It's like saying "irregardless" which is the improper use of the word "regardless" Who'da thunk it :-0

Oh, and thanks for the information about "Sparky" coming to "frisco"; wherever that is

Shouldn't San Fran change the name so not to offend the non Christian and Atheist crybabies.

I don't believe that they are parking any 747's until the A350 arrives.

That's a great point! How about Nirvana or HomelessLandia. You know it's a "Sanctuary city" for undocumented world citizens - seriously, it was in the paper and on the news

Funny we were told in 2010 that they were to be imminently parked, and it still hasn't happened. Just like the Airbus fleet was going to be parked and UAL just spent $500M to extend the life to 2024.

I hope you're right, but for sake of discussion and a point of clarification, here are the delivery dates by ship #

Actually most of the 777s on the property are older than the newest 747s.
