It's kind of funny. I have a copy of Sky on my lap and it does say that.

Then why do I always have to fly a crappy CRJ 200 going to BQK if DL owns all these 777's?

Next time I am crammed in an uncomfortable 737-900 I will remember its because DL hides all of these 777's from me. Somebody needed to proofread I think. :P

You know there is a DL exec reading that thinking "spacious interior...hmmm...that means we can sit 10 across and people will still be comfortable!"

The runway at BQK is too short for a 777. So you get a CR2

8k+ feet is plenty for a 777

CR2 is just flown to BQK to torture the rich guy wanna bees heading to Sea Island that cant afford a real Challenger.

Don't the people proofreading this stuff have any common sense or the ability to think about what they're reading?

I did notice that this week. Can a 772 take off from SNA?

It also mentioned 9 across in Y.. When DL does move to 10 (how can they not), will we remember?

Amazing how much righteous indignation people can muster over an inconsequential typo in an disposable in-fight magazine that nobody reads. I wonder how well these people would fare if we had the whole internet following them around as they do their jobs and commenting on every little dumb misstep.

I'm pretty sure it's OK for FT to have a light-hearted thread over a minor typo, from time to time. I don't think I'd describe any of the replies as "righteous indignation". Well, maybe one.
