That aircraft last flew on 1/22 - exactly one month ago - and hasn't flown since.

Where are the official CO pictures?

Where are the event pictures taken by Continental's photographers?

On the Chelsea tour, while we weren't allowed to take our own pictures, a CO photographer did follow-us around and snap away. The guides told us that pictures would be available after the 'Do --but where are they?

That's strange. At DO III we had no restrictions on taking pictures on the Chelsea tour. I have a ton of them. Perhaps I should post them here.

Maybe in the next inflight magazine or perhaps they will post them to the employee quarterly magazine. Or you might not see them at all due to the pilot's concerns.

Small Fortune

[QUOTE=pptp;11301529]Great pictures of what I assume was a "D" check on the 757. When I think about how much goes into keeping an aircraft flying safely, I wonder how airlines have ever made money.QUOTE]

Like the old saying goes "You know how to make a small fortune? Take a large fortune and start an airline, you'll have a small fortune in not time"

Great pictues indeed. Gives a fine perspective of things that most passengers will never get to see, and the lareg amount that goes on "in the background"

Having talked to one of the photographers they were there shooting for the employee quarterly magazine. With the things that have come up since the DO, who even knows about that now. It would be ashame if the party flight photo never got published. It was a good photo.

Great photos rkkwan

I finally got all my photos posted here and here (same collection, one on flickr and the other on SmugMug). In addition to the photos I took there are a few in there from other FTers, including some video of the inflight training tour evacuation bits and smoke-filled cabin. Those are only on the SmugMug link (first one) as apparently I don't have the bandwidth available in my flickr account.
