terrible scenes from a city that my family has close connections with. Never thought I would have seen this in Oslo.

RIP to the lost and thoughts to the suffering.

No, if they had something potentially ready they would have shared with other carriers who have asked Boeing for there plans on either a new replacement or the 737RE.

Many airlines have asked Boeing for the information and got nothing substantial from the company. Unless Boeing thought orders from Alaska Air or Jet Airways were not important enough than the AA deal, which would be an even bigger absurdity.

Alaska Airlines has openly said that they got no information after inquiry about the 737RE until the AA deal yesterday. As far as I am concerned Boeing decided to go with the RE so as to not lose the whole single-isle order to Airbus.

The only comfort that Boeing would have got is that AA would not have been too happy with all the slots for the NEO while with Boeing (depending on how the RE shapes up) they have pretty much control over the whole project.

Boeing was caught between a rock and a wall. Simple as that.

apparently not a single person other than AA and Boeing knew anything about 737RE being offered. So shows it was a last minute ditch effort to salvage something.

Good luck with the treatment. 🙂

If you find yourself posting a lot on GD…that’s one of the sure-shot signs. :diablo:

what’s the consensus on Isle of Jura? anyone like it?

Highland Park is brilliant! I also like Talisker 15.

Penderyn Single Malt is alright, nothing spectacular though.
