Thanks. I see that now. So it's about 12.4% B/E.

That's correct. The total # of seats is being reduced to 386.

Correct: 12.4% it is.

As far as the 7ER configurations, I don't have any problem with your suggestion, because I don't have info about what fits the respective "high" and "low" yield routes.

Again, I got in this discussion only to suggest there seems to be a reasonable rationale for changing the A319 configuration. Each plane (and each route for that matter) has an optimal configuration. I have no idea what it is. I just hope they find it. But based on my experience, the B/E and First cabins are often full of people that didn't actually pay for the privilege. So I'm not surprised to see them "right-size" First on the 319. I also think lie-flats are becoming the standard, and it only makes sense to me we will add that seat to long-haul aircraft.

It depends on how you do it. Many people on here have stated that FOs are professionals, so just let them do their job. I agree. There is no reason the FO (or the Captain) can't enter the numbers while the other pilot taxis, then switch while the other pilot verifies the entries. The FO is perfectly capable of taxiing any Delta aircraft straight ahead using rudder pedals while the Captain is heads down. It was a semi-routine practice on the -9. No reason to stop and tie up any ramp space, although I'm sure it will happen.

Are all of the 777s getting lay down flat seats in Business Elite? I was just on two of them and neither had lay down seating.

That is the way we used to do it prior to phase 6. :D

According to the video, the procedure will require that we are stopped and have the parking brake set while working with the numbers. IF everything goes as planned and we get the numbers while we are pushing, in most places it will not be much of a problem. If they come during taxi it will require us to pull off. I could see a bit of a issue in ATL, JFK, LGA and LAX as the ramps are already congested and each aircraft taking another one or two minutes stopped in the alley won't help.

I have not watched the video. You're right; if that is the procedure it wil tie up space (unnecessarily, IMO).

Last week while on vacation I found all my old HO scale trains that I collected when I was younger but never ended up making a layout. Turns out that I've got 7 engines and about 30 cars.

Figured I've got a basement now and plenty of time sitting on reserve so might as well go ahead and do something and make it look cool. I've got a lot to learn about the wiring...

Hey! That picture looks like that regional thread that you sent me on PM, haha.

The napoleons really come out of the woodwork when the mud starts getting thrown.
