Picture of one of Delta's new 777LR's getting ready for the paint shop

They looked a WHOLE lot better in TWA's final livery, IMO.

Damn, John, you beat me to the keyboard.

I agree.....TWA's last paint scheme was one of the nicest looking in the industry, especially with that blue globe.

One note of interest, currently the 777 Captain pay at Delta is aproximately $30/hr more than the NWA 787 and $13/hr more than an NWA 747-400.

Another note of interest is that Hughes AirWest went on to be part of Republic, AKA NWA. Their memory lives on with every DC-9-50 that keeps flying, which all of them are.

West Coast, Pacific and Bonanza merged to form Airwest. Airwest became Hughes Airwest. Hughes Airwest merged with Republic. Republic merged with Northwest (this was the UGLY merger). Through it all the DC9's survived.

It's sad, actually. Every time I see one go by, it's like looking at a ghost. :erm:

TWA had some -50's, ex-EAL birds. I thought we traded them to NWA for the few MD-80's NWA had. Anyone know for sure?

You probably see a lot of planes go by--you fly an ATR-72.

I disagree with you, all of the DC-9-50 are not from the Republic merger (North Central Airlines). Some are Eastern Airlines birds, and I think there are a few SAS birds too.

And as usual, all The General can do is make fun of a fellow pilot because his airplane is smaller. Oh, that and cut & paste while hiding in his hotel room in AMS.

Was it a cut down or an actual fact? Probably both. And, I don't hide in my hotel room anywhere, I actually get out and get great food, and see the sights I want to see. I enjoy my layovers.

LOL funny :nuts: :laugh: :nuts: :laugh:

General - don't knock the tupperware death tube until you fly it. Stainless steel shanked high density beer coolers with kevlar wrappers are a cool way to motivate an airplane.
