I think it's 1608. I talked to a crew in Paris last week that had flown it in from MSP. Pilots said it was great, but the FAs were complaining that their rest area had pretty bad temp control issues.

I am sure that there are errors all of the time. With the size and scope of the operation here, it is inevitable.

Heck I recently few a jet that had a row of seats removed, and better yet, the seat map did not update it in cornerstone. It resulted in passengers being in the seats at departure time with no seats.

1611 has the mod now. It's light years ahead of anything we had. The whole BE cabin is beautiful, the lavs are much improved also. The pilot CRF is fantastic. Better than the condo by far.

The BE seats look nice, but if you're over 5 10, you will hate them. You simply can't recline more than halfway. I don't know what the fix for that will be, since the whole module is the problem. But really, it all just looks so much better.

Default Negotiations Cartoon

Somebody a week or so ago had posted a cartoon version of our upcoming negotiations. It was a self done job with ATIS sounding computer voices; hilarious. I'm trying to describe it to someone but I just sound lame.

Will you please repost it???? I've looked and looked but can't find it.

I don't know about the others but I just flew 1612 and it has the new interior. Looks great! Unfortunately I did not get to try the new crew rest facility as we were a 2 pilot crew but it looks, hands down, better than anything we have had before. Regarding the lay flat seats in business elite, I have to agree that, if full lay flat mode, anyone over 6' is going to find the slot for your feet kind of small.

Agreed on the bus elite seats, had to DH from FRA to ATL, I truly do not think the lie flat are an improvement....they look better, but very unconfortable if you want to recline.

There is a malaise on APC. The regulars are less regular. We all love some underboob and aviation. You've probably seen it, but the frogs make some good flying videos. I actually like the song too:
