What do you think?
NG's are good for situational awareness (EFIS) and the fact that they can go to 41,000 feet and are a little faster. Older 737s are like a pair of broke in shoes though. I think Boeing got it right in the "feel" department with the -300. Everything just feels like it should balance wise, and I can grease on 99 percent of -300 landings. Don't do so well on others as they all have their unique things that need to be compensated for. I used to fly the 757 and that is a great machine to fly as well. Never had any experience with Airbus so my dislike is out of ignorance. My favorites in order: 737-900/ 700/ 300/ 800/ 500.

Neither one of those sort (thank ghawd) Ms. 3-Holer. Not even a Big-Firm 1-Large-Talking-Holer. That's old hat, I do the bleeding-edge dotcommie stuff and always fly solo. Anyway, CAL-Charlie is fer sure righteously cleared-to-destination with the Crashman and his Groupies, he'll take good care of ya. We love all fliers AND babes, and if they're both ... yessssss.... The Crash Groupies are party animals too, check out their base here. (This is an old pic, we've since traded up to a Triple-Seven.) Later on I'll show you how their Ready Room is decorated & send the CALCap's Posse some invites. You take good care with that Froggie ride of yours now, don't be Falcon' around! We don't wanna be seein' you when we make our next duty scene. As the Crash Groupies would say, "We never bust minimums - we bust MAXIMUMS!"

He USED to. Made him an offer he couldn't refuse. We made him throw in that Convair too - the girls use it for a giant hair dryer. (Grrr - shoulda known SkyGal would bust me on that one right quick! )
We just had to get out of the old place; it was WAY too small.

Hey Facon Angel: Taxiing out of LGA this morning at 0655 and pull up right behind a F50 tail N58CL. There's a guy on the radio but I wondered if the captain might be my favorite three holer. I was going to say "Hey Falcon Girl, calcapt pimp here" but the tower controller didn't seem like he was in the mood for silliness so thought better of it. Wouldn't it be a coincidence if the pimp man was on your tail and you never even knew it?
