And the max isn’t bad to fly at all . I will admit Boeing could have made the flight deck bigger,better over the years and added Eicas .
Enjoy your 34 hour overnight in Grand Rapids on the bus , I’m headed to Aruba for a 30 hour overnight 😂😂😂

34 hours in GRR, where do I sign up?

I’d much rather do a 30 hr overnight in GRR than Guatemala City or San Pedro Sula, hands down.

Yep, I can drive home, drive back, and still have 28 hours in my own house.

30hrs in GUA sounds awesome, get a driver to take you to Antigua for the day.

I follow Core4 and ensure the APU is running during boarding if the ground air isn't working or set correctly....which is about 95% of the time.

I see plenty of Guppy’s in GRR or DSM etc. not everyone gets to the warm weather layovers.
