CAL's Brand Spankin' New Boeing(s)

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?

OK. Now that right there was the funniest post on this thread.

So what's the deal with the 4 or 8 new 777s? If they are coming in 2008 I would assume they would have to announce something soon. I heard they were from Singapore or Alitalia and 4 of them might be 300s.

You guys need to quit yer bitchin' about flying 5 hour legs in a 737...

I had a 7.1 hour day yesterday... :bawling:

Aproach speeds in the 150's is normal in a Kc135 so stop your bitchin. Just fly it like you do any other day.

Try 12.1 hours in a day flying 6 legs on the hopper. It's only 16 hours of duty though....if you're lucky.

Try on a 16.6 to Hong Kong someday... whew!

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

The 737-900 aka "Jumbo Guppy"

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.
