I'm diggin the new main page of APC. The author says he invented a new term about the industry called "stagnation point."
Ha! - stagantion would seem pretty good out here in LAX. I'll see his "stagnation point" and raise him with my own new industry term "Regression Point." You know you are at the regression point when you don't give a crap about the next AE, because all you do is go backwards. Hmmm maybe "Retrograde point?"

Boeing is also assessing potential upgrades to its 777 widebody range, including reengining the planes and introducing larger wings to improve performance.
"One thing I'll make sure we don't do is enter the design phase with technology that isn't mature," said Jim Albaugh, chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
This quote was in my Scottrade news brief this morning.

Boeing
Boeing is on its way to becoming a military contractor. Were widebodies "mature" when they launched the 747? Was pressurization mature before the 377? How about jets prior to the 707, or two man cockpits, cross platform pilot qualification, supercritical wings, VNAV, FMC, and two engine ETOPS prior to the 767 & 757.
What Boeing is telling us is that they have outsourced their engineering leadership and they are restricted by the capabilities of their vendors.
Sad day for those of us who take pride in our American aerospace industry. Danny stock watchers with 90 day time horizons.

I disagree, I think any crew member going to base to start work should have priority. Not going to anywhere else just your base. Get caught abusing this and all privledges are revoked. Times have changed and planes are full and oversold more than in the past and something needs to change. A Delta pilot or FA should not get bumped by an (ASA, Pinnacle,ect.) parent trying to get to work to fly Delta passengers anymore than an (ASA, Pinnacle, ect.) pilot or Fa trying to get to work to fly Delta passengers. And save the we elect to live out of base speech, everyone's not moving.
