If the airlines would end the ridiculous baggage fees, people would be more inclined to check bags at the gate and not spending 5 minutes looking for open overhead bin space.
"Snubbed by the South"??? The corrupt and dishonest media continues....
The -10 will have light enough sales numbers for the under performing BSC to manage and the the fuselage is too large for the dreamlifter to transport it from BSC to Everett.
Get rid of the stupid bag fees and most people will actually check their bags. I'm NEVER in a hurry to board first and will board very late so I get to check my bag at the gate more often than not.
We can and do repair damaged skin panels that get damaged (dents, dings, gouges) but these fuselage sections will be scrapped. As bad as all this looks, this will disrupt the Renton assy plant for not much more than a few days to a week.
