Kidney stone meet KeroseneSnorter.:bomb:

OK, OK, That would be on an Eastbound Crossing when 750 miles is about an hour and 30 to 45.......coming west the first whizz is about 500 miles!!........unless there is lots of coffee involved.....then the first one is about 80 miles from takeoff!!!

I have a friend out with a kidney stone. He said the incidence of kidney stones at his airline is way up. It's the cockpit shuffle that's getting us.

Yeah that was a pain, I don't have that problem anymore hauling trash. We normally take a stroll around the hump about once an hour to stretch and hit the head.....rummage though the catering......decide it's all too fattening......grab a water then head back up front.

I do not miss hauling people one bit.

I guess we can add Kidney stones to the rap sheet of airline pilot ailments now, along with hemmoroids and the rest of the crap that comes with being paid to sit on your butt!!

Thankfully I haven't had the roid problem yet!!

How much an hour does the -300 burn? Where are the aircraft being painted? Winglets for the -300s, or phase out? Is there still a possibility of the Embraer 190, or did that idea die a long time ago?

 

[KeroseneSnorter]

The 73-200 burns 6000 lbs an hour, if memory serves the 300 burns about 4500 lbs an hour. The 73 was about 4 airplanes ago for me so the numbers are getting fuzzy. I still remember the 200 because it was 100 pounds a minute.....used to be easy to figure out burns on the old ones...If it had JT8D's on it, it was 3000 lbs an hour times the number of engines mounted on the thing!

Great question, we'll know when the -300 start gettin long horns or we start parkin'em.
Is there still a possibility of the Embraer 190, or did that idea die a long time ago?

I think the 190 is dead until they either start given 'em away or jet fuel gets WAY cheaper. It really is a numers game, so if and when the numbers add up, we'll get the E190. Same applies for any other hardware questions. PPL used to ask when we were getting winglets (on the -700)... seemed like never, then jet fuel got expensive and winglets got cheap - BAM!

It seems to me that the 190 CASM is going to be even more fuel sensitive than the 737. It would take something REALLY amazing for us to drop the competetive advantage the a single type gives us. I almost think a 787 is more likely than a 190.

In the end us line swine don't no any better then the guy on the street. What I really want to know is when are we gettin EFBs? You'd think the cost of paper products and OJI for heavy bags would offset the startup cost ... but I guess if it did we'd have it by now.

-Planes are being painted in Roswell, NM.

-300's *may* get winglets, some *may* get reskinned to increase lifespan. The oldest likely are not going to get any of that and will be phased out.

- i think the 190 is dead, haven't heard a peep in the last year and just can't imagine it would ever happen unless the balance sheets aligned in some magic code.

 

[Cheesemo]

Paint

Actually, planes are being painted in three places: by Boeing in WA, and two independents, one in Iberia, LA, and one in San Antonio.

-300 winglets are probably dead, same with the flap mod. Neither provided the fuel relief to warrant the cost.

I heard first -300 retirement was sometime in '08, but it's a very flexible date.

Cheers

 

[check6]

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong. Assuming Jet A is 6.7 lbs/gallon, than a -700 burns 4,824 lbs/hour. If the -300 burns about 4500 lbs/hour, then. . . . .ya see what I'm sayin'? Maybe it's too early in the morning. Kerosenesnorter, I'm guessing the numbers are fuzzy.

But, I appreciate the answers. I remember seeing the article about the -190 a while back, wasn't sure what came of it.
