The Captain referenced in today’s email is included in the 4 I mentioned above. He passed away earlier this week.

What's the connection, 73M delayed so they're selling their 787s? Would we do a fleet of 16? I'm intrigued. I like a good rumor.

network has confirmed that they are not happy with the 350 fuel burn, it's not what airbus advertised.

Wow. It burns pretty damned close to an -ER at cruise. It's faster and heavier too.

First off, why was your instructor answering phone calls during a de brief and second what does Norwegian air have to do with delta and any big announcement.
Sometimes I feel that anytime an airline in the world cancels or defers an order everyone thinks that means delta is going to get them when in reality that almost never happens
