I thought the 727-100 was the best flying airlplane that Boeing ever built. Handles like a fighter, cruises effortlessly at .87 and lands like a light twin with a greaser every time. But I hate to say it but the 737 NGs are in the same category as the Airbus with all of the composites being used. Even picking up a brand spanking one from the factory is quite a disappointment compared to the planes fresh from the factory I picked up 10 years ago.

Anyone have the gouge on EOS interviews? Looking for some info before I go see them.

You obviously had better luck with the 727-100s than I did! I personally preferred the 727-Adv, although the -100 was a little more "nimble".

I was a F/O, and I once landed a 727-100 in SBA one morning so bad, that when I opened the cockpit door (after all the people were off), the head F/A was standing just outside of it with her panyhose down to her ankles. Capt and S/O were laughing very hard! Those bums! :o :o

EOS expansion?
 
Anyone from EOS have any info about expansion to other European destinations?

You obviously never flew fighters!

True... Wrong to compare. I flew the little L-39, the Fuqua, and an old Provost which was an old British trainer jet. So as not to insult the old labido of fighter pilots, I won't say the 727 flies like a fighter. Better?

While all you fighter-jock-wanna-bes discuss the size of your jet, how about we get back to the topic. I too am looking for info on the EOS interview and any future expansion plans.
