Southernjets 787

7ERA to the 78A.

Is that related to a green slip?

Interesting, when we talked to Gupta and Kirby a couple of years ago in CA Charm School they were raving about the -9.

Like the article said, the 777 crunch must be making look in other directions.

There are still plenty (85) of orders by United for the 787-9 out there....

Green, mostly white slips. Sometimes a silver slip. Miss ya buddy.

I flew a repo once out of BFI that resulted in an air turn back (it’s a funny offline story), and I asked the Captain if he’d like me to return the aircraft to the manufacturer or if he’d like me to land it where my car was (SeaTac). As a bonus we had mechanics in SeaTac.

This last trip I had a day where I was supposed to fly Abu Dhabi to Amsterdam, then drive to Liege. Well apparently Amsterdam can't handle snow, so we ended up diverting to Liege. Saved me from a 3 hour drive.

Aforementioned trip was a green slip that started with a deadhead to from LA to SeaTac and a layover too. I was gone for 7 whole hours.

Every once in a while it REALLY works, etc.

This is a VERY important part of the divert decision

I had princess parked too.

Ugh it was so cool. I’m glad I’m done commuting in a bit.

One day we'll need DEN for a divert coming to SLC from Euroland. It'll be magical.

When I used to commute from San Fran to Dayton, the preferred routing was SFO-CVG-DAY (when Delta and Comair still had a real CVG operation). I lucked out I think 3 times where CVG went down for thunderstorms and we ended up in Dayton instead, saving me the extra flight or the rental car and 90 minute drive.

Of course for every one of those there was at least one case where we ended up on CVG on my SFO-CLT-DAY commute (once Comair shut down) and I had to do the drive anyway.

“If you divert to there, I will kill you”; or however that one went.

Question...

Does the uniform hat get in the way of the HUD?
