Think of the adjective possibilities:

Super Duper Premium Wide-body!
Uber Super Premium Wide-body!
Super premium Double-wide Bodies! For the trailer park crowd.
Plus size Premium Wide-bodies! For the big boned women crowd.
Super-sized Premium Wide-bodies! For the fast food crowd.

Ahhhh - This is too easy. :)

Scoop

I gotta say, the 380 looks almost half way decent in DL colors.

Superer Premiumer Widebody!

I guess I don't know what you mean by "3 configs" for the CO 737s. Alaska runs 737-400's with round dials and 737NG's - with tapes with the same crews. Although they have a much smaller fleet, their 737 mix is very similar to CO's.

Training question. Do we get any pay for viewing the CD's and all the homework before attending training? It is paid something like all the Phase training where we got paid 1 minute for every 3 minutes of training, or is it something we do for free?

Roadie;
Put you codes in and then go look at your time card on DBMS. You are paid for all of them. It is pay and no credit.

You've got to admit, whoever did that photoshop did a really good job because if it hadn't been around for a while you could post that and have phones ringing off the hook around this airline going "WHA!?? 380!?!! WHY!!!!!!?"

Really, I'm surprised that thing came out that ugly. I think the 330 is a good looking airplane, I don't know what they were thinking with the beluga whale look on the 380.

But it looks like the Alaska 734s have speed tapes embedded in their PFDs along with the traditional round dial ASI and that is why they can fly the NG's with speed tapes as well as a round dial cockpit as one category.

CAL had 733s that were completely analog and then all of the NG stuff which required the use of the round dial pics but now that the 733 fleet is going away or gone I wonder if they'll go to speed tapes as I think the 735 has the ASI tapes in the PFD- could be wrong.

A 764 LCA explained to me that is why the CAL 756 and 764 fleet is a single category but since DAL doesn't have that option on the 756 PFDs then it remains a seperate category.

So 748s. Hmmm. Is that a single category with the 744?

Everyone get their customer engagement kits yet?

It's got some... uh... good stuff on... uh... PA's.



It's funny about PA's, with some they're not made at all because they frankly don't like people and then there are some that do it way too much and at 545am or 1135pm when nobody in their right mind cares. But one thing I heard that UAL tells their pilots is that you must remind them when you're early. They always think you're late if you stop while taxiing into the gate so rub it in.

Good call on the -300's - I didn't realize that theirs were non-EFIS. According to APC their -300's are indeed all gone - the only classic 737's that CO has are the -500's and they have the EFIS with A/S tapes just like AS's -400's.

So keeping the round dial presentation on their NG's seems to make no sense now except for the fact that it is their current standard. Making the change to the tape display on the NG's is probably pretty low on the old priority list

I think the round dial drawings on the NG screens is hideous.
