This could age spectacularly badly. Maybe just wait until after the New Year and see if General Lee's "inside baseball" is accurate? He's not the one who has been spreading rumors for the last 12-18 months.

Don't get slow. Easy answer. In all seriousness, you can blame Boeing all you want, and imho they have done plenty of idiotic things in the past 15 years or so, but it is what it is. And have you watched some of the larger airplanes taking off? It's really shocking how close the tail (body) of most airplanes get when they rotate.
