re: Have we discussed the new economy class seats?

connect from Birmingham to anywhere on Delta, and 80% of the time it is through Atlanta - 22 mins typically wheels up to wheels down.

Shreveport to Dallas was the same flight. Had to either do that on american or through Memphis or Atlanta on Delta. The Dallas flight is an hour, hour fifteen from gate to gate.

Eventually it'll just be this:

been that way for awhile, actually started before deregulation, Pan Am had some of their 727-100s cattle car configured with around 170 seats, JAL had some 747s with 650 seats in them, the 727-100s we operated had 118 seats, the 747s just under 300

How are the FedEx planes? Are the boxes packed in super tight?

Just asking in case one day the thought of mailing myself to my destination starts to make a little more sense.

Why don't we all just fricking stand like they do on subway cars.

flying time in a 727 was 32 minutes, still close to that in the RJ

Yeah 30-40 flight time.

Haven't had anything but RJs since the remodel I think. I've been gone for awhile though.

it's been all Eagle since the early 90s

I thought I remembered bigger jets in the 90s in the old terminal.

I had to take a shite on the plane yesterday and have no idea how fat people fit in those bathrooms

Yeah I remember those.

Thank God I only flew this once.

I always liked the RJ with 3 seats. Flying alone and grabbing the lone seat was great.

It would honestly be more comfortable to stand...and probably just as safe
