The offering, which is currently being evaluated by the USAF along with the EADS North America KC-45 for an initial 179-aircraft requirement, will also feature a new boom. NewGen Tanker programme manager Jean Chamberlin says the new boom will have "a wider envelope than the KC-10 and is fully digitalised". She declines to provide more details for proprietary reasons but says it will "absolutely" be developed in time for initial operating capability in 2017.
The new boom is the biggest difference between the NewGen Tanker and the four delayed KC-767 tankers that Boeing is now preparing to deliver to Italy. "Boeing and the Italian air force will seek to deliver the first two KC-767s by the end of this year," the company says.

Believe that is old. It will have a 787 based cockpit.

Boeing to build U.S. Air Force tankers

Guys,

I have the HTC Droid incredible and use Icrew max to load my schedule which works great but I having trouble with my calendar.

When I go to my schedule there is a blue download button on the bottom. Using this button I am trying to download my schedule and import it into google calendar. Every time I try to download the schedule it does not offer me the choice of where to save it to and just gives me the 4 digit i crew max code - any ideas?

Thanks Scoop

You need to change your options, your download is set for "Transfer to iCrew Mobile App" to your phone. Log on to iCrew first, then right click on the iCrewMax icon in the lower corner of Firefox, Options, Rotation, then select your download of choice.

I go back and forth between the two formats each month to download to my calendar and download to my phone.

Last night may have been the slowest Friday night on this thread in it's history. :eek:

It's losing it's luster... A discussion about phone apps just isn't that interesting

Anyone have any problems with latest pay check? I see normal DD in my main checking acct, but nothing in my savings, also there is nothing to view (view my paycheck) on Deltanet.

What or who uses the priority codes on travelnet: K39, K263, or K155? Just started seeing these codes on the stby list for non rev travel.

You hit the nail on the head "T", let's start a rumor about new 777's/747's and a new route to Antartica or mavbe a DCA_LHR_SNN_DCA flight, THAT SHOULD PUT THE THREAD BACK ON TRACK.:cool:

I think the confusion is that the displays on the 767-400 and the 787 are much the same and made by the same company. What I posted is current. The 787 is a all electric aircraft and as such the cockpit could not be adapted to a 767 which is a conventional aircraft. The overhead and display layout is all planned to be just like the 767-400. The screens will however be the newer 787 screens but it will look just like the 767-400.

Any of you old hands remember an approximate manning reduction/saving when DAL transitioned from line bidding to PBS ?

Many thanks........
