@Av8rdan Although I’d be very surprised if they get anywhere near the delivers per month to hit 1600 (or even half that) in a decade…. Starts to smell like the Eclipse story…

@Av8rdan A decade ago I’d say this idea would never fly. Today — I expect the lack of windows won’t elicit a peep from prospective buyers. As an #avgeek and pilot it saddens me that few even look out the windows in airliners any more, and most GA jet passengers are even more interested in what’s inside vs. outside. And if they ARE interested in what is outside — those massive displays will seal the deal. Curious how much cost will be saved in that pressure vessel?

@gedeonm No! Tell me it isn’t so! Very sad!

@kkremitzki I generally agree (and would personally welcome the option) but as they have had this run in the past they do have data. Someone would have to really sell the story that “this time it’ll be different. “

@kkremitzki People regular propose the Twin Cities to Duluth passenger train, but ridership numbers never pencil out.

@kkremitzki shave both eyebrows off - that’ll show them!

@kkremitzki As a born and raised Minnesotan - glad to hear it!

@chrishuck Great idea! I need to make a tiny needle-nose- like attachment to clean the bottom of my 3D printers. Also, 1.0.1 was released last month. https://blog.freecad.org/2025/05/16/freecad-1-0-1-released/

@Av8rdan That much be the new F-3500 with room for 15 in the cockpit…

@carnage4life What I’ve seen is less about micro-managing (because rest of the group is in different offices around the world), and more about executives feeling embarrassed about all that expensive Class A office space sitting empty.
