one are you referring to, not including any local ones?

Perhaps Wings Financial. The old NWA CU. Top-notch folks and great service. No complaints after 18 years with them. I believe you are eligible for membership if you've seen an airplane once.

I can't say enough good things about WFCU. they have been absolutely superb for customer service, and loan rates. Their savings rates are competitive. The only downside is if you don't live in MSP or DTW, their branches are somewhat limited.
