I promise you that one was meant as a gentle jibe – and I’m surprised it upset anyone – but to those it did I apologise.
For clarity I think pilots are just as important as the rest of us in aviation – without them we’d be wasting our time and without us they’d have nothing to do.
Beechbum (got it right this time
) – if I get any info I will post it (if 4HP lets me
) – as I said right now it’s a “third hand comment” – but I see a new start up as beneficial for everyone, except the bit about taking over an established carrier.
Note – the “evil” icon (
) – it was just my p**s take on yours – while Boeing can persuade the FAA it’s just another variant on the 73 it can stay on the same Type Cert and save them money – so I fully expect our childrens children to be talking about the 737-9000.
Can’t see them doing a -50 though as the ‘00’s are actually used to give more details – ie it might be a -300 but really it’s a -332 or a -3YO, the last two denoting purchaser and delivered config (I think – used to know but no-one ever seemed interested).
Parrot & Teignmouth – thanks for the support.
SRT – do they have to be clean ones ?
