With crew bunks, a 2nd crew, and only 1 leg...where do I sign up?

The 737-900 aka "Jumbo Guppy"

Did they at least make the wing bigger or do we all just we have to get out of the way of the 737 doing 184 knots on short final?

It's an effin 727 with engines on the wings.........

Actually, the -900 is longer than the first 707's.

I wasn't complaining, just stating it's a lot of tube time.

First let me apologize for being such an airplane nerd. The -900's are a bit over six feet shorter than the first 707-120's in service. It is longer than the 720 and the 367-80, perhaps that's what you were thinking of?
