Spent most of my career flying the 747. 747-100/200/400 and 747SP. Was a check airman, APD and TCE giving type ratings on the 747-100/200/SP. Check Airman on -400. Love this airplane. Hope to keep flying her a little longer. Hopefully Boeing will change their mind.

More than 100 748s have been delivered, at $350 million each. But that's not good enough.

I know, the 777x doesn't even exist yet, and there are already 300 orders at $400 million each.

Insane.

I have heard this for a very long time and hate to hear it... They are in a class all there own and I think that they should keep it going...
