Hello, Everyone!I recently read that WestJet will be the launch customer of the 737-600 with winglets. Will PMDG release an update allowing winglets on the -600 model?Thanks in advance,Eric

Eric,where did you read this? It's my understanding that the structure of the 737-600 does not allow for the use of winglets.

It was posted on Airliners.net. WestJet is supposedly the launch airline for the 736 with winglets.I asked this question not to long ago, see the topic here:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho..._id=74746&page=http://m.domaindlx.com/PacificAir/sig_3_small.jpg

Sorry, but not at the present time Eric.

Still a while to go before it enters into real life service ..."Flight testing, with a WestJet-provided aircraft, will run from March - May 2006 with FAA and Transport Canada certification expected the following July."Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com

Thank you for the responses. I did not realize it was that far off. Keep up the great work, PMDG! Your contributions to this hobby are wonderful.-Eric
