The latest posts here remind me of being in KBP, and waking down by St Andrew's Cathedral and there was a wedding party on the way out. The bride was wearing a mid thigh red.. and I mean RED wedding dress.. high heels... stunning. Some would consider it slutty, but in KBP.. it just worked... Damn I miss eastern Europe..

I agree with not being concerned about the walk around stuff til later in training, like near the end. They're easy hereof handled correctly a deep system question can come from a simple picture that will require more than rote memorization of the LOD but at the same time be straight from the LOD. Review it to see what's there but take a moment and think how that whatever relates so your answer is as quick as a Ferd.

WN just substituted all of their -700 orders (23) for 2013 to 737-800.
Then in 2014 it will take more -700 than planned, a total of 35.
You figure out why I post this here...

320 Training
Just in case anyone was wondering I talked to the training planner today. He said to expect "ground training" and the 100 series NATCO, the 200 and 300 in Miami and back to NATCO for the 400 series..... I think I got that right. It will probably be that way until April or March.

Southwest also placed an order for 150 737 Max aircraft
Gary Kelly WN CEO: "Commonality with existing fleet was the key to buying 737 Max."
I can see the 737MAX overhead panel already ;-)

[I]Kelly said. “There is much that is the same, and that is very, very important for a company like Southwest Airlines. Our strategy is to be the low-cost producer. We achieve that not with low wages and not with old airplanes, but with efficiency.”[/I]
This is the biggest problem that Delta has going forward... 10 categories/fleets with many more sub fleets inside the fleets. It will make our cost high, even with low wages compared to UAL, AA, & SWA.
