United 787 question
 

Couple questions:

What seating configuration do you guys have on the -8?

What kind of range does it really have fully loaded?

Can you feel a difference with humidity & pressure? Or is that just a marketing tool?

Any nuances with it?

Thanks

Oh, and what kinds of fuel burns are you seeing at TOC with a full load?

Can only answer first and last questions.

Scab on the left.
Scabs.

Right now almost everyone on here's placing you on the same level a scab, if not a rung lower. Real classy.

Now do what you do best in 3 -2 -1 ........

You won't ever fly one Pelican. You'll be fenced off widebodies when Delta buys Alaska.

Do they actually allow to operate anything above the turd hearse?:mad:. Geeze junior it's time to put your time to better use... perhaps making a bigger cake of soap from two smaller ones?:rolleyes:

Great info...thanx.


Rocky - That sounds about like the same fence I'll face staying here independently...hmmm...i'm ok with that. Enjoy your Beijing layovers and I'll enjoy my Kona 2-days. Cheers good buddy.

Nuances? Yes. Called a 787 by Boeing, currently referred to as the Scabliner.

Care to elaborate Krudawg? I haven't heard this reference before, but then again, I'm an outsider.

Scabliner= a 787 in United paint job quite often captained by a L-CAL '83-85 hire (see 'scab')

- often used by L-UAL hires with disgust as explanation for why they will never bid it
- said UAL hire cannot bid due to UAL ALPA seeking to shelter 747-400 (see 'only plane that counts no matter what!') from intrusion by CAL pilots
