Not only full forward but fully up vertically so a 4 foot tall person's head would be hitting the overhead.

You use to have to do that to get your flight bag out of the 727. Not sure why anyone would do it now

It makes it easier for the FO to stow his bag before he builds his nest on the bus.

Any opinions on this?

Delta is Expanding in China and Shanghai May Become Its International Hub - Bloomberg Business

I wonder if there are also plans similar to what United is doing with their 787's (direct routes to other large cities such as Chengdu)?

The Airbus' were NW airplanes, and had the nicer Telex 750's which are much more comfortable, so they used those vs. buying their own. (that was the one I bought for my personal use).

I use the DCs because I can't hear anything with those stupid telexes.

Have you tried using the little yellow foam earplugs under the Telex? That seems to work best for me, but I've never spent much time in a 737. From what I'm reading here, it requires a full on noise cancelling headset!

The DC's are just too hot and heavy for me, oh, and I don't like sharing a microphone with everyone who's worn it before me. I've seen where some of those mouths eat!

I'm sure there are plans to fly to all our hubs and gateways from the secondary cities. Just as soon as China Eastern gets more long range planes

Isn't that what the 737 and 717s deliveries are for?
