September 8, 201114 yr Haha, no bother, see you then.I don't mean to bother you, but I've heard that if you get permission from the Chief Pilot and fill out the Garda vetting form that you can stay in the cockpit for the whole flight. Is this true? Would it be okay with you if I tried this?

September 8, 201114 yr i don't see why we'd need a 717...Everyone has their own tastes. I'm sure there are a bunch who are thinking "Why do we need an L1011?"Personally speaking, I like all of my PMDG planes. I'd rather them NOT do commuter turbo props, but I enjoy the detail of the simulation, so I may purchase the rumored Dash 8 (as I did with the J41).There are reasons for a 717 addon (Boeing plane, it's still in service) and reasons against. In the end we can only present what we want on these forums and hope we get it! (For the record I'd take a L1011 over a Dash 8!) "I am the Master of the Fist!" -Akuma
September 8, 201114 yr Me! After looking at the 737 cockpit, the MD-11 is such a beautifully designed cockpit. So simple and clean and consistent. I'd love to have another plane with the MD cockpit and could use a plane along the DC-9 lineage.

In the end we can only present what we want on these forums and hope we get it! (For the record I'd take a L1011 over a Dash 8!) of course they do! i was just saying, we have the 737NGX already, why do we need a plane that there's only 156 of, where we've had 5,000NG's out there, 1,500 747s and 200 MD-11 (with many operators). The 717 doesnn't have many operators or units out there. I think the JS41 was kind of a mistake, too obscure. Inactive
September 9, 201114 yr The last time I flew the pilots were really nice and gave me a tour of the flight deck before push back and then invited me back in after we got to the gate. The crew on that plane was outstanding. Because I'm a POTATO!

September 9, 201114 yr Woot, I'd love a tour on the 27th >_>Well the more the merrier, There won't be a spare jump seat for the flight, but a tour before push-back could be arranged... Send me a PM. Rónán O Cadhain.
September 9, 201114 yr Well the more the merrier, There won't be a spare jump seat for the flight, but a tour before push-back could be arranged... Send me a PM.Haha Ronan, I was kidding I'll be home on the 27th, but thanks for the suggestion! (I can't get the accents on your name from my iPad, no disrespect)
September 9, 201114 yr Haha Ronan, I was kidding I'll be home on the 27th, but thanks for the suggestion!(I can't get the accents on your name from my iPad, no disrespect)Ah well no bother, I was starting to think to myself, "How am I gonna explain to the CP all these requests to visit my cockpit", she's nice but it'd certainly raise some eyebrows...

I'd love to have another plane with the MD cockpit and could use a plane along the DC-9 lineage. OK, since this has become a dual-topic thread, I'll give my opinion on both : - YES to a 717, for exactly the same reasons as Timmer's (although Ryan already said the chances were few). - YES too for a tour in Rónán's 330. Do you mind stopping over in Paris? Bruno PS (Rónán) : my english is not so good. Could you please explain the meaning of "stealing a thread"? PPS (Rónán again): That 330 is really a beauty. Understand Aer Lingus flies both the 200 and 300. Which version is used for flights to the US?
September 9, 201114 yr PS (Rónán) : my english is not so good. Could you please explain the meaning of "stealing a thread"? For the record, Niall stole it, not me... Rónán O Cadhain.
