We could buy more 737s, if we took delivery of them til 2020 we could fly them til 2060s and thereby have continuous operation of the 737 for 100 years!

Can anyone say common category between 756 and 764?

Also, the screens are a lot lighter as is the other avionics that are replaced from what I understand and may allow for some of those fun approaches. But spending more on pilots is fine too!

My vacation was liquidated due to a training conflict. Anyone know how to get in touch with the "vacation area" to reschedule??

Concurr...The gubmint doesn't have a profit motive. New tech would be great, but what we have works fine, and I want that money in my pocket.

Sooooooooooooo,

With my carry/slop in for next month, looks like I'll need a 4 day and then one of the quickies out to the Hawaiian Islands. I've done HNL enough, plus we are leaving the Princess K.

So, the question is:

LIH
or
KOA

for the filler. (I've done OGG......nice but I'm in the get outta the rut mode)

exactly!!!!

hence the eek, however there are lots of valid reasons to do it but I've got to believe combining that category would be a headcount "savings" which isn't good. Although I've heard that's not necessarily true but still I think it's something to ask in a crewroom road show vs asking if we're going to refurbish the DTW crewroom because it sucks.
