Agreed Nosmo, there's actually less room in the 73 cockpit with the airside bags then there used to be when we were packing our kits. That being said, I just vacuum seal myself and it seems to work out.

Have they been approved for inflight use by the fuzz?

REROUTE MESSAGES????? YGTBFKM. I hate turning on my freaking cell phone, now I am gonna be welded to a company iPad? No freaking thank you.

I know it is probably in this thread a thousand pages back so forgive me for asking....... When do the guys that signed up for the early retirement/buy out in July have to actually retire or can they just keep extending month to month?

Thanks

Yup, AA is doing a trial on the 777.
They are approved for iPad use below 10,000 ft using the Jepps app for primary chart reference...

With the arrival of 737-900ER's that can hold the equivalent of a domestic 757; does this make anyone else think that the 7ER category will return to its more traditional role of international flying while the 73N category will take over a lot of that domestic flying that has annoyed the vast majority of ER pilots of late?

The list is on the Flight Ops webpage.
They're all gone by Jan 1.

Considering it will take 6 years to deliver these airplanes after they stqrt arriving 2 years from now, that is pretty hard to speculate on right now.

The record is for the 757, not your DC-10 or the 747, both of which has hauled a LOT more out of those areas.
