This thread is in the catch fence..... My plane is better than your plane!!

Can we just go back to airline "unit" measuring??

From a lot of folks who haven't flown any of them

What's the pay? How many days off do I get? Those are the two questions that are relevant. Everything else is airliners.net territory.

I love the 75...awesome jet. But, the way it was explained to me is that the 757 production line was old school in that it required a lot of manual "craftsmanship" that the 737 doesn't require, so it was relatively expensive to produce. Also, due to it's gear length, it requires more ground support equipment than the 73.

All that being said, I'd love to see a 75NG. I dread being bumped down to the 73, but I think it's inevitable.

I'll take a rudder hard over vs. the tail coming off over Jamaica Bay.

Isn't the end result the same??

To me, the Mad Dog does much weirder things more frequently than the bus

There's a cable for that!

Not necessarily.

More like Ford ranger crew cab long bed VS F350 diesel dually.
