Pretty.

But I have a question. How come I haven't seen a similar beautiful picture of the MD-88 as it taxied by heaven? Not one jet way has a MD-88? I only see 747s, 737s and E-175s... and I think 777 engines.

It's like they are ashamed of us? Bar? Thoughts? Hanging curveball? You up for it?

FTB, maybe you're looking the wrong direction for MD sightings? Look more downward than upward.

This may not be exactly what you were looking for but I took the final SLI and broke it down A vs B.

11,519 Total pilots
5353 A
6166 B

Is that active pilots? When the ISL was released I remember being 12,300 out of 12,434.

That's the seniority list which would be equivalent to the 12,434. Although the number was recently 11,774.

The actual pilots flying the line I believe is in the mid 10,500ish range.

want. It's like an ME 262 with club seating and no tendency to explode! Seriously, very cool plane. I wonder what the range is like? That'd be a great toy. Loved flying the Death Star!
