Post by: Angus on October 23, 2007, 12:05:21 PM: The dream of the Dornier drom the 20's/30's is coming true?

BTW, best flight comfort I ever had was in a 747-200 freighter. Well, there was only a ladder up to the top, but the chairs were good (16), we had a kitchen, and yes, beds, I think 4 of them.

But this one's bigger....

Wait, computers? Does it have Internet Access? And if so, can we play AH on it?

I can see it now, true Cherry picking from 30k.

How glorious.

(Also yeah, that's awesome!)

Post by: badhorse on October 24, 2007, 07:18:13 AM: People forget that when the 747 first came out it was advertised with bars, lounges and other 1st class amenities. Didn't take the airlines long to realize they would make more money filling the space with seats.

I look for the same thing to happen with the A380.

Post by: AquaShrimp on October 24, 2007, 09:14:38 AM: I don't like the way airline captains dress. They look more like steamboat captains than aircraft pilots. I think the airlines should come up with a blue flightsuit, something that shows both functionality and professionalism.
