How about a 737 Max Flight deck? Even more glass for our most fastidious to keep clean ....



Love what these engineers are going with the engine instrumentation ... FO's don't need to see them, ever. After all, who starts the engines & shuts them down ....

Before long engineers will have executed every Captain's dream ... to remove the FO's seat and replace it with a magazine rack.

You sure do know a lot of stuff for being " just a line" guy.

Either that, or he reads more than one thread on APC.

This has been a topic for discussion on the Regional side for a while.

The Company is complying with our small jet scope.

Think that's interesting, look at his posts 1 year ago compared to now.

PD--in the long term, I think you are mistaken. Having gained the S&P 500 status will help us secure lower interest rates and better negotiating capital with all lenders. This will enable us to pay down debt more quickly, or reduce our current interest payments (if we negotiate or exchange our current debt for newly-issued debt at lower rates.) Think of it as you moving up your personal credit rating and all that that encompasses--loans, insurance rates, etc. With the company doing better, it is another argument ALPA can use to justify a larger payraise at the next round of negotiations.

I'm not a stockbroker, but I'd guess that our stock gets a bump. With the inclusion onto the 500 list, multiply S&P 500 index fund managers will be required to purchase and hold our stock--all other things being equal.

Looks like a King Air 350 with the Garmin flight deck.
