Building an airplane is now (and has been since the 90s) a process based on an unrealistic timeline, purposefully unrealistic, and then sticking to it. It is absurd, everyone knows it, but they believe that they have to work a schedule that is -by design-impossible. It borders on doublethink from Orwells 1984. Nothingmakes sense with these clowns anymore. Doesnt matter which manufacturer it is.
Well then they were behind the times. Beech Aircraft (Starship 2000 for instance) pioneered that particular scheduling M.O. since the late 80's and everyone else in Wichita was on the same page. Those flinty Northwesterners, trying to be all realistic. They were being silly really.You are going to have to move that date out a bit. The 777 certified on the day that it had been scheduled on (May 1995) four years earlier, with the very first dual FAA / EASA cert, and ETOPS out of the box. It was expensive, and Boeing swore then that it would never happen again. And it never has. Every single thing they have touched since that time has been late, problematic, and ultimately over budget. But they saved money up front.
It's just a matter of time before Embraer jumps in to this market. Brush up on your Portuguese.
Ummmm... no. YOU snapped a fresh picture of one of the first Delta 739ER's and posted it in a thread you can do the same here.
Dude, don't roofie me, and call it romance!
I got night exposures from the ramp tower of the -900 doing a DTW turn here on its first day of rev service. I'll PM you the link when I edit them if you want.Ummmm... no. YOU snapped a fresh picture of one of the first Delta 739ER's and posted it in a thread you can do the same here.

I was on the 1130 flight Monday morning out of SFO going to DTW. I must say I like the overhead bins. After that it's a really long 737 or a 757 same tube.I got night exposures from the ramp tower of the -900 doing a DTW turn here on its first day of rev service.

Did you see the pictures? At least it was in good company. If it was with DV or someone like that I would be in MSP at a meeting.And I'm sure it was totally worth what you had to do to get into position for that flight.
From the outside, the lights look more sharp, cabin lights looked nice thru the windows, guessing it has the Sky interior.I was on the 1130 flight Monday morning out of SFO going to DTW. I must say I like the overhead bins. After that it's a really long 737 or a 757 same tube.
Yea. The seat back screens were huge too! I was more upset about the no gogo option. I know, 1% problems.From the outside, the lights look more sharp, cabin lights looked nice thru the windows, guessing it has the Sky interior.
Not having to jam a fully loaded Stealth into the bin is nice!amorris311 said:I was on the 1130 flight Monday morning out of SFO going to DTW. I must say I like the overhead bins. After that it's a really long 737 or a 757 same tube.
I wish Boeing would get their shizzle together. Those French guys sure build a nice aircraft.
