I heard there were still fights over putting his seat back. Read more

I see that nobody's answered the closing question (what do you do to record which planes you've been on), so I'd like to take the opportunity to direct my fellow aviation geeks to http://www.flightmemory.com/ . Read more

FYI, the tags on the flickr page not only confirm it is JetBlue, but also says "Houston Hobby Airport", so now you have a location as well. Read more

Tim is a good guy and an excellent photographer, not just of airplanes, but pretty much everything. His Flickr album is one jaw dropper after another. Read more

I wish I had some pics, but the coolest story I have is the custom 737 I got to go on back in '02 or so. My mom was a flight attendant for the Cleveland Cavs back when the Gund brothers owned them. The 737 had a $3 million re-fit to seat 28 people (16 in the players area and 12 in the coaches/media area) with a… Read more

maybe she didn't serve the water correctly. Read more

This is why big twins like the 777 and A350 are the future. Quads just aren't economical to operate for most routes. While the A380 is a damn impressive airplane, I have to think Airbus made the wrong call on the future market needs. Read more

Not quite, unless one of those contraptions can make me a gin and tonic. Read more

I wish it was like water bottles, where they give you the option to just finish the whole thing there. LIke perhaps a special smoke it all away room, like the smokers lounges in Atlanta airport. Keeps weed legal, lowers stress, makes sleeping on flights easy, increases sales of snacks in the terminal, also provides… Read more

The stupidity of the average person amazes me. Don't try and sneak weed through federal checkpoints. You won't have a good time. Read more

I've been on one of the newer A321s that was delivered last year. They made a lot of improvements on the plane, but the legroom is still oppressive in economy. Read more

Huge avgeek here. Haven't heard any plans for AA to keep onto their S80s. If anything, since the merger with US Airways is closing, they would get rid of their MD-80 fleet quicker. Combined, US/AA will have too much capacity; US A320s will replace the MD-80.

You might be mistaking AA for Delta.. because DL recently… Read more

For a couple of years now, I have flown exclusively on American when possible. It is a transformed airline from just 5 years ago! Read more

Reminds me of SNL's Loveseat.

I have to say that the A321 Transcontinental is a great flight, provided you fork over enough for business class. It's really, really nice. Read more

According to Korean news, the flight attendant didn't ask first if Cho wanted nuts, and then provided them in a bag instead of on a plate. Cho then demanded to see the service manual, which is accessed via iPad, but the attendant either didn't know or couldn't remember the password. Cho then started screaming and… Read more

I met Miss Cho when I was at Korean Air a couple years back. You could tell she was very proud of the food and service on Korean Air and took their reputation very seriously. So this doesn't really surprise me. Read more
