You may be right but i remember reading somewhere that the 767 and 757 have the same exact cockpit, due to the 767 project being hurried or vice versa.

The 767 was never hurried, they were developed alongside one another, with the 767 actually entering service before the 757. As far as commonality goes, I think it’s fine and dandy that the A330/A340 has commonality with the A320 series and that pilots rated on one series can fly the other. But let’s be realistic here. If you’re an A340 captain on airline that also flies the A320 series, as you going to spend any time flying the little guys? I seriously doubt it.

This SwissAir will go out of business, and another will start up in its wake. Then that one will go out of business, as well….

So he just went off and put it on the A346, mind you very makeshift as it just looks like a sticker with white background. Brilliant!

In the AirlinerWorld article, did Sir Richard not ‘promise’ BA that he wouldn’t put, “BA couldn’t keep it up,” on his aircraft? I just saw a VS A340-600 with makeshift “Concorde, BA couldn’t keep it up” titles on it.

For 99% of people, ID=passport.

Not in the U.S., Mongu. The only ones that have passports here are the ones that travel abroad, and I’m sure that percentage isn’t as high as it is in Europe, per se. An I.D. here is a state issued Drivers License, or for those who don’t have one, a state issued Identification Card. By the way Michael, Thai’s Royal Barge was again at Heathrow on June 24th. I have a pic that I’ll post.

John, TWA never flew 737’s. As far as you being glad they’re no longer around, you’re entitled to your opinion. However, does one lousey flight justify wishing that, upon one of the most influential airlines in the history of aviation? I’ve had flights as bad as yours on America West, and I surely do not wish that fate upon them, let alone any airline, and their name isn’t even in the same ballpark as TWA’s. At any rate, what wound up happening to that flight Mike? On my journey to and fro LHR this last week and a half, all 4 of my UA flights arrived a half hour early every time.

Andrew, your scanner produces some good quality, actually. I’m very disappointed with mine. The next batch I get developed, I’m going to get directly on a picture CD, no paper. That way I eliminate the scanner.
