Ah, the Gulf Air 767’s. I can’t believe a customer ever ordered, let alone Boeing offered, an airplane with no cabin gaspers.

What were we even thinking?

Same engineers working on the 350 Delta One design?

I ZED-fared in Asia this spring (China Eastern A330 and Asiana A350) and both of those (brand new) planes had no cabin gaspers either. I had the same reaction as you as I drowned in my pool of sweat for the whole flight...

Do the overheads just not come down far enough to make it worthwhile to put them in?

That’s plane criminal, much like the new 737 gaspers complete lack of airflow.

Well not happy enough to get the rest of them. Or buy extra A330-900neos when we already have A350 in the order book being postponed.

We have accelerated the A330-900’s deliveries and added 12 airframes to the initial order for 25. Total now 37.

All of the DC-10-30's (D13) we acquired at NWA were second hand. I know several came from Swissair. Not sure of the others. And if it counts, we took 2 Braniff 747-227B's that were NTU near their end.

Supposedly after the Gulf Air 763s Delta has never done the used widebodies routine, I believe. Could be wrong.

Not sure if NWA ever did it either but I dont think they did.
