Boeing Unveils 777-200LR Worldliner -- Longest Range Commercial
Jetliner
There ain't no Airbus envy in Washington state... Boeing has
just unveiled the first 777-200LR Worldliner -- the world's longest
range commercial airplane -- at a celebration attended by more than
5,000 employees, airline representatives, suppliers, and government
and community leaders.

It looks like there is some good news on the horizon for a few
of the legacy carriers that have been struggling since 9/11.
Continental has announced that they will not only be recalling all
203 furloughed pilots in 2005, but there is a possibility they may
hire 80 additional pilots before the year is out.
Authorities in Zimbabwe say the Boeing 727-100 was carrying
mercenaries bent on staging a coup in Equatorial Guinea. They
stopped for fuel at Harare International Airport -- where they were
discovered and taken into custody.
But what about the plane?
Pilot Connections will conduct its next job fair in Phoenix on
Feb. 19, 2005, at The Crowne Plaza Airport Hotel from 1200 to 1600
local time. Pilot Connections is a new joint venture to host job
fairs and to promote aspiring pilots in their career goals through
awarding scholarships. The organization has awarded more than
$28,000 in aviation scholarships since 2002.
