Beyond the paywalls so the cannot link.
I believe that Canada's Air North still operates a couple of Boeing 737-200 combi's on short fields in the snow and ice. They have got to be over 40 years old

I’m not defending Airbus, and I’m not defending Boeing. I’m just giving my opinion.
as was i ...never be scared to give you opinion that's how we get rid of stagnant thought.
My two cents: * KLM will get MAX's, because Boeing will give them away for 'free' once the whole grounding drama is over. * Because KLM nor Transavia has ever flown with the A320-series aircraft (maybe a lease once of 1 plane?) they don't have trained pilots so they would need to retrain all of the...

Jump to postI’ve quite a bit of experience in both the 727 and 757 I appreciate your affection for the 727, it was a fine, solid,very fast aircraft and it handled beautifully However it can’t come close to the 757 in efficiency, payload and range, it certainly couldn’t do the same job Ill agree but it would ha...
Jump to postThe 727NG exists, its name is the 757. no it was the replacement but it missed the mark. Not to take anything away for the 757 though it too was a grate plane but it was to heavy and because of its tall landing gear it needs special equipment at the gate. the 727-200 did the job of the 737 & 75...

Jump to postWhen it comes to embarkation/disembarkation, is two narrow aisles any better than one wider one? As much as we complain about how McD has "ruined" Boeing since the merger, I think their AMTR/DC-XX concept from the early 1980s to compete with the 757 is the way to go for NSA/NMA. In its fi...

Jump to postKlm has already said that they want a all Boeing main line fleet. 737's,787's,777's replacing the 747;s. City Hopper will stick with the Ejets. This is old news. As far as Air France well of course they will go Airbus DUH!

Jump to post. The issue for the Su-100 is that the engines and aerodynamics are a half generation behind.

Jump to post[/quote]That's great but the CS isn't a regional jet and surely isn't configured as such inside. The CS100 is a shrink of the baseline CS300 sacrificing some economics for field performance and range much like the A319 is so of course it will be "too much airplane for the job". If it WS a ...
