Just checked the Crystal Ball.....your flight is now just full/not over/not under. Don't think a bump is coming but you never know.

Ok, I will give in and figure that thing out.:D

Nice. I'll make a point of heading up there next weekend.

:confused:

The density doesn't change; it is just more pax on the plane and longer legs IIRC. They add length to accommodate those extra passengers. Sure, it is still 9 abreast and that sucks, but I'm surprised that the higher capacity isn't appealing. Then again, they seem to be positioning the 350s as the 777 equivalent and that would be about the same size as the 787-9 so I guess that's why UA is skipping it.

Why did both carriers start numbering these news series planes at the top instead of with 1 or 100? Not a lot of room to grow the product line without sounding like idiots.

Those without FlightMemories will have to sit at the designated :rolleyes: table for the AUS DO. :-:

Do OpenFlights pages count? :p

Yes. I wish FM would offer a larger, more zoomable map (in its current style).

I've wondered the same. And, why did they throw in a random 787-3 (which is, interestingly, the longest of the three)? :confused:

I'll print my FM out :D

Oh well. The PDA site shows two empty middles and I missed the upgrade by two as of now. There are a lot of paired names on the upgrade list, so there's always hope for that too. Gonna go put my layover to good use by doing homework and calling OPSC about my missing miles.

How would one get that job?

From the boeing stats, the 787-8 holds 210-250 people while the 787-9 holds 250-290.

I suspect it has a lot to do with the amount of competition all over the place. Back when UA bought their 744s, the number of flights to Asia was likely half of what it is today. Between them and NW, they had a pretty lucrative trans-pac route before the 90s auctions of NRT slots.

Opting for the larger version requires to carry that much more fuel on the premise you may or may not fill the seats. This reduces the exposure and really the people they will likely lose are the ones paying the smallest amount anyways, not likely worth it.

Hey, don't forget, there is a 787-3 though I don't think anyone has bought that. Reminds me of the 757s. They never did release a 757-100, though I suspect that would have been a fun bird.

Work for yourself.

After years of doing it in his spare time, his then gf, now wife, encouraged him to quit and do it full time. And he has managed to do well. He's got two studios in Long Island City, 15 assistants, just released a children's book and I barely see him now. :)

About the only thing that lures him out these days is a visit to Corner Bistro or White Horse.

It does take a lot of patience and I know he's had a lot of sleepless nights trying to meet deadlines.

avis trying to screw me, NOT POSSIBLE to succeed.

I'd even come out for that. I love that place.

One of my friends from DC won a competition and spent a period of time working at LegoLand.
