Not this crap again. Can't we get to a point where we go to work, do our job go home, enjoy family, drink beer, collect paycheck, and rinse and repeat? The "your planes are inferior to ours" stuff got old real quick. Clue: All our airplanes are belong to us now!

Half of my "crossings" were from down under or Asia. And, I think most of us pilots that actually fly those routes consider them crossings. I didn't bother adding the 600 plus North Atlantic "crossings" in the last 30 years. Not once did I land in Goose and pi$$ off 200 customers because of an old POS B767-300 started shacking. Really?
Rant over.

...and all of "OUR" 737's are an inferior product in an overwater market. UA jumped into the HI market with 737's because they're cheap, not because it's a better product.
True, but what ocean does that route "cross"?

With over 3300 ocean crossings to and from Hawaii in every type of airplane that flies there, I must say I feel more safe and comfortable in a B737NG than those POS tired UAL B747-400, B-777 cattle cars, and B757 beer cans that have a problem getting off the f'ing gate. A working entertainment system sure is nice on a 5 hour flight.

My opinion is a "nonsense rant"? Wow! Do you ever read your own posts?
