  1. Delta will probably buy some used ones in 20 years to ensure that they keep their fleet old.

  2.  @oachkatzl93  that wasn’t in the original requirements, no bearing.

  3. MLB: “Since 2015, the airport had been named Orlando Melbourne International Airport. However, due to a lawsuit claiming this name was misleading to passengers, the airport changed its name in May 2021 to Melbourne Orlando International Airport.” 69 mile drive to Orlando.

  6. They should have ALREADY had their seatbelts on!!!

  7. The shop would have to inform you of the reason for the increased cost, and you would have to either authorize it or get your car back unrepaired.

  8. They cost too much to maintain due to their age and lack of -200 parts.

  9. Good! That’s what the DoD gets for forcing all of these Firm Fixed Price contracts!!!

  10. Missiles don’t target based on the visual spectrum.

  11. Arrival time IS the time that the aircraft gets to the gate!

  12. It’s more about lack of availability of parts.

  13. No, they want to prevent that from happening again.

  14. They need to do a mod so they can install two APUs.

  15. You would need to enlist
    3
  16. Electrical power requirements.
    3
  17. Not enough power either, would not have met the requirements and wasn’t proposed.

  18. Especially if Airbus never submitted a proposal.

  19. Having worked in the Program Office, your comment is spot on.

  20. Vibration, pressure, temperature, fumes, etc.
    3
  21. Mod for two APUs.

  22. If that happens most of us won’t be around to know that. There are many secure places around the world that the aircraft could safely land and not only refuel but also reload food and water.

  23. Try listening
    3
  24. That’s not how it works.

  25. The other common type of contract is “cost +” which means that the government would pay for the actual costs plus an additional fee usually based on a percentage of the costs.

  26. The “off the shelf” aircraft DIDN’T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS!
    3
  27. That’s probably what will happen.

  28. You’re supposed to count DOWN from 10th to #1. You save the biggest for last.

  29.  @springbok4015  only that would not have met the requirements.

  30.  @Bloblobloblown  $3.9 Billion
    2
  31.  @Bloblobloblown  only that’s what it will actually cost(or more) to produce these two aircraft.
    2
  32. No remaining parts for the-200’s, EXTREMELY HIGH maintenance and sustainment costs, and LOW operational availability!

  33. Which “Kennedy AF1”?
    2
  34. WHAT next presidency?
    2
  35. They both should go to Harrison Ford.

  36. I was going to say Cincinnati (CVG), since it isn’t even in Ohio, but the name is technically Cincinnati Northern Kentucky, and it’s only a 20 minute drive to the city.

  37. Listen, it said 2.5%.

  38. The AR was never used except during training.

  40. Only Airbus didn’t submit a proposal.

  41. Not enough engines to generate the required electrical power!

  42. That wasn’t bid, so it wasn’t selected.
    2
  43. Not enough power.
    2
  44. Loud and slow.

  45. That wouldn’t have met the requirements.

  46. -8

  47. Much better than the turboprop aircraft that they replaced.
    2
  48. But the pilots are also well trained.
    2
  49. And it will fly at half the speed of a RJ.

  50. That’s what I thought 4 years ago 😢
