sdm1130 and I had the same comment when we tried out the 739ER at the Do. Hartmann didn't seem to mind the seat so much, but he actually fits in Y. :rolleyes: ;)

739ER is not terrible, but it is more "big front seat" than first class :S

Boeing tour was great - saw DL's newest 772LR and the #2 and #3 787's interestingly enough still in NWA colors.

Ivars, their crab-egg-and-cheese biscuit, so good.

Agreed.

They have to mount the tails already painted for balance issues (I'm sure the guy mentioned that in your tour like they did in mine) so they couldn't really change it out once they got it up on the assembly line. I'm sure that they'll get it repainted very quickly at delivery or even redo it during the painting phase.
I love Ivars. I skipped it tonight, but their food is top notch.

Last flight of the run coming up and it looks like the upgrade luck has finally run out. I'm number 5 on the list and only 2 seats left. :( At least I have an exit row window to curl up in, as well as some Ambien. :D

Yeah, the boy is a bit crazy. I thought he was crazy.

If memory serves me right, he has six hours on the ground that he's just going to spend in the NZ lounge.
