For now. But they'll be retiring quicker than our pilots pretty soon.

Sure, that's the "plan" - all those 757s SAY they are going to retire at 28. But when Network sees how the economy is doing and the 757s look at their retirement package... well - you know how it turns out.

Whatever it is, I just hope it fits on the tail. I'm over these idiotic Madison Avenue focus group driven oversized logos that only partially fit on the tail at an angle that everyone's using these days.

Stupid kids and their rock and roll music.

Couldn't even make it work with an RLL But, since I was "unblockable" I could have taken just the vacation line and then worked the open board (they were VERY specific that there would be no min guarantee). But I did the reserve line since there is NO open time anymore. Couldn't see giving up 30 something hours.........

They're going to change the regs to allow an extra 50,000 cycles. New manufacturers will come up with early out incentives for them but they'll never leave.

[/LEFT]George, you and your 717. Are you making PMA parts in the garage? If you're going to keep making a case for that, I'm going to make a case for this 100 seat jet:

Left two out:

Solves mythical "no 100 seater" problem.
Can do Transatlantic turns.

You are correct. I just did GUM-NGO.

Ali Velshi is on CNN reporting on a Birdstrike to the right engine on his Delta flight today, a 757 on T/O out of JFK (to LAX), they returned to an uneventful landing.

He did give a 'Nice Job" to the Crew.

Film at 11...supposedly some clown in First Class was filming it with his iPad. (instad of having all electronic devices turned off, see what happens if you don't turn them off?? They attract Seagulls!)

According to the latest lca in the know. The 739 was chosen over the 321 for numerous reasons. It won't do what a 757 will, but neither will the 739. Kind of a prettiest pup in an ugly little kind of decision.
