Ships 6901-4 are these. I flew one of them a few weeks ago.... it's a craphole up front, too. The recircs and wind noise was alot louder than most of the rest of the fleet and everything seemed to be more beat up.

I guess they have been around the block as well as been down to UIO a few too many times.

They are called PSU's officially...not wemacs.
 
I've also rode on one of these oddball Delta 75's without the psu vents/wemacs/gaspers or whatever you prefer to call them. I thought it was weird at the time but forgot about it after the flight. Yes it was hot on that damn thing in PBI. Got my netjet uniform all sweaty back in cattle class.

Let me guess, you don't fly the Ultra or Beechjunk? Guess what? Those are hot too with no APU, and those customers have to deal with the same thing, but at a higher price. Get used to it, and if you have a problem on my 757 while at the gate, and I am not eating, I will cool it off for you.

Now THAT'S great CUSTOMER SERVICE!

-Tooltruck!

I find it quite amusing, these Netjets guys, who still have to airline travel around. They can try to avoid it all they want, and still have to go through TSA and sitting between fat people. Even I don't have to do that........I can sit upfront if I want and there is a heck of a lot more room.

CA1900 was probably an airline flunky who went to NJ when they were begging for pilots back in 2003/2004.

Not even close. They were designed to operate without an APU, and thus have a electric freon system that'll run on either ground power or an engine generator.

...and if you have a problem on my 757 while at the gate, and I am not eating, I will cool it off for you.

Not sure how you'd have done it this morning; the APU was shot and the air cart was hooked up and set to "frosty," but it just wasn't moving much air in the cabin. I blame gophers in the plumbing. ;)

Uhhh... no. I started in '06. 4/10 on the troll-o-meter, but good try. :rolleyes:

Just in cast your not aware, most of us Netjets guys have "medallion status" with Delta. This year I will make GOLD MEDALLION. You may get your seat up front with alot more room as a Non-Rev, however most times I get a revenue seat in FIRST CLASS. YES that's right a seat in first class as a FULL FARE REVENUE PASSENGER, YES Y CLASS TICKETS.

You know it's funny how your railing on Netjets guys, most Delta guys come up to us in the terminal and thank us for our buisness. It's good to know that some guys realize companies like Netjets are the ones that keep them in buisness during slow/rough times.

You better learn who's a$$ needs to be kissed! :rolleyes:

The customer is always RIGHT, B.I.T.C.H.!!!
 
Buddro, Netjets keeps the airlines in business??

Well, I don't see many of you, since I usually do INTL flying away from the US. Wait, you might see me though. You know my 767ER that is up against the glass at the terminal? That is me, the guy in the cool shades, sitting in the right seat with a big smile, waiting to go to Rio or Athens. As far as you being the customer, that is sometimes your choice, and sometimes not your choice, since your company is purchasing the ticket, usually at a bulk rate, even though it is often a walk up fare. It is great that you are a Delta medallion flier. If you don't want to be, then that is your choice. But, to rail on airline pilots about this and that, and then having to fly twice a tour on the airlines, I find it funny. But you bet, if you want me to cool off the plane, I will do it, eventually. And you guys are keeping us in business? Right. You mean your high prices are driving people back to Airline first class? Hey, thanks for that. Two things can happen in a bad economy. Either private jet owners may think their own planes are too expensive, and go to the fractionals, or people at the fractionals think it is too expensive, and reluctantly go back to the Airlines' first class services. If you are talking about the latter, then THANKS.

Be careful!!! Customers that refer to their pilot as B.I.T.C.H., don't usually stay customers for long.
 
Going back to the original subject, Continental Airlines doesn't have eyeball vents in any of their 767s or 777s. Never really understood why but it probably does save weight. It's very frustrating not being able to control your own ventilation on a 10 hour flight.
 
Man, that is one old 757. SIN got rid of the 757's before they got A310's.

Anyone remember the last time they saw a SIN A310?

Those airplanes have to keep the mx guys happy!

BTW, revenue pax (whoever pays for their ticket) are allowed to criticize the service offered. They are not always given a choice of who to fly.

NJA does spend a lot on airline tickets every year and someone who is 'double-rare-metal-member' should be taken seriously. BEEOTCH! ;) TC

P.S.--Too bad GL isn't at AA. With the new gogo internet, he could really jack his post count!
 
You guys are all wrong. A wemac is what the want-to-be engineers at Cessna call a punka-louvre. Yes that's right not a wemac or eyball vent but a punka-louvre.

Cessna Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just incase you didn't know that. The 560XL is the crappiest plane I have flown besides the new 172s.

Mohammed Atta was a full-fare customer.

So was the shoe bomber.

We should do our best to make the cabin comfortable. The question about "wemacs" is legitimate. Your naive assertion is not.
 
I think everybody should know by now CA1900 doesn't post flamebait here...


Someone who used to fly a BE1900 is complaining about a lack of air or being uncomfortable. I bet he never heard that while flying the BE1900........He forgets sooooo soon.

4 PW powered early 90's models. 2 are now ETOPS. No vents sucks but run the cabin a little cooler and people are happy.

The 17 ex TWA/AA 757s are very sweet with new interiors, GPS, winglets, etc.

Don't speak to soon. First DL MD-88 had wifi installed a couple days ago, installation is quick, and the entire fleet should have it by next summer.
