It'll happen just about the time we transition to the Delta terminal in FLL, that should be interesting....

Anyone know if Delta North already did that pairing?

We used to run packed Song 75's on that every few hours then it got downgraded to -88s so while better than nothing, looks like more down guaging, not really an attack.

Don't remember if NWA did it, I know one of my other airlines used to do the route. :D

Just curious, how is this new? The MD-88 has been flying LGA and JFK non-stop to anywhere in FL since I've been with the company.

Perhaps they shifted some of the flying to an A319.

jetBlue has lots of TV channels and more comfortable seats on the same airplane.

Gonna have to be some incentive for passengers. Fares, frequent flyer points, or something.

We're installing inflight entertainment systems on our aircraft. I'm sure the fNWA aircraft are going to get the same systems soon. Plus, the last couple times I flew JetBlue (5+ hour long flights), the FA's did one drink service at the beginning of the flight, and disappeared until we started descending. Trash everywhere and passengers practically sleeping in the aisles. No FA's around anywhere. I wasn't too impressed to say the least.

True, and we're addressing that. Our 88's are getting Wi-Fi as we speak. Our 73N's already have sat TV and are next in line for the Wi-Fi. I think DAL is pushing it up for the incentives. Plus, we're the largest carrier in the world. So, that pax from FLL can go to wherever in the **** she or he wants to. Final destination is not NY, or Long Beach, or Oakland. Think what you want, our route system (thanks to our newfound bros and sis) is off the charts.

Besides, we're more handsome and wear gold lamay thongs. :p

I here Captains get a Diamond Stud above the crack after there tenth year of service.

I thought that it was issued with a small piece of coal there and captains were required to turn it into a diamond stud after 10 years of service.

Now, that's funny!

I think it's actually one of the qualifiers to be a LCP.

7ER LCPs can usually pop out an entire Diamond Necklace on any given TOE Crossing.

The only one that matters.... it's a leisure market. Price is everything.
