How about them outfitting it with some FAs who are neither disinterested nor seriously inexperienced? I presume that when they are putting in new seats, they will actually repair all the panels that are currently being held together with duct tape.

You mean like Alabama or Mississippi?

CO needs to make better use of space on its 752. Maybe they can rearrange the galley and closet around Door 2?

In the main cabin section, CO is only be able to put 159 Y seats there. UA currently have 50 Y+ and 108Y, and will add 4 more seats. DL/NW has 162. AA has 166.

All with an industry-trailing 31" pitch.

I'm willing to bet that CO doesn't mind keeping the capacity where it is for weight reasons on the longer Europe runs. Plus, CO needs the galleys operational so they can serve the full meals on those flights. DL and UA use the planes on domestic routes where they just load a BoB cart and don't need ovens or anything like that.

Lots of luck with that. Check your computer, you iPod, your cell phone, DVD player, TV, most of the plumbing fixtures or electrical switches in any home built in the last 10 years, light bulbs, knock down furniture, most books.....


I think there was subtle sarcasm there. Enjoy Lost!

I feel like making a short film to post on YouTube. I'm lacking an idea, a script and cast.

I'll post that. But the place is still worth a visit either way.
