I know A LOT of guys who have had skin leisions removed. Lots of folks that had mild melanoma, and a lot of folks that have it that don't know it.

Yep, only problem is that it comes back, depends on your exposure, I know pilots that have to have it removed once a month, other can go about 6 months. These pilots not only have airline careers, but, also had military careers. Sad part is that they were flying before the dangers of UV rays were known.

And people think I'm crazy for wearing sunblock on days when we'll be at altitude for hours...

Smart move and the hell what people think. When I used to work the ramp in Guam, I used to wear sun block and the other mechanics used to laugh at me as well.
The sun was quite strong in Guam, sun block, long sleeve coveralls & I would still get a sun-tan.

Thought the 600 series went the way of the 717. Because no one was interested in them and thus wasn't buying them.

The 737 line is still open and customers can indeed order a 736. It's not too popular b/c its economics are almost the same as a 737-700 but with fewer seats. In other words the 736 is too heavy, much like the A318.

Forces them to make the A350, an inferior product compared to the 787, which will tie up there resources for the next few years. We want them to get as many orders as possible to force the A350 into production.
