I thought the 757/767 production line were shut down. What do you say we get Boeing to cut some holes in the sides, call them windows for the passengers, then order a bunch?

I'm just sayin'......

757 line was shut down. Boeing is still delivering 767s. Remember all the Air Force Tanker talk? It's a 767-200.

2024 from what Kelly said, but it sounded like Kelly would happily get out of them is Beoing was helpful.... Which if a customer ordered that many new jets, they just might be.

Re: LGA expansion dupe

One of the guys on the DALPA forum suggested taking out a full page ad in the NYT calling the company out on their huge "expansion" in LGA and advising the public that Delta really isn't flying all of that new service, it's an outsourced RJ. I think it is an excellent idea, and time to show the company that this DCI cr@p won't be tolerated anymore.

I had a blast on the tune, identify, monitor world of the dc-9 for 3 years. Besides, it's not the prospect of flying analog for a few years that's going to scare guys off. It's the lousy pay and scope induced stagnation that will.
