Oh yea? Try fitting your roll aboard in the overhead of F/C row 1 or 2. Not happening unless it is sideways.
But yes, the rest of the tube is the same diameter,.
So, where is this 2 million dollars savings... (doubtful)
Must be from the crappy, noisy, hot/cold cramped 3/4 707 cockpit design huh. Too bad pilot ergonomics come so low on some peoples priority list.

It's not "my beloved" airplane. I'm not a fan from a pilot perspective...but the airplane makes money and will be here awhile, whether you like it or not. Countless other airlines have come to the same conclusion.
I can call it a "37" if "73" hurts you legacy-sensitive types....

I'm just kind of curious at what price per barrel was that two million figure based upon? I guess from recent events that cap ex much be a real deal breaker, money maker or not. Onwards and upwards they say.

Well there's size, and then there's performance. And lastly other, more modern airframes to choose from. But then again, I drive a slow 31 year old car.
Besides it's a slow news day. Guppy bashing is fun!

I wrote that the 50 yr old guppy is a crappy crappy place to sit for hours and you, you temper-tantrum kiddo, post that guppy and 757 have same fuselage diameter. big whoop. that in no way counters my point.
others already blasted your unsubstantiated $2 mil a yr figure. (I'm betting you're one of the lcal guys who thinks you're saving the hedge funds two mil by keeping us all hot and sweaty during boarding- when you're only actually savin a mere forty bucks)
have a good one, y'all....
