The World’s Richest Airlines Can’t Get Enough Hand-Me-Down Jets
Southwest scours the globe for bargains on used Boeing 737s Cheaper fuel means aging planes are less of a drag on profits (www.bloomberg.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
negotiation - someone with 12 has a bigger dream
United's 500's left the fleet almost a decade ago, they didn't all retire to the desert, but
while I'm sure there are 100's of used 37's around the world, they may not meet SWA's specs
for cycle life and or age.

A just average decent pilot with experience on any plane should be able to land it without any gauges. That was a test used in the 70, just like getting out of a spin or an incipient spiral. Today many glass gauges pilots can't figure out the fuel needed to reach destination and have to use BRS to drown a $250.000 glass equipped plane in the ocean ROFL. Today just ask anyone to figure out the square root of any 6 digits numbers without a calculator, Hint!!! Don't look for only glass gauges pilots.
You have to wonder what condition these aircraft are in, given they were operated by foreign carriers with foreign maintenance. I certainly would not want to purchase one unless Boeing itself fully went over every part of that aircraft first.
They'll be right at home then. Southwest accomplishes their heavy maintenance outside the U.S.
The worst maintenance records are held by North American Airlines, check it out....just after Russia.
American Airlines flight 191 (May 25, 1979), the deadliest aviation accident to have occurred in the United States, was caused by maintenance issues; and that was US maintenance.....so why do you think foreign maintenance is worse?
