Tweet Picks:
@BoeingSCSpotter The 1000th 787 Dreamliner 9V-SCP completed its B1 flight at CHS today!.
@David_Slotnick .@Delta is extending frequent flyer status through 2021, extending other benefit deadlines too.
@jonostrower Boeing’s Mike Sinnett, who was chief engineer for many years of the 787 program, once told me that the entire shape of the Dreamliner fuselage was determined by the shape of the lower deck and its ability to carry cargo pallets. The cabin came second.
@winglets747 Singapore Airlines ferried three 777-200s to Alice Springs. Note these were due for retirement anyway. Also at Alice Springs are two of Scoot’s older A320s.
@winglets747 Singapore Airlines will have the 1,000th 787, has the 10,000th Airbus and had the 1,000th 747.
