B1G Money

whlinder

Took some adderall and a question from my Penn State worshiping family to look into bowel gayme charters.

They saw PSU boarding a United plane on twitter with REAL business class and asked what kind of plane it was. 2 pills later off I went...

United flew tOSU to ATL, PSU to LAX and is about to fly USC to DFW. The same 77W with 60 lie-flat business class seats flew all of them. SFO-CMH-ATL-IAD-MDT-LAX-DFW. USC flies in a couple of hours.

Michigan, being in a Delta hub, got an international 764 supporting breast cancer research to go to PHX, and also had a 757 an hour later.

TCU, being a poverty B12 school, took an American A321 to PHX. It's nearly twice as far from DFW to PHX as it is CMH-ATL.

UW flew an Alaska 739 to SAT, which is fine for a lower bowl game, but pretty sure we did the same in 2016 for a cross country flight. Looks like two separate 737s flew the UW contingent out of Boeing Field for the Alamo Bowl.

Takeaway is that real programs with money fly on the big birds when it matters. That ain't cheap.

You and your 53 seconds, sir. I was just about to respond to the OP.

Yes, programs that are serious about football fly on widebody airplanes. Cramming big football players onto a crappy 737 is not a good on many levels.

Player comfort and adequate rest is important while traveling to and from a game. Very difficult to get either in a narrow aluminum tube like the 737 with paper thin seats and minimal leg room.

It’s a great day when you take speed.

Meanwhile Alaska Air, Boeing and UW AD leadership can’t figure out how to put us in a nice plane and do some bullshit PR story about it? Not like they’re not sponsors… Typical low energy bullshit, send them some of your adderal til they figure it the fuck out.

Not to hijack the thread, ha ha, but Boeing dropped the ball 20+ years ago by not designing a clean sheet replacement for the 737. They needed a modern midrange narrowbody airframe that offered the latest technology and passenger comfort in the way of a larger fuselage tube.

To exacerbate the problem, they had to hurry and develop the 737MAX to compete with the Airbus A321 Neo. We all know how that turned out until Boeing fixed the crappy flight control software logic.

In any case, Airbus is going to stretch the A220 (formerly Bombardier C Series) to have the same capacity as the 737-800. It's really going to hurt Boeing. That company should have gotten rid of all the McDonnell Douglas executives.

In any case, Alaska flies only narrowbody airplanes. If UW AD wants to charter a 767 or larger, they need to call Delta, which has a Seattle base and they would be more than happy to accommodate.

You are preaching to the choir, Slices. It's easy enough to name the field after Delta. It all depends on whether or not Delta would want to outbid Alaska for UW AD business.

Who knows, maybe the fellas in Atlanta don't care for Leopard Print Jenny.

That's a whole thread for the Record Shoppe quite honestly. The slow downfall of Boeing Commercial Aircraft is a sad story.

Delta has the Seahawks, so they probably don't care about UW

But how is Boeing a poorly managed company?

RaceBannon

By the way the NCAA does make a shit ton of money and even though a great deal of it is spent on football and facilities, scholarships, and the non revenue sport,s I think that letting the football team fly charter on a big plane is a good use of the money. And a good argument

Insert joobs joke here.

Wide bodies don’t sound very sustainable.

I applaud UW’s responsible choice here.

Jen’s role as ASMD continues to be sustainable. Oh, you meant wide body planes.
