There have been a lot of 767 charters this year. The NBA has most of its charter work on 320's

And for those who need more pertinent talk... I noticed the Braves last summer using an MD88. I think a couple of colleges didn't use the 757 this past fall like normal. In previous years I've seen CAL 777s used for Tampa Bay's Super Bowl trip but this year both teams used USAir 757s. Are we seeing a downsizing of sports team charters? Are they using 737s and MD88s over 757 and 767s?

Well 1/2 right, Steelers used US Airways, Cardinals used a FNW A330. It was all over the news when they came home.

I did a bunch of 737 greenslips last year for march madness (college basketball, if youre unfamiliar). Hoping for more of the same next month. FWIW, also did a couple college baseball, and MLB charters this past summer on the 73 (Dodgers, redsox, and devil rays--regular season). Seems like the 737 works for MLB and college basketball. Maybe for world series or superbowl, they might need a bigger plane

This is kind of like facebook. Just a different version so that your facebook page doesn't ever have to see the words SOC, JPWA, MD, VD, A, B, Alpa, post SOC, furlough, displacements, 7ER, DC9, A330, A320, MD88, flight attendants, 744...

And the best part, we're anonymous. That way I can say, hey the LCA I flew with today said X, and nobody runs to ecrew to find out who that was. And ACL65 can post whatever he wants without admitting he's really Richard Anderson.

And when times are slow, which everyone says is good, then we find out what's on the other side of the fence. Its the equivalent to a friend request. Now, to de-friend someone on facebook that's done quietly, here its a public flogging followed by a public shunning.
...
Speaking of which, 123.45 crossing the ocean can sometimes sound just like this forum, a lot of feedback from those who dare to try and complete with the self proclaimed police. I heard an A330 guy yesterday mention that there are 10 A330s coming soon? I thought he said they were "white tail" airplanes that we're going to grab and I thought he mentioned it being a firm order... anyone know?

Man...I dont know how you do it...but you always find a great way to explain things. The main purpose of Facebook IS to find old girlfriends and flirt with them when your wife goes to bed. Just watch out for the pop up chat. I was sitting next to my wife uploading some pictures, when one of them popped up with .."Hey sexy" OUCH!!!

Oh boy! See I let my wife have my log in and show her all of the people I know. That way, I can tell her that she knew about her!
