I think EG & G has the only -600s flying in the US.

Westjet operates the 737-600 into the United States.

11 years old? SWA could get another 10-15 easy out of it, flaps and all.

They were lucky they had the opportunity to "write it off" and scrap it...

But it's The "NG" version of the 500 and I know two airlines that would love to get rid of 49 500's if someone would take them...Nobody wants an airplane that holds 122 (or so) people and all other costs are the same as one that holds 137 (or so) or more.

I'm sure the fact that they are probably paid for helps, Otherwise they'd be returned to the lessor and scraped just like the previously mentioned above!

If they were classifieds as RJ's and someone's scope allowed it, I'm sure we'd have guys lined up out the door to fly it for nothing!

I should have said based in the US.

Boeing products are not what they used to be

On the worst day they beat the hell out of anything Airbus makes. That airplane is a flying toilet.

As someone who lives directly under the RWY 19 departure path at LAS, I'm grateful every day they FINALLY replaced their fossilized 73's with something from remotely close to 21st century technology.

Actually, they are EXACTLY what they used to be, that's the problem! Is that a 707 cockpit, or 737-900ER? Well, it only has two thrust levers, so it must be the 900...... It's really hard to tell.

 

[GuppyWN]

You mean they fixed the one American ran off the runway and broke into three pieces?

That's some dark humor, bro! But I laughed.

Ah, quit whining.....
