Great post Andrew. Thanks for crunching and publishing the numbers: it assigns a sense of scale to the operation. [Not sure about that 727 comment, though...I'm kinda partial to the 377, another great 3 engine airplane. cool ]

IMO the 757 is the best in the fleet!
I say it time and time again. This VA was great five years ago, to come back to many positive changes is such a great thing!

All the 727 program pilots were given one vote and for some reason it was unanimous! rolleyes

Actually, I threw that in to see who might catch it. All our aircraft in the fleet are great and the choices of programs are one of the things that make this VA so great! biggrin
