Reading the last 6 pages and not many comments on the loss of flying for our pilots and flight attendants by the DOWN SIZE plan on the BOS-LGA shuttle. I know DCA-LGA has been this way for a couple years now, but the transition is complete with this wholesale giveaway. Once a cash machine, due to many reasons, Acela probably the least, no MARKETING, IMO the primary, we have lost a jewel, and 40% fewer seats to commute.
REMEMBER: NONE of this would be a problem with proper domestic scope. Then it wouldn't matter what airframe the company chose for the route..... It would merely be a different AE bid option.

Acela the MOST.... I have neighbors who traveled to NY regularly and loved the Shuttle but as soon as the skies got cloudy they would just hop on the Acela instead.... Since Shuttle OPS/Disp. got moved to ATL, they cut rolling flight numbers, use of spare slots and standby crews and airplanes is what hurts the reliability and then drives businessmen to the train.

Fightin' words!
No, I'm looking for it, it's from the right side. The engine is in flames. They showed it to us in class once at Coex and never have seen it again.
BTW, speaking of 747s, in my quest to find that picture I found this one:
Moral of the story, when covered with ice, use long runway.
And if you're plane is hit by a truck, run:

Here is another "interesting" video that is starting to get some traction.

As it stands right now, 50% of all DL departures are not flown by DL pilots. Anderson himself agrees that DL pilots should be up front, apparently.

I was Hong Kong curve certified to the old airport back in the day. That was some crazy stuff in a heavy. One of my last times thru there I remember the tail of a 747 sitting in the bay off the departure end. Apparently he had gone off long the night before in a storm.
