Alaska pre merger had a 24% profit margin flying, surprisingly, an all 737 fleet. Do you know how many companies in the S&P500 turn a 24% profit margin. Wow, I bet those planes must have been empty, there must have been Zero brand loyalty. I am sure the entire flying public must feel exactly the same as you... How many JD powers have we won in a row?

It’s that time of year again. The annual, “the airplane I fly, is way more aerodynamic than the airplane you fly” debate. This argument has nothing to do with which airplane is right for job and is purely based on deep seated bias’ that many from both camps still have. Some folks are still struggling to progress through all 5 stages of grief. 9 out of 10 passengers couldn’t tell you what airplane they’re on and it’s probably the last thing on their mind. Far behind, cost of the ticket, are we on time, why won’t that baby be quiet, Jesus who keeps farting, why does this MFer next to me think it’s o.k. To take his shoes off and put his nasty GD socks up next to me? Both the Airbus and the Boeing are capable airplanes and I hope we get many more of both. The only real concern any of us should have is that there are more Boeing’s and Airbus’ than there are 175’s.

That's the threat to the pilot group. Ejets are not "regional jets." Not when you can fly a full load of passengers over 4 hours gate to gate.

Just wait tell February, the crying, I can already hear. I still know guys who can’t let go of the 200 and the MD80. The BUS is G-O-N-E. Let go who cares, worry about PAY!
Yup your Cockpit is enormous
Yup your extra 8 inches is awesome
Oh your extra inch, oh yeah I feel that.
Oh your bathroom, I twirl around like a ballerina.
Who cares, what does it PAY!
Airbus “follow the leader”
If it’s not Boeing “I am not going” I just don’t care, there both just NB jets but in 2020 I better be making at least $285 an hour to fly one of them!
