It is actually the opposite. The original design for the 767-400 was a winglet but the increased span would not allow LGA operations. Delta told Boeing they would not buy the aircraft unless it would fit in LGA since it was intended at the time as a domestic L1011 replacement. The raked wingtip was a redesign to reduce the span and get the aircraft into LGA.

I can't imagine taxiing that thing around LGA... watching a CA taxi the 767-300 around there is like watching a work of art being drawn.

I was thinking this too and pondering that the last time this volcano erupted it was on and off for two years. :eek:

I looked on Travel Net a while ago and it showed both the LRH and FRA flights got out to get back to ATL.

Actually for the 15th, we canceled. It's buried on the details page of the flight and I was able to verify with flightstats.com BA and we canceled to ATL and all types of planes were cnx from JFK to EU tonight.

Which way is that ash cloud going? North, south or straight east?
Geeze, I hope they call me and say I can't go to work...:D

But wait, what's my status if they do? Could I get stuck on Lagos?? :eek:

Gimme that Ash cloud!

The question is...what can 23k bestow upon thee? :D

It was me... and I was scared to death. :eek::cool::D


No.. not really

Question, can a reserve pilot pick up trips from the swap board?

Answer, No.

And if you think a 767 in LGA is tight, you should have been on the L10-11's going in there! And for a while, the 767-400's did it too.
