PEOPLE airline did transcons with 747s - back a long time ago. Didn't last long. They eventually got bought by Continental - who discontinued that practice. Although, United does now run 757s on an almost hourly basis between EWR and SFO.

Couldn't agree more - the 175 is a great aircraft. And of the widebody aircraft the 767 (with the 2-3-2) is the best. The new 777 (3-4-3) is terrible and on the low end, the 200, 135, 145 are terrible.

My favorite Onion airline story was about cabin pressurization only being free for first class, and that economy had to pay extra if they wanted air. The same article mentioned that some airlines were going to stop using the wheels for landings on flights less than 1 hour. It was hilarious.
