Delta is leading the charge apparently! Part of the reason for slow adoption is the relatively cheap cost of fuel in the US. Causes companies to hold onto the old heavy drinking birds. ;-{)

Yeah agree, love the '57 but Boeing simply did not look past the end of its nose or around the corner at the time the '57 was canned. Guess the '37 was just more profitable on a frame by frame basis and they made a decision for that time and not for the future. Guess they just tried to milk the 737 frame too long - the 900 is a glaring example of too much stretch I think. BUT the was not taking the 37 over the 57 but more so on Boeing being slack on the job and losing sight of what QA is all about. Whether the '37 or '57 frame was chosen, the lax QA would have applied to both. It seems to be systemic and quite possibly based on stock price and not much else. Hate to say it guys but aviation is not about engineering,,,,, its about money. Who is the #1 customer of Boeing and any manufacturer for that fact? Certainly not the flying public, certainly not the airlines. It is the stockholder. Full stop.

BUT , , , success is measured by bums in seats. If pax shy away based on Boeing's problem with QA, then the beancounters will change their color. After all, there is competition. Example could be Jet Blue who is, I am certain, enjoying the scheduling havoc caused by gaps in the competitions fleets due to MAX groundings.

This is not news. It was a bully move by Boeing (pulling jobs from Canada) with the assistance of Trump. That skunk could be smelled a mile away and Boeing was clearly outplayed by Airbus in snagging the C-Series/A-220. Now Boeing is forced to dance with Embraer which has nothing new to compare to the A-220. Stupid, stupid, move.

What? Makes no difference other than the amount of time in jail if not registered. Even if registered, what he did was straight out, criminal. He concealed the gun on an international flight. Full stop. He clearly does not have the intelligence to possess a registered firearm. Or is common sense not on the list of criteria?

Well good for you. However, the universe does not circle around you and most people would not actually care if it did. Sir, there is a manner to conduct oneself in a way that includes simple respect for others. We may not agree with others but respect should remain for your opponent. I learned a long time ago that it is most likely better to think before speaking. And that is it for me as you have taken us far from the subject at hand.

Chill out man. No reason to go there. No reason.

Indeed. You have to staff an airline and the staff would have to live in YVR and environs. Not, and far from it, the type of city you can attract employees at the lower wages a start-up requires. Hamilton, which was their initial base which a different story. Just does not smell right.

Think RyanAir / easyJet where everything is an extra charge including water. Apparently, RyanAir and some other ULCCs have championed the feasibility of having "vertical seating" (ie: standing passengers) for flights. Not to mention the new insanity of seating in the lower deck (ie: what was baggage) https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelgoldstein/2018/04/18/will-future-airline-passengers-fly-standing-up-or-sleep-in-the-baggage-compartment/#3063412b6cab
