Don't forget that the folks in First are paying more, however...true, that brings a -700 down to 66 seats, but they are still paying that premium.

Yeah its the total amount. You proved my point though about the 50 seater not being as terrible as people think.
This isn't too accurate, but close enough to prove the point why the 50 seater can't die. The Speeds aren't too different, but you can see that even with 70 passengers on board it still is the same if not more per passenger. If the market can only sustain a 50 seater than a 70 seater would lose a ton more money.

If this is true when will they begin interviewing again and when would one expect a class date? I know a couple of guys that interviewed in Nov. and Dec. 07 and were told to expect a class date in April. They havn't heard a thing from HR since.

What class date you will get is completely up the Training department. If they call you with a class date, and you want something earlier, tell them nicely that you are available for an earlier one. Be ready because they might call you a week before the class date, though not likely.

It's a shame that joke went RIGHT over your head. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, but the last time I flew, the gages on the EICAS displayed fuel in POUNDS PER HOUR, not GALLONS PER HOUR. Using the assumed fuel density out of our CFM, calculate 2500 gallons into pounds. It's MORE than the XR can even hold. Also, like I said, I'm not the sharpest tack. But at 370 I don't usually see 460 TAS, it's usually around 440-445. If you want to see something like 460, you usually have to be around FL280/290. Fly the XR's much? You'd see it if you did. |

But I'm on the west coast. ALL we fly is 135 EP's. But if I WAS flying the XR, I'd ask you this, are you flying at the flight planned .78, or all the way at the barber pole? .79-80 MIGHT yield something CLOSE to 450. There has been more than ONE time I have been in an XR, TL's in the detent, .76-.77 is ALL the thing will do. Do the math, 460 at 370 is not REALLY what you will come up with. |

That's funny. After I read your post, I'd ask the same of you.

Well, you are the one that said we burn 2500 GALLONS per hour. Are YOU serious? It's a freaking joke, relax. ANOTHER stab at humor went right over your head, AGAIN. |

True or false.....those of us who fly 50 seaters will be out of a job in the near future? (unless our airline gets more larger a/c)
