Million dollar aircraft and still using membrane keyboards? I had to use a $9 (MSRP) keyboard at work (the Gray Lady of Silicon Valley) and came home to a electro-mechanical keyboard at home. My keyboard is still working. Wonder what happened to the Gray Lady!

May you live a thousand years! May each year be a thousand days! (South Asian birthday refrain). I enjoy every minute of my use with this incredible service. THANK YOU!

The current contract for government trips to ME is with JetBlue, I believe. Guess which airline is the proxy for this service? Sad? As I remarked in another thread, let us hope that the "neo" variants of B787 and A750 render the ME layovers extinct. The audacity of a BOAC (yeah, I'm ancient too!) or British Caledonian reject to lecture on profitability.

Slightly, off-topic here except to suggest that one needs to diminish the need for the neo-ME hubs. After all, these hubs (and Dubai will soon have TWO) grew strategically owing to poor performance and service by American and European airlines. Asian passengers (on trans-Atlantic flights) did not want to stop in Europe and European airlines (except for a notable one or two) persisted with poor schedule/service. Also, the 787 and 750 have changed the game. The new strategy with the LR models could overfly the ME hubs. Why does one traveling from England to Australia have to stop in one of the ME hubs? Yet I am constantly amazed at the folks who want a layover in Dubai.

Too bad that "Al" cannot secure international overflight rights to the extent that he has had to drop routes. Of course, I agree with your "Hecho en Chine" observation about trends except for commercial airlines. Some of the material facts are mind-boggling (e.e. number of bullet trains in the country) but copy-catting a 737 is a long way off from being a viable commercial entity.

Gone are the days when taking off from 34R/SEA, one could see on the right freshly painted 747s at BFI.

How does it compare with the one in Everett? :)
