“It doesn’t get any cooler than this,” Smisek said today as he posed for photos and signed autographs at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport...

Autographs? Somebody actually wanted Smisek's autograph? WTF? :laugh:

Fire Smallsack, Abbott, Attarian, McDonald, and Tilton.

"We are the world’s largest airline, but we don’t care about that,” he said. “We want to become the world’s leading airline.”

That is terrifying statement in SO many ways. Keep it in mind when ALPA dumps DAL scope for the sheep to BAH at in a few weeks.

I bet both pilots were 64 "and a half".

Hope it was worth it.

Here's an interesting review of the inaugural flight:

"...What's it like to fly on Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner? The folks can tell you..."

1. When it's delayed or canceled because of weather, it's gonna suck.

2. When it's delayed or canceled because of crew rest, it's gonna suck.

3. When it's delayed or canceled because it breaks, it's gonna suck.

When you're irritated with all of the above, along with crappy customer service, it's gonna suck...

JUST like every other fleet in the system.

Someone hanging the future on a fleet is like a liberal holding on to this hope and change crapola! IMHO

Just sayin'

I read one review that said Jeffy was sitting in E+ reading (hiding behind) the newspaper when people boarding. He had the chance to "personally great every passenger on that airplane..." Wonder if he took it?
