Any World guys hear anything or have any experiences on the new 744s? I think I saw one at JFK a few days ago and it looked nice. Do you have 2 of them now, and are they on specific runs?

Just one on line, the other is in conversion at the moment. The guys I know on it like flying them. They have had the usual teething problems when a new airframe is introduced.

At the moment the one that is online is contracted to Lufthansa flying FRA-DKR-VCP-CWB-FRA.

It seems that there is plenty of work as we heard that 3 different airlines all wanted the aircraft on contract.
 
Uh-oh, the General's thinking about flying something new!


I heard NWA 744 time may be "drifting" towards ATL eventually.....:)

I like it so far. Just finished IOE 10 days ago. My only complaint is the noise level in the cockpit at cruise. The MD-11 is much quieter.
