Judging from UA's JPM presentation yesterday the CFO is all over the analysis and seems to be working in synch with the commercial folks. Nice to have competent management for a change.

Specifically the XLR's for the 752's. I think the 753 will stick around longer by 2-3 years. Of course that is probably contingent on how long the 764s stick around as well. I expect EWR will be the last 756 base standing.

Getting rid of any aircraft is never good for the pilot group. But I'd take an old 320 over a new MAX any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

As a longtime boeing pilot, I can’t say I blame you. The frankenguppy(max) has been such an embarrassment for them, and honestly, they should have shut down new variants after the -800’s. Now we’ve got another issue with potential smoke in the cabin/cockpit while dealing with an engine failure. And like MCAS, weren’t even told this is a potential issue. It was only after SWA had a couple incidences that they sheepishly acknowledged the LRD system. Boeing no longer is associated with quality. Sad.

My favorite airplanes after the 777 and 757 it’s the Max-8, it truly does fly great, great handling over all.

I m sure im not the only one that enjoys flying it.

Never liked the 900s though

Frontier 320/1 NEOs have LRD too. Not sure if this is just on B.

Yeah, the -900 is a handful. And the "ER" stands for Entire Runway!! 😜

Not a thing. I enjoy both spots. we actually don’t stay in CID, we go to Iowa City and stay on campus of the U of Iowa.

it was a common line I heard after transitioning from the 320 to 737 fleet

Especially when it's hot...

about a year ago I had a fantastic layover in CID. Great location, and hotel but was a super-shorty and the drive wasn’t exactly quick. Oh well.
